A Series Of Portraits That Showcases Albinos’ Delicate Beauty





Photographer Sanne De Wilde captured a group of albinos, highlighting their unique beauty in her project, ‘Snow White’.



De Wilde, whom we featured previously, approached her subjects with a delicate hand—besides showing their fair features, she intended to make us question about the way we view these light-sensitive albinos.



“I try to present it as a fragile physical state, an unwanted mask, but at the same time as a powerful metaphor for the ‘other’…They become a metaphor, a symbol for stereotypes; they magnify the erroneous idea of human weaknesses and physical fragility but also that of (un)earthly, breathtaking beauty,” said De Wilde.
