 As we become more beauty conscious than ever before, we are all guilty of making judgements about people based on their appearance.
But what about those who are disabled, or have a facial disfigurement - a celebrity obsessed society striving towards physical perfection seems at cross purposes with accepting difference.
Sharmani Selvarajah visits a new photography exhibition Shifting Perspectives and talks to two of the photographers involved, Fiona Fields, Katye Brimacomb and Ellen Goodie, who is one of the subjects and has Downs Syndrome.
Jenni is joined in the studio by Victoria Lucas, adviser for Changing Faces, who has the condition cherubism and Amanda Hopkinson from Cardiff University to discuss whether we are now any better at accepting disability.
The 'Shifting Perspectives' exhibition runs from 7 November until 12 December, Monday-Friday 9am-8pm, at London Metropolitan University, Sir John Cass Dept of Art Media & Design, Central House, Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7PF. Tel: 020 7320 1970.
