Two years ago, Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc embarked on a personal photo project called ‘The Atlas Of Beauty’, where she traveled the global to photograph women from different countries and cultures.
Wanting to prove that “beauty is everywhere”, her intimate portraits feature natural and diverse forms of feminine beauty from around the world.
“Global trends make us look and behave the same, but we are all beautiful because we are different,” she said on Bored Panda. “In the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder is always somebody else.”
“My goal is to continue and take photos of women from each country of the globe, making ‘The Atlas Of Beauty’ a mirror of our diverse societies and an inspiration for people that try to remain authentic.”
