Photographer Spotlight: Jodi Cobb

I learned about Jodi Cobb through a brochure about upcoming events at the Broad Stage. Next to her name was this fabulous photo of a bedecked Miss Hawaii:

I found that this was part of a project she undertook to photograph beauty and perceptions of beauty around the world. She went to 10 countries on 6 continents "to explore cultural notions of beauty and attraction." Here are a few others from the same series:

Aren't those something?

She also did a book on Geishas.
