For more than two years, I have been doing portrait photography, going around the world with my backpack and my camera. In this journey, I photograph beautiful women surrounded by their environment. My travel photo project is called "The Atlas Of Beauty" and is about our beautiful world's diversity shown through portraits of women. My last destination was a special one: North Korea.
North Korean women are not familiar with global trends, but this doesn't mean that they are not preoccupied with their looks. They are, definitely!
The women of the Hermit Kingdom have a passion for high heels and usually wear classic outfits, always accompanied by a pin, on the chest, representing one of the country's leaders. During celebrations and other special occasions, they wear traditional colorful outfits.
My goal is to continue and take photos of the beauty around the world, showing that our charm is in our differences.
