Have you ever wondered how many nationalities there are on our planet? You will not get a 100% accurate answer - this number changes every year. About 180 live on the territory of Russia alone - and even this figure cannot be called the only true one. Russian photojournalist Natalya Ivanova decided to do the almost impossible - to embody all ethnic diversity in photography through female beauty. A woman is a symbol of peace, home, homeland and, of course, real beauty. Natalia's main goal is to demonstrate each unique ethnic group, no matter how small it may be and no matter what political status it has. The site of the National Origins of Beauty project (Les origines de la beauté) already has more than 57 different ethnic groups. Any girl can become the face of her ethnic group, subject to certain conditions. Firstly, she must be a representative of any nationality for at least three generations. The second condition is age from 18 to 30 years old, external attractiveness and photogenicity. Despite the fact that the point that concerns appearance is rather subjective, Natalya successfully selects really beautiful girls to participate in the filming. See for yourself.
