Humans of New York

A Number One New York Times bestselling photography book.

Meet the everyday residents of New York. From acclaimed street photographer Brandon Stanton, Humans of New York is a celebration of individuality and a tribute to the spirit of New York City, filled with photographs of its residents and stories from their lives.

The Humans of New York project began when photographer Brandon Stanton set out on an ambitious task: to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he began crisscrossing the city, capturing ordinary New Yorkers in the most extraordinary of moments. The result of these efforts was a vibrant, life-affirming blog featuring his photos alongside quotes from his subjects, and which has gathered millions of devoted followers.

Humans of New York expands on Stanton's project with exclusive portraits and over 400 colour photos. It is full of honest, heartwarming and fundamentally human stories of love, loss, success and failure.
