The Atlas of Beauty

Photographs and stories of 500 women from around the world, based on the author's hugely popular website. Since 2013, Mihaela Noroc has traveled the world with her backpack and camera, taking photos of everyday women to showcase the diversity and beauty all around us. The Atlas of Beauty is a collection of her photographs that celebrates women from fifty countries across the globe and shows that beauty is everywhere, regardless of money, race, or social status, and comes in many different sizes and colors. Mihaela's portraits feature women in their native environments, from the Amazon rainforest to markets in India, city streets in London, and parks in Harlem, creating a mirror of our varied cultures and proving that beauty has no rules. Stunning, it aims to challenge the ideals of beauty dictated by the women's fashion magazine industry. A startling and revealing project.
