Brandon Stanton

    1 maart 1984

    Brandon Stanton, de maker van de blog "Humans of New York", begon zijn artistieke reis vanuit een onconventionele achtergrond. Na een carrière in de financiële wereld ontdekte hij een passie voor verhalen vertellen via visuele media. Zijn aanpak combineert fotografie met authentieke menselijke verhalen, waarmee hij een aangrijpend mozaïek van diverse ervaringen creëert. Door zijn werk belicht hij alledaagse momenten en onthult hij de diepe emoties en unieke perspectieven van individuen die vaak over het hoofd worden gezien.

      1970s New York City: Go-go dancers, The Peppermint Lounge, gangsters, Billy’s Topless, and Stephanie Johnson…In 2019, Humans of New York featured a photo of a woman in an outrageous fur coat and hat she made herself. She instantly captured the attention of millions. Her name is Stephanie Johnson, but she’s better known to HONY followers as “Tanqueray,” the indefatigable woman who was once one of the best-known burlesque dancers in New York City. Brandon Stanton chronicled her life in the longest series he had yet posted on HONY, but, now, Stephanie Johnson—a woman as fabulous, unbowed, and irresistible as the city she lives in—tells all in Tanqueray, a book filled with never-before-told stories, personal photos from her own collection, and glimpses of New York City back in the day when the name “Tanqueray” was on everyone’s lips.

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. It has appeared on that list for over twenty-five weeks to date. The appeal of HONY has been so great that in the course of the next year Brandon's following increased tenfold to, now, over 12 million followers on Facebook. In the summer of 2014, the UN chose him to travel around the world on a goodwill mission that had followers meeting people from Iraq to the Ukraine to Mexico City via the photos he took.Now, Brandon is back with the follow up to Humans of New York that his loyal followers have been waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories.
