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 win compared to those 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."

OK so just for the record this woman is Columbian so probably of Spanish descent, even though her skin tone is black. Maybe we can ease up on Tash-eeba Nelson a little?

Actually, they had slavery in Columbia, so this woman is probably of African descent. According to Wikipedia, Afro-Colombians make up about 11% of the Columbian population.

Make me so unbelievable sad that beauty never ever ever ever can be a anything else but skinny women...... you know, mankind are dying from overweight, not anorexia
JohnLKelly 9 years ago
Great shots. But beauty is far more than nationality, race, or other physical aspects. It is all due to Math. Better yet, The Golden Ratio of Beauty, or Fibonacci Equation. That is why some above are more appealing than others; they are closer to the perfect 1 - 1.618 ratio angles. If you don't believe me, look it up. Everything appealing is subject to this equation, including the entire universe. Even your computer monitor. Compare the older 16:10(1920:1200) aspect ratio monitors to the newer 16:9(1920:1080). Without realizing this, you will always be drawn to the former over the later. If I cannot obtain a 16:10 monitor I will always look for a frame that has a wider base than the rest of the frame, because the overall equation will be closer to the 1-1.6 ratio. Here's a good explanation: http://www.intmath.com/numbers/math-of-beauty.php . Here's a video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMrmQtuU-gA .

Great photography, but the only one that actually captured anything of importance was 16. Obviously beauty is everywhere, but capturing the "perfect" physical body in every photo I feel is a bit shallow. Attack me if you will, but I think you'd rather this post than one ogling their perfect physiques.

Stop being uppity! Nowhere does it imply she is Javaness. Unless the person is from a foreign country then ALL photos mention only location and country. As this one states Java Sea location and Indonesia country (then the boat is likely closer to the Indonesian shore line atm) then yes she is most likely Indonesian.

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.

A painter has the right to choose if to paint a tree or a landscape, it is his choice, a piano player can choose to play Vivaldi or Beethoven, just as a photographer has the right to choose what to shoot.
