What is Beauty?
Showcasing strong women around the country by Studio2257 Portraits
“Project Beauty” is about helping empower all the girls/women that are struggling with depression, suicide, bullying, eating disorders and those being victimized by sexual violence and any other struggle that leaves you feeling invisible, isolated, or suffocated.
“Project Beauty” uses photos as a powerful visual representation of your natural inner beauty. A very powerful way to show yourself and the world your inner and outer beauty as one while making you feel valued, understood, and validated. Expressing your fears, disappointments, and pain through photographs can be very healing and sends a powerful message to the world, a process that will lift your confidence and empower you to stand strong throughout life. Photography has the distinctive ability to free you from the notion of perfection and help you embrace the flaws that make you uniquely beautiful.
The “Project Beauty” project started in 2017 by Thomas Nguyen a Cincinnati, OH Photographer. It quickly grew into a national phenomenon with hundreds of photographers participating. Click here if you would like to read some testimonies of the original Cincinnati girls that participated. Their photos and message made me want to start my own “Project Beauty” here in Arizona. I have never done a project with more heart. Thomas originally focused on high school aged girls but I want to open it up to any woman that is struggling.
