The BeautifulYouth project is an ongoing artistic "photo-mentary" by the photographer Aquaria, and is focused on recording and displaying the beauty of youth.

Launched in 2001 with six models, BeautifulYouth has grown to include over 30 different young models, tracking their growth and changes from childhood through adolescence to early adulthood.

As a result of exposure through the BeautifulYouth project, our models have been chosen to appear in music videos, commercial print brochures, and have been considered for roles in independent films.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:

BeautifulYouth.com does not support the exploitation of children and youth. In today's society, there is a charged atmosphere surrounding the photography of minors.

Some photographic sites have stepped over the line between photography and the exploitation of children. These sites have created a 'bad apple' syndrome for photographers who choose to focus on the beauty of youth without resorting to pandering suggestive photos online.

Because of these inappropriate sites, honest and reputable sites such as BeautifulYouth have sustained a "black eye" and have been discriminated against by various commercial services.

We invite you to look at the BeautifulYouth site for what it is -a tribute to the aesthetic beauty of youth- and enjoy your stay.

If you have any questions or comments about the goals and philosophy of BeautifulYouth, we urge you to email us.
