An exhibit at Los Angeles' Annenberg Space for Photography called Beauty Culture opened recently, attracting models, actresses and the aesthetics-conscious to view photos that demonstrate the many shades of beauty as well as the ugly side of the modeling industry.
Beauty Culture includes everything from portraits that feature glowing African American skin, to frighteningly thin models, to teens being measured at weight loss camp, according to the Vancouver Sun.
The source reports that the exhibit also offers documentary screenings to accompany about 500 photos. Beauty Culture demonstrates the wide range of beauty, including models and actresses of all ethnic skin tones, to emphasize that grace comes in all shades and sizes.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the exhibit drew in many famous faces, including model Alek Wek and actresses Halle Berry and Sophia Bush.
“I think it’s so great we’re celebrating so many different perspectives on what is beautiful,” Bush said, quoted by the news source.
Beauty Culture, which features the work of about 100 photographers, is scheduled to run until November.
