Natural Beauty

Beauty is everywhere and in everyone. Photojournalist Anna Walker takes pictures of students around campus that she may otherwise pass by on any other day. In this photography project, she takes time to remind people of their beauty and photograph it to share it with Scroll readers.

NATURAL BEAUTY

By Anna Walker

Accepting yourself on an outward level is hard for many and, with the influence of social media, it is hard to truly love who you are. Many people know the phrase "Beauty comes from within," which is completely true. Feeling confident about who you are on the outside can also affect a person in many ways. A lack of confidence can make a person not able to speak up or state a point, rendering them helpless to failure or heartache. People should all try to build confidence and self-esteem.

Forget about the conventional view of beauty. Look in the mirror and hype yourself up. You look great! And, finally, smile. A smile suits everyone. To spread our idea of positivity and self-confidence, we walked around and found people we thought were beautiful... in many different ways.

*All students in photos consented to being photographed.*

While taking pictures around the school Anna also asked what everybody's favorite winter activity is.
