Mihela Noroc gathered 500 of her portraits of women around the world in an unusual book called "The Atlas of Beauty." Read more below.

Mihaela Noroc

In the last four years I have traveled almost continuously around the world, photographing women and listening to their stories. Now I gathered 500 of these portraits in a unique book called The Atlas of Beauty.

Through this book I want to honor the wonderful women of our world. To show that their beauty has no bounds, so acceptance, love, and compassion shouldn't either.

I hope this book will get into many homes around the world, convincing more people that diversity is a treasure and not a trigger for conflicts and hate. We are very different but at the same time we are all part of the same family. -- Mihaela Noroc
