British photographer Alex John Beck explores the principles of human perception of beauty. Among the collections of his photo appeared a curious collection of symmetrical faces. The images are shown for comparison, face left and right have perfect proportions and according to the canons of physical assessment - beautiful. But if we perceive them as they should? And then where beauty? In the eye of the beholder? In general, depending on how you look!

However, there is another study that says that you will not hide yourself, and left halves of the face will look more unpleasant than the right, because the more difficult to exploring the inner and the outer mask is easier.
