Project Beauty 2021, despite COVID-19’s disruptions, captured the essence of its senior participants, pushing past traditional beauty standards. These teens were photographed without makeup, urged to share personal beauty insights, redefining beauty as confidence, character, and inner light, rather than perfection.
As we bid farewell to the 2019 Senior class, LPJ Photography reflects fondly on their cap and gown moments, drawing inspiration from Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” a favored graduation gift and guiding wisdom for future endeavors.
Project Beauty aims to redefine beauty beyond societal expectations of perfection, emphasizing inherent worth and unique qualities. Photographer Lymarie captures her Senior Team’s natural essence, fostering self-acceptance through black and white portraits without makeup or retouching, alongside their reflections on true beauty’s internal nature.
