Representatives of more than 50 ethnic groups took part in the photo project “National Origins of Beauty”. It is ethnic groups, and not states, that are the basis of the project. Natalya Ivanova clearly demonstrates the entire multinational flavor of the world and the diversity of the world through the beauty of women.
