黑龙江牡丹江五县2018-2019学年高二下学期英语期末考试联考试卷
Two years ago, photographer Gen started his latest project visiting local communities in Latin America. The photo that gave birth to his "You are beautiful "project was entirely unplanned.
In January 2017, Gen was in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. He had been trying to get his female subject to feel more comfortable before his camera, and when a request for her to smile didn't quite work, he found himself telling her she was beautiful. The result of his shot was so sincere and heartwarming that he decided he had found the concept of his new project. Gen is still on his journey to capture the power of this compliment (赞美). The photos he's already published on his website, however, show the unbelievable effect these simple words can have.
When asked to have her photo taken, Mathilda from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, said, "I don't have any teeth. Please don't make me laugh. "After being told she was beautiful, she didn't seem to mind anymore. She and I laughed a lot. It was a nice moment, " Gen said.
Margarita was selling fruit on a street in Otavalo, Ecuador , when Gen approached her. She agreed to pose for a picture after the photographer bought some of her fruit, but still didn't smile when he asked her to. Her smile was genuine, though, when she heard the compliment.
Gen met Juliana in a village in northern Colombia where desert meets the Caribbean Sea. The region is extremely dry, with some months seeing almost no rain, and Juliana wore a mask to protect her face from the sun. She was selling handicrafts when Gen approached her, and smiled happily when she received the compliment.
Mimba and baby Maya are from Brazil's Marubo tribe. Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo. She seemed to relax, though, when he paid her a compliment.
