30 Stunning Photographs That Capture The World In Faces

One planet, hundreds of countries, billions of people, yet one diverse but unified world. We are surrounded by art, each face that we see is a masterpiece, the world is indeed a humongous art gallery. But seldom do we stop, examine, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. We shun the dark skinned, make fun of the browns and tan the whites. We create divisions and then submit to discrimination based on those divisions. But not anymore! Prepare to be exposed to an entirely different view of the people around the world. These spectacular photographs by photographer Alexander Khimushin as a part of his project "The World in Faces" will make you appreciate the diversity in cultures and unveil the beauty in it.

Aren't these portraits of ordinary yet extraordinary people around the world absolutely amazing?

STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT
There are hundreds of unique ethnic minority groups in the world. These people are just incredible. However due to globalisation, economic hardship, wars, racism and religious discrimination, many of them are living on the edge, losing national identity, language, traditions and in many cases facing total extinction. Watching it all happening before my eyes I came up with an idea of the photo project The World in Faces.

ABOUT THE WORLD IN FACES
The idea is simple. I want to show diversity of the world we are all living in by taking portraits of its incredible people. If we all realise how unique and amazing we, the people, are, we will care more about each other, be more tolerant to people of another ethnicity, religion and culture. I have been taking portraits for this project for the last two years and plan to continue. My dream is to take portraits of people of all ethnic minorities of the world and publish a photo book about them, raising awareness of issues they're facing today
