May we have five minutes of your time?\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe are Sanne and Nathalie and we are senior high school students living in The Netherlands. For our final research project we have chosen the topic how different cultures perceive the ideal beauty. A part of our research includes how various cultures view the idea of beauty and the part photography and photo manipulation play in this idealism. In general, how do different photographers use the same subject to satisfactorily represent their cultural idea of beauty. \r\n The Dutch magazine, Linda, ran an article on this subject. To get an idea of where we are heading we have attached several links to the article.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[login to view URL]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe are requesting the same idea from different photographers all over the world. You may change everything you want. Like our hair-, eye- and skincolor, but you may add accessories as well. Although we understand that something like this takes time and time is money, we cannot pay for this service. We will however spread the results via social media and your name will be attached to your work. You may use the photos for your own portfolio as well. The photos are made by a professional photographer. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. If you can help us please replay to this email as soon as possible. The photos are added in the attachment. Thanks in advance!\r\n\r\nKind regards,\r\n Sanne and Nathalie \r\n
I am an experienced photographer and, more importantly, image retoucher. I have worked for high-end/celebrity retouching firm in Los Angeles. I retouched celebrity wedding photos basically. ;-) I currently live in Sweden and would be happy to help you guys out.

Hello there. I'm a freelance graphic designer and photographer. Working on flexible hours and available immediately. Hoping for your kind consideration. Goodluck.
I'm from South Africa and although I believe my idea of beauty is very much along western ideals, I do think what you're doing is an interesting project.
