It seems like worldwide ideals of beauty have been all over the news lately. Ester Honig, for example, asked 40 Photoshop techs in 25 different countries to edit her according their culture’s standard to prove that there isn’t one standard of beauty that extends around the world.
Now, Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc has taken Honig’s project to the next level by traveling the world to capture women of all creeds in a series called The Atlas of Beauty. “Beauty means to keep alive your origins and culture,” Noroc writes on her website, “to be natural, sincere, authentic, particular, not necessarily fashionable or skinny.”
The photographs from the Atlas of Beauty project embrace all shapes and sizes, skin tones, and personalities. Noroc has travelled through 37 countries thus far and hopes to raise donations so that the project can continue.
