Humans of New York: Stories
'An instant publishing phenomenon' – The New York Times
Welcome back to New York.
Humans of New York creator Brandon Stanton returns to the streets of the city, with a collection of stunning photographs and life-affirming stories from the lives of ordinary, yet extraordinary New Yorkers.
The Humans of New York project began when acclaimed street photographer Brandon set out on an ambitious task – to single-handedly create a photographic census of the Big Apple. Gaining millions of followers online, the photos he took and the accompanying interviews became his first book, the New York Times bestselling Humans of New York.
In Humans of New York: Stories, Brandon presents more moving portraits of a different group of inspirational people, complete with stunning colour photographs and stories that delve deeper into their fascinating lives. Funny, heartwarming, moving and real, they showcase the full spectrum of emotion found in every corner of the city.
Let Brandon be your guide as you journey into the soul of New York and the astonishing stories of the people who call it home.
