When photographer Yulia Taits posted her hypnotizing photo series that capture the beauty of Albino people, it inspired us to look further and find more people with Albinism.
As you may already know, Albinism is a rare condition which results in the absence of pigment in hair, eyes, and skin. However, it's not only the appearance, though, the Albinos often suffer from vision problems and sometimes even blindness. These issues can lead to isolation, making the works of artists like Yulia even more important. "Their unique beauty hypnotizes me," - says Yulia and we couldn't agree more.
Humans with Albinism often face some difficulties being ridiculed and discriminated. In some African regions, albino women might even be associated with witchcraft. And though many famous artists and models suffer from this condition, the International Albinism Awareness Day, celebrated on June 13th, adds much-needed attention to this cause.
