When photographer Yulia Taits posted her hypnotizing photo series that capture the beauty of Albino people, it inspired us to look further and find more people with Albinism.
As you may already know, Albinism is a rare condition which results in the absence of pigment in hair, eyes, and skin. However, it's not only the appearance, though, the Albinos often suffer from vision problems and sometimes even blindness. These issues can lead to isolation, making the works of artists like Yulia even more important. "Their unique beauty hypnotizes me," - says Yulia and we couldn't agree more.
Humans with Albinism often face some difficulties being ridiculed and discriminated. In some African regions, albino women might even be associated with witchcraft. And though many famous artists and models suffer from this condition, the International Albinism Awareness Day, celebrated on June 13th, adds much-needed attention to this cause.
Scroll down to see Yulia's photos, perfectly depicting Albino people beauty and the next time you think about what is albinism, this may pop into your head.

I think she's one of the most beautiful women i've seen. All these pictures have an almost jarringly serene feel to them
I have albinism and I think this is amazing. being a kid people bully you but when you get older people want to have white hair.
My 10y son has it we had to pull him out of school due to bullying. But I think he is beautiful!

I appreciated that also yet couldn't help but notice that terms such as "beauty" or "pure" were ascribed to only certain ethnicities. Not to say this was intentional but noticeable.

Their eyelashes are particularly fascinating to me. Overall, very gorgeous, each and every person who participated in this :)
That is interesting, because so called normal people come up to me daily and tell me I need to wear makeup to be pretty. The are specifically talking about eye makeup which I can't wear because it burns the s**t out of my eyes. Not that I want to wear it because it is not my responsibility to paint my face normal to make other people feel more comfortable.
