I’m fascinated by the Caucasus, a mountainous region where Europe and Asia converge, with many distinctive ethnic groups and an incredible variety of faces. Her name is Delyara, she’s Ossetian and I photographed her on the streets of Vladikavkaz, Russia, in June 2016. These days I’m in Kathmandu, Nepal. #TheAtlasOfBeauty #AroundTheWorld #Russia #Ossetia

They are surrounded by some of the world's highest mountains and live in a very isolated environment. It takes a lot of time to get to their spectacular region, but it's definitely worth the effort. The Pamiris don't have their own country and live in a mountainous area which stretches from eastern Tajikistan, to northeastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan and western China. With their thick eyebrows, colourful outfits, elegance and amazing strength, Pamiri women are part of one of the most particular ethnic groups in the world. Most of them follow Nizari Ismailism and often blend beautiful traditions with liberal views about the world. I took this photo last year in Gorno-Badakhshan which is an autonomous region of #Tajikistan. #TheAtlasOfBeauty #AroundTheWorld

I met her on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, one year ago. She was studying intensely to become an actress. Back then her amazing city, one of my favourites in the world, was peaceful. In the last year Istanbul became the scene of many terrible terrorist attacks. My thoughts go to all people affected by these attacks and by similar tragedies that happen all over the planet, these days. While traveling to some conflict areas around the world I realised that is not the religion, the colour or the ethnicity the real reason for conflicts and intolerance. But the ego and greed of a small group of people. They would do anything to raise hate among ordinary people and make us be part of their wars. I hope that our love can be stronger than their greed. #Turkey #TheAtlasOfBeauty #AroundTheWorld

She's Nastya, from Korolyov, Russia, in front of the small shop where she works, taking passport photos. However her wish is to take landscape photos around the world. Some time ago she made the first step to her dream, starting to study photography, while also working hard to make a living. From the small shop where she works , her dream seems far away, but "far" was never a synonym of "impossible". #TheAtlasOfBeauty #Russia #AroundTheWorld

Tzvetana is an amazing mix of grace and strength. Her name comes from the word "flower" in Bulgarian. She plays in the national ice hockey team of Bulgaria. Although this sport is not very popular in her country, she put all the efforts in her passion. It meant great sacrifices to follow her dream, because ice hockey is an expensive and tough sport, and she did it without losing her innocence and beautiful smile. #Bulgaria #TheAtlasOfBeauty #AroundTheWorld

In Omo Valley, Ethiopia you have the chance to explore tribes that live like thousands of years ago. Nudity is something normal and the veil only protects this young woman from the sun.

I met Alice a few days ago on the streets of Timisoara, Romania where she was celebrating her high school graduation. She told me that the first years of school were terrible because of some bullies from her class. “You’re stupid” was the most common insult that she heard. She didn’t have self-esteem, she couldn’t focus on learning and her marks were really bad. After she started to ignore the bullies, her marks improved spectacularly and this year she was among the first at the National Mathematical Olympiad. I think most of the times, succeeding is more about confidence than about talent. We are all gifted in one way or another. We just have to see ourselves as we are, not as others tell us we are. #TheAtlasOfBeauty #Romania #Timisoara #AroundTheWorld #Graduation

I took this photo last year in the Wakhan Corridor, Afghanistan. She was working in the field in one of the most remote places of the world, a place where nature and people are beautiful but life is so harsh. The terrible conflicts that dominated Afghanistan for the past 40 years never reached her village but were always very close, taking from her any chance to have a better life. These days I’m in Iraqi Kurdistan, another amazing place of our planet with beautiful people that suffered so much because of the wars. If we could really see and appreciate the beauty of our planet, we could make it a much better place for everybody. #Afghanistan #Wakhan #AroundTheWorld #TheAtlasOfBeauty

Emma is from Cape Town, South Africa, where I met her some time ago. “I was about 6 years old. I remember being in our after school care program because my parents both worked late. The dance teacher came in and asked who'd like to start dancing and I said < Me! > " And that’s how Emma fell in love with dancing. When she was 13 years old, her parents couldn’t afford to pay the dancing course anymore so she had to quit. In the following years she felt that something was missing in her life. She could not listen to music without thinking about dancing. So she decided to put all her efforts into her passion. She got admitted to the Cape Academy of Performing Arts and started to practice dance hours after hours, every day. She was also working, to pay for the courses. Although she was exhausted at the end of each day, she was feeling complete and happy. After a while Emma started to have some pain on her neck. But her passion to dance was much stronger than the pain, so she didn’t pay attention to it. A few weeks ago the pain became worse and she went to see a doctor. That was a sad moment. The diagnosis made her realise that she cannot become a professional dancer. There are sometimes impassable obstacles on the way to our dreams. But at the end of every path, there’s the beginning of another one. We just have to keep hope alive, look around and see it. "I know I will still dance eventually, although just for fun!” says Emma. #TheAtlasOfBeauty #AroundTheWorld #SouthAfrica #CapeTown #Dance
