For years, women have been fed with stereotypical notions of what looking beautiful means. Tall, great hair, perfect skin, but does that represent who we really are? Five female photographers capture every day women in their authentic surroundings, creating a visual landscape that truly reflects us as a nation

GOING BEYOND THE SURFACE
“Beauty for me is skin-deep. It is what’s on the inside that counts more than what’s on the outside. I find polite, kind, and intelligent people the most beautiful. Beauty is also looking at my two-year-old twins when I wake up in the morning. They bring a smile to my face, and that’s priceless.”

THE MANY SHADES OF BEAUTY
“Beauty to me is about imperfections, it’s relative. The so-called ‘flaws’ we grow up with make us unique, individual and different. And that in itself is so magical. To me, beauty is about diversity. That’s what makes me beautiful.”
