That’s the focus of “On Beauty,” a documentary that kicks off the third annual ReelAbilities film festival on Thursday that chronicles photographer Rick Guidotti’s exploration of human perceptions of beauty. Following 15 years as a successful fashion photographer, Mr. Guidotti began focusing on a different type of beauty, triggered by the chance sighting at a bus stop of a tall and lithe woman with albinism, a genetic condition that results in little or no production of the pigment melanin in the skin, hair and eyes.
