Who doesn’t love traveling? And we of course do when we get a break from work but how many of us actually have the guts to take a number of leaves just to take a tour round the world? Can you name one person you know who can leave everything, yes everything including job, to start an endless journey to unknown destinations? Stop recalling, you’d scarcely find any such individual but we have found a lady who is on a venture to portrait beauty from across the globe!!
Here we are talking about Romania’s Mihaela Noroc, a travel freak and professional photographer, who went above and beyond to fulfill her master project known as “Atlas of Beauty”. Under this project, she documents pretty ladies from each and every corner of the planet. Mihaela is traveling since 2014 and in her journey’s first leg of about 15 months, has taken a tour to over 30 nations. In her project’s second leg which commenced in June last year, she made up mind of visiting 30 new countries so that she can “capture the authentic beauty from different corners of the world”.
This is what Mihaela Noroc has written in her blog, “Beauty means diversity and I travel the world to discover it. In my opinion, beauty means to keep alive your origins and your culture. To be natural, sincere, authentic, particular, not necessary fashion. Maybe in 50 years all women from all around the world will dress and act the same. I hope my project will remain a witness of my era’s cultures and traditions. My goal is to continue for many years and to study beauty in all countries of the globe, if possible, making this Atlas a project known around the world and an inspiration for all women that try to be themselves.”
