Albino people are often unfortunately as social rejects or misfits – think “The Da Vinci Code” and “Matrix Reloaded.” But one photographer is shattering that stereotype in a beautiful photo series.
Yulia Taits, 38, from Moscow, photographed a series titled “Porcelain Beauty” featuring people with albinism — a disorder that causes the complete or
partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes.
“Their beauty is so pure and amazing to me, as if it was taken from fantasies and fairytale legends,” she wrote on Bored Panda.
“As an artist, I love using Photoshop to create fantasy worlds, but this series was made without Photoshop which was a big challenge for me.”
All of Taits’s photo subjects were dressed in white and were photographed against light backgrounds with white props.
“I wanted to prove that white is not just one colour! It has many tints, shades and beautiful tones.”
