Hi! My name is Alexander Khimushin. Eight years ago I packed my backpack to travel the world and I have been globe-trotting ever since.

While travelling the world, I realised that people are the most amazing part of it. Especially in those remote places, where culture and traditions are still alive. There are hundreds of unique ethnic minorities in the world. However, due to globalisation, wars, racism and religious discrimination, many of these people are living on the edge. They are losing identity, language, traditions and, in some cases, facing total extinction.

Watching it all happening before my eyes I came up with an idea of the project The World In Faces. I wanted to show diversity of the world we are all living in by taking portraits of its incredible people. If we all realise how unique and amazing we, the people, are, we will care more about each other, be more tolerant to people of another ethnicity, religion and culture.

I have taken hundreds of portraits for this project within the last two years and plan to continue. My dream is to take portraits of people of all ethnic groups of the world.

    Great reasoning. Braces correct teeth. This process removes four front teeth and proceeds to disfigure and mutilate the human body. This may be akin to plastic surgery gone crazy. It most certainly is not akin to getting braces. Got to love the mutated thinking that shows up on the internet.

    This is beauty in their culture. Because we wouldn't do it, doesn't make it wrong.

    If she can eat and speak properly, then I agree with you, but.... Can she? I'm curious. Also, the process looks very painful, so....

    Lip plate, traditional body modification for female Mursi only. They make a cut under lower lip and stretch it. Four front teeth must be removed to wear it

    Can she talk? Even if she were to take this disk out, her mouth would be too stretched. This must be incredibly inconventient
