Fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski was inspired to create this book, which represents diverse beauty without boundaries, after photographing the actress Lupita Nyong’o. Lubomirski was so impressed by Nyong’o’s natural beauty that he felt she didn’t need studio lighting because she radiated light from within. After shooting her, it struck him that he rarely had the chance to photograph beautiful women with a range of different “looks” for professional assignments. Often when he submitted a list of models he was interested in shooting, responses would be along the lines of “We love her, but...”, “Her hair is a problem...”, “She is too dark.” In response, Lubomirski conceived 'Diverse Beauty', which celebrates many different types of female beauty through sophisticated and lively fashion photographs.
