Esther Honig, a journalist, wonders about the standard of the word “BEAUTY” in different countries around the world. She comes up with an idea to answer this question by sending an unaltered photo of herself to photoshop experts around the world and told them “MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL”.
This is the original photo of her.
There are some of the result photo from her project.
Argentina Australia Morocco
United Kingdom Chile Philippines
Thailand
Some experts adjust the background color, apply makeups, add accessories and even change the hairstyle. So that each resulting photo represents the personal and cultural beauty standards of each country.
However each person also defines the word “BEAUTY” differently depending on his/her own personal interest. Therefore this project is just an example of how each representative photoshop experts thinks about the word “BEAUTY”, it does not mean that all people of each country will prefer the same thing.
