Photographer Brandon Stanton Raises $1 Million+ for Brooklyn School Through Portraits

Photographer Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York has become one of the most influential photo projects in the world since it launched back in November 2010. Tens of millions of people follow Stanton as he shoots portraits of people on the street and shares the images online with their stories.
