Le Petit Prince – A photo series with 12-year-old Lukas with Muscular Dystrophy
In the heartwarming photo series “Le Petit Prince,” 12-year-old Lukas is depicted leading the active life of an ordinary boy: playing basketball, skateboarding, and so on—all activities he cannot perform in real life due to muscular dystrophy. The series was created by Matej Peljhan, a Slovenian photographer and psychologist who specializes in photographic therapy. Peljhan focuses on people with special needs in his professional work due to his own life experience—he lost an eye and an arm in a childhood accident and endured years of rehabilitation as a youth.
The Girl Got Balls by Marcus Koppen
The Girl got Balls is an ongoing portrait project of Ladyboys (transgender men) in Thailand who come from all social classes and ages. It’s created by photographer Marcus Koppen.
Their bodies tell of their physical and emotional struggle to change, to become what they have always dreamt of: though born as boys, most of them desire to look like glamorous international supermodels or famous movie stars. These portraits try to capture their intense personal struggle in making their transformation. Behind the ladyboys’ dreams are fundamental human issues that touch upon identity, body, beauty, sexuality, race and the longing to be accepted.
