is awash with photographs of attractive people,
and with programs such as Photoshop, I am always a bit suspicious when I see a photograph of someones photographs where the model is exhibiting 2 unusual traits, firstly heterochromia, which is a difference in the coloration of the iris, determined by the
production, delivery, and concentration of pigmentation (melanin),
secondly albinism, which is generally described as the “congenital absence of any pigmentation
or coloration in a person, resulting in white hair and skin, as mentioned I get a tad suspicious,
both
albinism and heterochromia are rarely diagnosed in humans by themselves, but
even more so together,
but it is true, this young lady has both conditions, despite
getting a lot of attention on Russian social media over the last five months,
Amina Ependieva remains a very mysterious figure. Discovered by Chechen
photographer Amina Arsakova, the 11-year-old made quite an impression when
photos were posted on Arsakova’s Instagram account, Her post usually received
about 1,000 likes on average, but the photos of Ependieva received over 10,000
likes, and hundreds of comments either praising her unearthly beauty or asking
if she was a real person, photographs Amina

11-year-old
Amina Ependieva, “My search
for beauty was once again successful,” Amina Arsakova captioned one of the
photos of this unique-looking teen, and people unanimously agreed, according
to Russian outlet Sm-News, Ependieva hails from Kurchaloy, a small town in
Chechnya, and owes her stunning beauty to a combination of rare genetic
conditions – albinism and heterochromia, Amina
Arsakova published the photos of Ependieva in January of 2020, and they quickly
went viral on Russian social media. While most users praised the 11-year-old’s
unusual beauty, some accused the photographer of using Photoshop to
artificially create the combination of albinism and heterochromia, but Amina is a real person, it’s
worth mentioning that Instagram users claiming to be from Kurchaloy and to know
the young girl personally have commented that she is even more beautiful in
real life, I see a trip to some of the great fashion houses as a model in Amina's future!
