Mihaela Noroc is a 31 year old photographer born in 1985 in Bucharest, Romania. She specializes her style in portrait and documentary photography. She spent the last four years traveling around the world to different countries to capture the beautiful people she saw. Although her father is a painter, she did not discover photography until she was 16 years old. Unfortunately, in the first years of her photography career she could not make a well enough living, so she had to work in other fields other than photography in order to make a decent income. Later on, when she was 27 she quit her "ordinary life" in Bucharest and put all of her efforts and savings into travel and photography. Although The Atlas of Beauty became very popular she still backpack travels and continues to find and explore "the unnoticed beauty which lies in people around us."
