THE MISSION

Started by Thomas Nguyen and quickly spreading to the around the country, Project Beauty began with the goal of redefining what true beauty really is and how beauty is portrayed on social media. So often we are bombarded with imagery of what society perceives as beautiful. While this culture has always been around, social media has only amplified this effect and it has put this in the forefront of our daily lives. With Project Beauty, our goal is to bring natural, true beauty to the forefront of everyone’s social media and bring attention to the fact that we do not need to look a certain way in order to be accepted by our peers and fit in.

My mission: redefine how beauty is depicted on social media and to photograph women with no makeup and no retouching. The result are images that allow these women to walk away feeling more confident, empowered than before and showcase what true beauty really is.
