The Atlas of Beauty

For the past 11 years photographer Mihaela Noroc has been traveling the world, photographing women and listening to their stories. Her goal is to show that beauty is much more than what we usually see in the media.

Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.

Mahatma Gandhi

Real beauty has no bounds and you’ll find it anywhere, from villages in Afghanistan to big avenues in New York City, from isolated communities in the Amazon to crowded crossings in Tokyo. Real beauty is not about how we look, but about all the qualities that make us good human beings. In a more and more divided world, The Atlas of Beauty aims to show a different perspective, promoting hope and love.

The Author
Mihaela Noroc is a 39 years old photographer from Romania. After photographing women in 100 countries she believes that this is not the end of the road, but only the beginning. As a mother of a young girl, Mihaela feels more motivated than ever to share the diversity of the world with her daughter and with her audience. Since she became a mother, five years ago, Mihaela and her daughter visited over 35 countries together. Mihaela dreams to make The Atlas of Beauty a lifelong project that promotes the beautiful side of humanity and brings a contribution, no matter how small, to a better world.
