35 Beautiful Women With Vitiligo Shot By A Photographer Who Has The Same Condition

3 "I have photographed women from all over the world who come in all kinds of shapes and colors, " Elisabeth said. "The ages differ from 20 to 50 years old. For them, this experience wasn’t only a way of expressing themselves creatively. It has also been incredibly therapeutic. About 90% of them hadn’t been in front of a camera. They really stepped out of their comfort zone. It feels very rewarding that the photoshoot contributed to their self-confidence. For many women I have portrayed, it was a process of healing and acceptance. It is wonderful that there is such a big community on social media which has made me able to connect with all these beautiful individuals. It has been such a positive journey, for me and for the ones I portrayed."

So far, there's no known way to prevent or cure the condition. Doctors usually offer to improve the appearance of affected skin with cosmetics and corticosteroid creams. Other common solutions include re-pigmenting the white skin using UV light therapy or lightening the skin in unaffected areas or a skin graft.
