Based on the author's online photography project, this stunning collection features portraits of 500 women from more than 50 countries, accompanied by revelatory captions that capture their personal stories. Since 2013 photographer Mihaela Noroc has traveled the world with her backpack and camera taking photos of everyday women to showcase the diversity of beauty all around us. The Atlas of Beauty is a collection of her photographs celebrating women from all corners of the world, revealing that beauty is everywhere, and that it comes in many different sizes and colors. Noroc's colorful and moving portraits feature women in their local communities, ranging from the Amazon rainforest to London city streets, and from markets in India to parks in Harlem, visually juxtaposing the varied physical and social worlds these women inhabit. Packaged as a gift-worthy, hardcover book, The Atlas of Beauty presents a fresh perspective on the global lives of women today.
Reviews with the most likes.
The general idea of the author's work is to take pictures of women around the world and to tell us—if needed—their stories, work, dreams, nightmares, etc.
This book badly needed an editor for two reasons:
First, trim down the volume. The book should've been around 100–150 pages.
Second, to inform her that she needs to at least quote or mention the struggle that women face in India, North Korea, and—the most obvious one—the Palestinian territories, as she quoted and mentioned the struggle that women in some parts of the world go through to just be pole dancers.
