This Photographer Travels The World To Capture Captivating Portraits Of Women

Two years ago, Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc quit her job to start a new life. She took her backpack and her camera and traveled the globe photographing natural women surrounded by their culture.

“Beauty is diversity,” says Mihaela Noroc, “and I travel the world to discover it.”

Her project is called “The Atlas of Beauty,” which features a captivating collection of portraits of women Noroc met in her travels. The collection is also an attempt to show that beauty is everywhere.

“It’s not a matter of cosmetics, money, race, or social status, but more about being yourself. Global trends make us look and behave the same, but we are all beautiful because we are different.”

So far, Noroc has traveled to 37 different countries on a very low budget. Let’s take a look at the captivating photos she took.
