Matej Peljhan.






Photographer Matej Peljhan paired up with twelve-year-old Luka--a young boy who suffers from muscular dystrophy--to create a series in which Luka is pictured in a variety of exciting escapades. Luka's conditions has limited him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Though he has full capability of using his hands and fingers, to draw and drive, write, and drive his wheelchair, things like scuba diving and breakdancing are virtually impossible for him (though the latter is impossible for most of us). According to Colossal, "After having a conversation with Luka about his understandably normal desire to play sports or go swimming, Peljan was struck with the idea to create a non-digitally manipulated series of photographs showing the boy conquering a number of imaginary physical feats. The photographer used sheets and other props as a backdrop and shot Luca from above to capture each image, showing clearly the boy’s strength and shared sense of humor."
