She wanted to pursue a small passion project that she calledThe Atlas of Beauty.
What it entailed: Photographing portraits of women across the globe to show the beauty in diversity.
The exquisite portraits of women in countries from Colombia to Iranwent viral, reaching millions.
Today, the 30-year-old Romanian focuses onThe Atlas of Beautyfull-time.
She’s collecting images to make a book, which she hopes to publish next year.
She’s continuously traveled the world for three years, visiting more than 45 countries since beginning the project.
Her photos are usually simple, showing natural womenoften sans makeupin their everyday environment.
It challenges beauty standards by showing so many unique faces all together, all beautiful in different ways.
She hopes the project will inspire people to remain authentic, rather than try and look like each other.
She speaks five languages, and often chats with the women at length.
Sometimes she tells their stories in detail onFacebookandInstagram.
