HUMANS OF NEW YORK
Originally aired on ABC News | Nightline
Producer | Director | Cinematographer
Before Humans of New York became a global phenomenon, Brandon Stanton was walking the streets of New York City stopping strangers and pairing their portraits with intimate fragments of their lives.
This Nightline story follows Stanton through the city as he documents the people who give New York its character, exploring how a simple photography project evolved into an extraordinary portrait of human connection.
The piece marked the first national television profile of Humans of New York and was Bill Weir’s final story for Nightline before leaving ABC News for CNN.
