These Women From 37 Countries Prove Beauty Exists Everywhere

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. And 29-year-old Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc proved just that in her dream travel project 'The Atlas of Beauty'. After quitting her job some years back, Mihaela packed her suitcase and left Romania to travel the globe. Her aim was to capture women and their beauty across nations to reiterate the fact that beauty comes from authenticity, and not cosmetics and sizes. Says she, "In my project, 'The Atlas of Beauty' I am trying to capture the feminine beauty through traditions and customs. I do like when every woman I shoot has a story to tell about the culture she represents, this way the Atlas of Beauty is also a study on cultural diversity."

Needless to say, the photographs she clicked are nothing but magical representing both the beauty and the culture of the woman rather truly. Check out her 30 best pictures from the project.
