Photographer captures people’s reactions when told they are beautiful

A photographer conducted a social experiment to see what happens when you tell someone they are beautiful.

The 18-year-old student from Chicago, Shea Glover, asked random people to pose for her and said to them, “I’m taking pictures of things I find beautiful.”

“I conducted an independent project which evidently turned into a social experiment regarding beauty. 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,” she added.
