A New York Times number-one bestseller, Humans of New York began in the summer of 2010 when photographer Brandon Stanton embarked on an ambitious project: to create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he started traversing the city, covering thousands of miles on foot, all in an effort to capture ordinary New Yorkers in their most extraordinary moments. The result of these efforts was Humans of New York, a vibrant blog where he showcased his photos alongside quotes and anecdotes. The blog steadily grew, amassing millions of devoted followers. Humans of New York is the book inspired by the blog. With four hundred color photos, including exclusive portraits and brand-new stories, as well as a distinctive vellum cover, it is an impressive collection of images that will appeal not only to those drawn to the extraordinary personalities of New York but also to anyone interested in the stunning spectrum of humanity it depicts. Warm and moving, Humans of New York is a celebration of individuality and a tribute to the spirit of a city.
