Each culture has its own vision of female beauty. It is impossible not to agree that any girl in her own way is beautiful.
So, the Romanian photographer Mihaela Noros, starting from 2013, went on a trip and began to photograph women in each of the national cultures. Her own photo project, she called quite symbolically - "Atlas of Beauty". Its meaning is that everyone can see the amazing diversity and colorfulness of our planet with the help of women's portraits.

Beauty is in the eyes of the one who looks at you, but each has its own look, unrepeatable. Mihaela said in her interviews that the shooting of this project can serve as a mirror of the diversity of the peoples of the world, can be an inspiration for people trying to be real. Through these photos she tries to convey the feelings of warmth and tranquility that is characteristic of all women.
