Every day new social experiments seem to be taking place all over the world. While the intention behind some is to poke fun and others to test our humanity, more and more continue to surface that end up offering some very inspirational results. The most recent one that I happened to come across was conducted by Shea Glover, an 18 year old high school student from Chicago, Illinois.
Equipped with her camera, Shea stopped
random individuals and got them to pose in front of her lens telling
them “I’m taking pictures of things I find beautiful.” The end result?
Some of the most humbling and genuine moments of how much of an impact
being complimented can have on our state of being.
Through her YouTube channel, Shea clarified her true intentions behind what turned into a social experiment:
I want to clarify that my intentions were not to get a reaction out of people. I was simply filming beauty and this is the result.
Here are a series of still images from the shoot:
