About

“Somewhere along the way, I began to interview my subjects in addition to photographing them. And alongside their portraits, I’d include quotes and short stories from their lives.”

Taken together, these portraits and captions became the subject of a vibrant blog. HONY now has over twenty million followers on social media, and provides a worldwide audience with daily glimpses into the lives of strangers on the streets of New York City. 

Over the past five years, it has also expanded to feature stories from over twenty different countries.  The work is also featured in two bestselling books: Humans of New York and Humans of New York: Stories.
