Mihaela is Romanian. She has traveled through 50 countries and territories, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and North Korea, capturing vibrant images of women of all ages, rich and poor, and spending time talking with them. Her journey lasted four years. She named this project "Atlas of Beauty." In an interview with CNN, Mihaela said: "I try to focus on the stories of these women. How they face life's challenges and overcome them." For Mihaela, all women are beautiful and strong, despite facing social prejudices and often discrimination. Below are some of the 500 photos Mihaela published in her photo book:
