Travel Photographer Captures What Happens When People Around The World Are Told They Are Beautiful
319Kviews
Mehmet Genç is a Turkish travel photographer who goes by the name of Rotasiz Seyyah (roughly translated as "nomad without a route"). His pictures are stunning but one project in particular will really put a smile on your face. He calls it "You Are So Beautiful" and the idea is simple. Genç tells the people he meets on his travels that they're beautiful and then captures their responses on film. And as you can see from the pictures below, his subjects often react in the sweetest of ways.
Genç spent six years working in IT in Istanbul before quitting to follow his passion for photography. "Fools courage can sometimes help you make the most important decisions in your life," he writes. He was born and raised in Samsum, Turkey, but these days he seems to call everywhere home. He's currently in Manaus, Brazil, and you can follow his travels on Instagram where he has over 91k followers.

The fact that those two worlds can have a "school girl-like reaction makes me so happy!
Her look of surprise tells me she probably only hears "you're beautiful" when talking to, or about the baby
It is such a real laugh :D 'Me?? HAHA beautiful?! HAHA! Oh go play with another one HAHA'
Aaaw, she was happy to be told that! Yay! Joy with a little bit of shyness. <3
I love the changes in expression in their eyes, and they are genuinely smiling, and even a bit shy in a few of the photos. Beautiful project.
I love the variety of reactions! Some people smile, some people laugh, some people get embarrassed and turn away. Just another expression of everyone's unique beauty <3
These women are all beautiful and when they smile they become even more enchanting
