Project Beauty

Project Beauty is an idea started by photographer Thomas Nguyen a couple years ago, in an attempt to re-define what "Real Beauty" means. Every day teenagers are seeing social media, and publication images of how popular culture sees beauty. It greatly affects how the younger generations feels they need to look. This project is all about true and natural beauty. Understanding that you don't have to look a certain way. You don't have to take 90 selfies before you can post one.

So for my first shoot with my Ambassadors, they came with no makeup, and everyday hair and clothes. Everyone seemed a bit nervous about this, but really started to open up.  I always notice certain things about each one of my girls that I love. From their eyes, to their smile, or sense of humor. I asked them each to give me their definition of what real beauty means to them.

 

Real beauty is in how you treat others, and represent yourself. it’s simply the way you were made. You as you are how ever you choose to express yourself

Real beauty is not merely physical, it is what is in your heart and how that is expressed through your actions. Real beauty is found in strength and character.

Real beauty is the ability to be honest with yourself and others. To show your individuality and personality through a natural state without enhancements.

To me, beauty is being confident with who you are. Not just on the outside, but on the inside too. Knowing that no matter what others think of you, you are beautiful.

The word beauty should not exist. With any word comes an opposite word. For beauty, that word is ugly. Nowadays, when society looks at people, places, or things they choose between beautiful or ugly. Most people’s preferences in beauty don’t fit what is normal. When I hear the word beauty I think of super models who I will never look like, or expensive places I will never be able to visit. If the word beauty didn’t exist I’m sure there would be another word that would take its place. but it would be better for society as a whole, to see everyone and everything in the same light.

My definition of true beauty is not something that comes from outward adornment. Crazy hairstyles and elaborate clothing cannot define who a person is. The simplicity that is shown through natural beauty reflects how truly elegant and graceful souls really are.

Real beauty is being true to yourself with confidence, a positive attitude, and a kind heart.-

Real beauty for me has very little to do with looks. I believe real beauty shines through with a person's  personality. Little things like a laugh, or helping others let it shine through.

Beauty is being the best possible version of your self inside and out. Beauty goes way beyond looks. Beauty is unique, genuine expression of who we are inside and out. Instead of, or along with, having a pretty face, have a pretty mind, heart and soul. That is what pretty means to me.
