Romanian Photographer Shoots Women From 121 Countries To Show That Beauty Is Everywhere
Beauty is everywhere and Mihaela Noroc, a Romanian portrait photographer is continuing her journey to prove it by traveling the world and photographing beautiful women. Her project is called "The Atlas of Beauty", and she posted the photos from 37 countries on Bored Panda roughly a year ago. Now, she is back with more beautiful pictures!
Beauty standards around the world can vary greatly, though sincerity and pure elegance, always wins compared to the ones depicted in social media.
"In the past two years I traveled around the world, and captured hundreds of portrait photography shots in diverse environments," she wrote on Bored Panda. "My goal is to show that allure is in our differences, not in trends, Beauty standards, money or race."
"Through my photography, I want to capture that feeling of warmth and serenity which is so specific to the most beautiful women in the world and comes to balance all the negativity we see in the media. I think people should be more aware of other cultures and beauty can teach us to be more tolerant."

It's nice that for the US they chose a redhead instead of a generic blonde

I love these photos! The woman are all so beautiful and diverse. The nay -sayers complaining about countries/regions not being represented have clearly not considered the work and expense that goes into world travel. I am certain this photographer would love to continue taking these photos as they are able to travel to new locations- and I REALLY hope those get shared as well! Keep up the amazing work you are doing! And ignore the haters ;-)

The photographer wasn't looking for the most British girl from England or the most Turkish girl from Turkey. They are capturing many different aspect of beautiful women. This is made to be empowering not b****y and critical. I think she's lovely!

Based on population data 2010, there are 1,340 ethnic groups in Indonesia. This lady's picture has taken in a boat somewhere in Java sea.. But I 99% believe that she is not Javaness.. I guess she is from the east of Indonesia... :)

She looks so rebellious, her bangs and her piercings create that effect, I guess.

The photographer sought dignity in their pose and connection through their eyes I think.

While the photography is undeniably beautiful in and of itself the vision of beauty itself is rather narrow. Size, shape, hair, features are all strikingly similar. Is the artist saying their idea of beauty is itself likeness? Only one short haired woman, no larger built women, no body modifications. I'd like to see this photographer's talent more broadly applied.

I totally agree. Throw a bit more culture and art in there

Beautiful women and images but it makes me wonder if throughout the whole world are only thinner girls considered attractive?
awesome 8 years ago
There is a vote system, the very first ones are young, thin and beautiful, while the ones at the end are older women. So it's mostly the view of the world on this type of beauty, not the photographer's. Also, the author of this article chose the photos to show, on the photographer's website are plenty of different women

Youth = beauty. It's really not that hard to shoot beautiful photographs when everyone is 18-25 years old. They're lovely but so are all young people. So I don't really get it I guess. Find me beauties in their 40s 50s 60s and beyond and I'm much more interested.

Have you not seen 29, 39, 68, 71 or 74? Not young.
