Humans of New York: Stories

 

　　2010年的夏天，攝影師Brandon Stanton立志以「人物攝影」為民族大熔爐──紐約市做人口普查。揹上相機，這趟不凡的旅程便從他的足下開始。



　　Stanton穿梭在紐約大街小巷、地鐵巴士間，以一己之力真實記錄街頭不同種族、膚色、年紀與文化背景的紐約客，他將每天捕捉的畫面，上傳至「Humans of New York」部落格及臉書粉絲團，並為每張照片留下有趣且深刻的引言、對話或趣聞軼事，豐富的圖文內容讓人目不暇給，每幅作品就像短篇小說般耐人尋味，目前全球已近一千五百萬人在臉書關注「Humans of New York」攝影計畫，還在世界各大城市吹起仿效風，紛紛推出城市人物攝影網誌。



　　Stanton前一本攝影作品《Humans of New York》便是延伸部落格的概念，深受廣大讀者迴響，而他這本第三本著作 《Humans of New York: Stories》上市前即盤踞攝影暢銷書榜，內容延續前作風格，肖像攝影搭配動人故事，只是這次挖掘的故事更深。（文/博客來編譯）

Now a #1 New York Times Bestseller In the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began an ambitious project -to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. The photos he took and the accompanying interviews became the blog Humans of New York. His audience steadily grew from a few hundred followers to, at present count, over eighteen million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog, was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times Bestseller List where it has appeared for over forty-five weeks. Now, Brandon is back with the Humans of New York book that his loyal followers have been waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories. Ever since Brandon began interviewing people on the streets of New York, the dialogue he's had with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories presents a whole new group of people in stunning photographs, with a rich design and, most importantly, longer stories that delve deeper and surprise with greater candor. Let Brandon Stanton and the Humans of New York he's photographed astonish you all over again.
