Anyone who is familiar with the blog "Humans of New York" will understand what to expect here: a nice, sincere, funny and inspiring collection of photographs and stories that capture the spirit of New York. In 2010, Stanton started to create a photographic census of New York City.

armed with his camera, he began to cross the city and to cover thousands of kilometers on foot, everything in the attempt to capture the New Yorker and their stories. The result is not necessarily characterized by photography, but by the amusing, touching stories that they accompany.

2. Before you die of Jimmy Nelson

A book full of high -rise buildings may not sound like a great photo project, but the collection of Michael Wolf exudes such a dark beauty that it still reverberates.

The result is breathtaking and sobering, frightening and in awe.
