About the Book

A global photographic phenomenon that chronicles the stories of people from every corner of the world, transcending borders and connecting us all.

From street photographer Brandon Stanton, Humans is a book that connects readers as global citizens at a time when erecting more borders is the order of the day. After five years of travelling the globe, the creator of Humans of New York brings people from all parts of the world into a conversation with readers, presenting beautiful photographs alongside stories from their lives.

Ignoring borders, this book chronicles lives and shows us the faces of the world. From London, Paris and Rome to Iraq, Dubai, Ukraine, Pakistan, Jordan, Uganda, Vietnam, Israel and every other place in between, these interviews go deeper than ever before.

Including hundreds of photos and stories of people Brandon met and talked with in over forty countries, Humans is a full colour illustrated book that includes never-before-seen material and several of Stanton's essays, which – like his photography – have been loved and shared by his followers worldwide. Described by the Washington Post as ''one of the most influential art projects of the decade'', this is a must-have book for photography enthusiasts and anyone interested in the human experience.
