Publication Year: 2013
Format: 304-page Illustrated Hardcover

Brandon Stanton's seminal work, 'Humans Of New York', captures the vibrant pulse of one of the world's most iconic cities through the lives of its inhabitants. Originating as a photography project in 2010, Stanton embarked on a mission to create an exhaustive photographic census of New York City, documenting its diverse population one person at a time.

This influential 2013 First Edition compiles a compelling selection of these street portraits, each accompanied by concise, often profound, excerpts from candid interviews. The book transcends simple photography, offering a rich tapestry of human experience, social observation, and urban sociology, making it a significant contribution to contemporary non-fiction.

• Candid Street Photography: Showcasing Stanton's distinctive approach to street photography, the volume features arresting portraits that capture the individuality and spirit of New Yorkers, ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
• Intimate Personal Narratives: Each photograph is paired with a snippet from the subject's life story, providing unique insights into their thoughts, struggles, joys, and philosophies, fostering a deep connection between the reader and the diverse individuals featured.
• A Sociological Portrait of NYC: Beyond individual stories, the collection collectively offers a vivid and multi-faceted sociological study of New York City, exploring themes of resilience, community, and the universal human condition within an urban landscape.

As the inaugural published collection from a project that became a global phenomenon, this 2013 First Edition holds particular appeal for collectors of photography, social science, and contemporary non-fiction. It stands as a powerful testament to the art of storytelling and the enduring fascination with the human spirit.
