Photographers Capture the Unique Beauty of Albino People, and People Can’t Stop Loving Them
Throughout the centuries, albino people would envoke fear in others and have been exposed to social isolation due to their different appearance. Nowadays, albinos are more accepted and are becoming an important part of the fashion and art industries. Albinism can appear in any ethnic group and often attract the attention of photographers from different countries. Besides their looks, albino people grab people’s attention by being more fragile than those with normal pigmentation levels.
