So I stumble across this guys work today, Christopher Voelker, an LA based photographer and I immediately recognised many of his images. After further investigation I was totally blown away.
See for yourself:

He's shot Mick Fleetwood, Rhianna, Beyonce, Christine Applegate and hundreds more in a career spanning over 20 years. What's even more remarkable is that he's been quadraplegic and in a wheelchair since he was 16 years old.

In the last twenty years he's been a real ground-breaker. The first disabled photographer to shoot posters for the major motion-picture studios, countless magazine covers, and an active participant in promoting the rights of the disabled. He's lost jobs when people have found out he's in a wheelchair, and it hasn't put him off one bit. As far as he's concerned the images are what matters, and everyday is a new day.
Inspirational man. Amazing photographer.
