Check Out These Pictures Of Women From Around The World – Further Proof Beauty Transcends Race

Two years ago, 29-year-old Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc quit her job, grabbed a backpack and her camera and set off around the world to see what she could see.

Since then she’s visited over 60 countries and pulled together a project that she calls The Atlas of Beauty, that involved her photographing hundreds of women in their natural environment to prove that beauty is ‘everywhere’.

In a post Mihaela put up on Bored Panda yesterday, she explained her project like this: ‘Global trends make us look and behave the same, but we are all beautiful because we are different. 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.’

Sure the subjects that Mihaela has focused on are all very obviously conventionally attractive women, but nevertheless it’s interesting to see someone actively trying to disprove the notion that the concept of ‘beautiful’ has to defined by just one race and just one culture.

Plus, the pictures are insane. Have a flick through the gallery below.
