Atlas of Beauty: Photographer highlights the diversity of women around the world

Romanian photographer Mihaela Naroc created The Atlas of Beauty project a few years ago, and in her book you can see the diversity and beauty of women around the world.

My goal is for all women to shine like stars, because beauty is diversity and not just what we see in the media. Beauty has no age, colors or trends, and can be found in every human being with a good heart. I hope this book will reach many homes around the world, convincing more and more people that diversity is a treasure and not a cause for conflict and hatred. We are very different, but at the same time we are all part of the same family."
