Fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski was inspired to create this book, which represents diverse beauty without boundaries, after photographing the actress Lupita Nyong’o. Lubomirski was so impressed by Nyong’o’s natural beauty that he felt she didn’t need studio lighting because she radiated light from within. After shooting her, it struck him that he rarely had the chance to photograph beautiful women with a range of different “looks” for professional assignments. Often when he submitted a list of models he was interested in shooting, responses would be along the lines of “We love her, but...”, “Her hair is a problem...”, “She is too dark.” In response, Lubomirski conceived 'Diverse Beauty', which celebrates many different types of female beauty through sophisticated and lively fashion photographs. 'Diverse Beauty' embraces all beauty and aims to put every type of beauty on a pedestal, so that everyone who looks at it, no matter her race, size, color, or sexual orientation, can identify and see herself as beautiful.

Alexi Lubomirski was born in England to a Peruvian mother and a Polish father. His serious interest in photography developed whilst traveling in Peru during a gap year at college. His interest later shifted from social commentary to narrative based, fashion photography during his studies at the University of Brighton, in the UK. It was shortly after finishing his studies that he was introduced to Mario Testino, with whom he assisted for the next four years whilst living between Paris and London. Since then Lubomirski has become an established name within the fashion industry with an impressive client list, shooting for such publications as Harper’s Bazaar US, Harper’s Bazaar UK, German Vogue, Russian Vogue, Spanish Vogue, GQ USA, Chinese Vogue, Vogue Nippon, China Mens Vogue and Wonderland.
