Since 2013 photographer Mihaela Noroc travels the world photographing everyday women with one goal: To showcase that beauty has no bounds, and that the diversity of our world is a treasure, not a reason for conflicts.

Photography was introduced to Australia in the 1840s, but technological limitations meant that images were shot on glass plates which took 12 hours to develop in the sun. In the 1840’s and 50s, Australia’s photographers were mainly from the US or Europe and travelled around the nation selling portraits to those who could afford it.
