Beauty behold.

“The most beautiful people in the world”, the photo project, is soon going to be performed in Beijing, the capital of China.

The concept of “The most beautiful people in the world” is simple: people are asked a question.
The question is: “Do you think you are the most beautiful person in the world?”
This intriguing question is asked in announcements in newspapers, on local websites, on posters all over a town.
Or by simply going around in a small village and asking.

It is also explained it concerns an art-project and who is responsible for the project.
People who do believe they are the most beautiful, whatever that may mean, are requested to send a letter or e-mail in which they need to explain why they are the most beautiful together with one or more pictures of themselves.

Until now “The most beautiful people in the world” has been performed in 8 countries:
Mexico, the United States, Namibia, Spain, France, Poland, Iran and Brazil.

Each time it has been an incredible experience.
The most surprising aspect of “The most beautiful people in the world” is that almost 90 % of the people, who respond and make them themselves candidates, are not speaking of physical beauty.
They explain they feel beautiful inside.
In their hearts, in their minds, in their souls.
Consequently, all those people are very remarkable individuals.
Intriguing and impressing personalities.

They are visited in their homes and usually at least half a day is spend with them.
Getting to know them, socialising and being influenced by their beauty.
Eventually photographing and interviewing them.

Another fabulous part of “The most beautiful people in the world” is the collaboration with the national teams.
Because in order to perform the project in each country people have been found who created a team organizing the logistics.
All those team members believed strongly and passionately in “The most beautiful people in the world”.
They always made it into an extraordinary experience.

These days a team in Beijing, China, is preparing to have “The most beautiful people in the world” performed.
And once more, it is a mind-blowing experience to work with people who are elated about the project and on this occasion with Chinese persons.
It is a team that is having on the one hand a great love and sharp eye for good photography and who are on the other hand great entrepreneurs.
Very expansive and energetic.

After China “The most beautiful people in the world” will be performed in India and a contact is developing there as well.
Also a very remarkable and wonderful experience.

After “The most beautiful people in the world” has been performed in all of the 10 countries, a new stage will start.
This is the production and publication of the coffee table photo book in different languages distributed worldwide.
This will happen out of Paris, France.

But first, let’s go and meet the most beautiful persons in China.
