A global portrait collection centered on women’s everyday lives

Built from Mihaela Noroc’s photography project, this hardcover gathers 500 portraits of women across more than 50 countries, pairing each image with a caption about its subject’s personal story. The photographs move among markedly different local contexts—from the Amazon rainforest and Indian markets to London streets and Harlem parks—placing individual faces alongside the social and physical environments around them. Across its broad geographic range, the collection foregrounds varied expressions of beauty, identity, and daily life, using portraiture as a record of women’s presence in communities worldwide.

Book overview

Based on the author's online photography project, this stunning collection features portraits of 500 women from more than 50 countries, accompanied by revelatory captions that capture their personal stories.

Since 2013 photographer Mihaela Noroc has traveled the world with her backpack and camera taking photos of everyday women to showcase the diversity of beauty all around us. The Atlas of Beauty is a collection of her photographs celebrating women from all corners of the world, revealing that beauty is everywhere, and that it comes in many different sizes and colors. Noroc's colorful and moving portraits feature women in their local communities, ranging from the Amazon rainforest to London city streets, and from markets in India to parks in Harlem, visually juxtaposing the varied physical and social worlds these women inhabit. Packaged as a gift-worthy, hardcover book, The Atlas of Beauty presents a fresh perspective on the global lives of women today.
