Hello. We are photosymbols, based in Bristol in the United Kingdom.
Here you can find out about our photo library for easy-read.
Our pictures are quite unique and feature actors and models with learning disabilities. We work in partnership with a number of self-advocacy groups to develop new ideas. This makes sure our pictures reflect real life and real experiences.
Photosymbols can be used in your own documents alongside written text to help make it easier to understand. It’s easy to search and find matching pictures which are now all available in high resolution suitable for professional print, posters and banners.
To use the photos you just need a subscription. These start at £150 for a year and can be purchased in our online shop. We also accept payment by Purchase Order if that is the way your organisation likes to pay for things.
We continue to look at new topics and requests for images and regularly update the library with new pictures.

Today we switched on a new version of our website. We wanted it to be more beautiful as well as adding a number of new features.
The Archive Project
At Photosymbols we work with lots of different self-advocacy groups up and down the country. We see or hear about the gaps when a group closes, sometimes after five, ten or even twenty years.
Young People
It's been great fun to work with a group in the South East to create some new photosymbols featuring young people. Check them out in this video slideshow.
