30 Portraits Of Amazing People Of The World From My ‘The World In Faces’ Project
25Kviews
Hi! My name is Alexander Khimushin. Eight years ago I packed my backpack to travel the world and I have been globe-trotting ever since.
While travelling the world, I realised that people are the most amazing part of it. Especially in those remote places, where culture and traditions are still alive. There are hundreds of unique ethnic minorities in the world. However, due to globalisation, wars, racism and religious discrimination, many of these people are living on the edge. They are losing identity, language, traditions and, in some cases, facing total extinction.
Watching it all happening before my eyes I came up with an idea of the project The World In Faces. I wanted to show diversity of the world we are all living in by taking portraits of its incredible people. If we all realise how unique and amazing we, the people, are, we will care more about each other, be more tolerant to people of another ethnicity, religion and culture.
I have taken hundreds of portraits for this project within the last two years and plan to continue. My dream is to take portraits of people of all ethnic groups of the world.

Her eyes draw you in. I see much pain and wisdom. Her beadwork, crocheted accessories and clothing is fantastic.

You found the most beautiful people in the world! Each one of these persons is unique and yet represent the gorgeous state of humans all over the planet. What a wonder-filled production!
I saw beauty in all your photographs. Thank you. I wish you well in your travels.
Thank you very much, Grace! I think every single person in this world is beautiful, if only we're willing to see it!
I agree. But you know, once I started drawing portraits as exercise, long ago, with real people as models, of which some I knew, some I didn't, then I actually got to really experience the aesthetic beauty in each individual and confirmed my thinking.
We have no enough of our life to see all of them unfortunately, so the more thank you. Keep well and have a beautiful longer days.
Thank you, Irek! I'll try to visit more places and share more photos here! I also will add many other portraits all over the world on Instagtam and Facebook pages of my project. Feel free to subscribe if you're interested to see them!
