Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic,physical and behavioral differences.

He says what shifted his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病) girl.“I was just fed up with people telling me who was beautiful.Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful.As an artist,I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines.I see it everywhere.So that was my initial intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.”

Guidotti has created Positive Exposure,a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.

One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me,but my meeting him was my profound moment.I remember that particular day.He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition,” said Waithera.

Guidotti is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty.He says his tour is not about money but about the message:“As I travel from community to community,I’m taking photographs and I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are.They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well.All is based on the philosophy of change—how you see,see how you change.”
