How would you react to being called beautiful?
Shea Glover, 18, from Chicago, captured 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 Ms 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.
“I conducted an independent project, which evidently turned into a social experiment halfway through, regarding beauty at my performing arts high school in Chicago.
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 it is.”

Wow its sad that one girl got so hostile. Others were disbelieving. I loved that most people smiled & said thank you. It made them even more beautiful in my eyes.

a beautiful and important video which shows how difficult and emotional it can be to accept a compliment and kindness. The girl who reacted hostile made me think how little she must have experienced of it to react in this way.
