Perhaps nothing makes us feel beautiful when a stranger reminds us that we are. Because when someone tells us that "we look beautiful," we feel like we have been desired and truly loved by this world.

Shea Glover, 18, from Chicago, recorded the reactions of friends, fellow students and faculty as they were told she found them beautiful. The subjects, some of whom she knew, but most of whom she did not, had been told that Glover would take a picture of them for a project.

But they did not know what the project was until they were stood in front of the camera. See their various reactions.
