Photos by Virginie Noël: "Phom Pehn Stars"

Virginie Noël studied graphic design and psychology in Belgium and in Ireland. She has lived in Cambodia since 2007 where the press is among many clients that benefit from her flair for photography. This series of photographs feature boxers and lady boys who live only for their audience. They push the limits in order to achieve their desire: the lady boys in their quest for ultimate femininity, the boxers investing body and soul in their role of warriors. They are both outcasts living at the margin of society in their pursuit for the essence of virility and extreme femininity...
