  Where do you find beauty? Fashion Magazines?Music Videos? One American photographer isfinding beauty in unexpected places. And a newdocumentary about his work might help changethe traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.

  Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people livingwith genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception ofbeauty was a chance encounter with an albino girl.

  "I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would changebut I was always told who was beautiful. And as an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers onmagazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial - that opened my eyes a little wider andwider," said Guidotti.

  Guidotti has created “Positive Exposure, “ a not-for-profit organization that uses photographyand video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences arecelebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called OnBeauty.

  The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. Oneof the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.

  "I never spoke about my condition, I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said thatto me but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took mypicture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me forwho I am and who sees me more than my condition," said Waithera.

  The documentary is the brainchild of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick’s photos, shedecided to tell his story.

  “Rick has been way ahead of us for years and we’re just catching up to him. We can no longerlive within this confine. It’s boring and it’s discriminatory. It’s exclusionary and there’s justtoo much sadness around that, and there’s no room for growth. It’s time to explode that,"said Rudnick.

  Joanna and Rick are travelling from city to city to promote On Beauty. They say their tour isnot about money, it’s about the message:

  "As we travel from community to community we're taking photographs and we're empoweringindividuals with a powerful sense ot who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection butwe're also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their commuunities aswell. All based on the philosophy of change - how you see, how you change," said Guidotti.

  On Beauty is currently screening in Los Angeles and New York City.
