A first of its kind, the Humans of New York photo blog proved to be an inspiration for many similar spin off pages. The Facebook page has over 17.5 million followers and features photos and short descriptions of everyday people, photographed by founder Brandon Stanton. The blog has grown over the years to be quite a success and is now set to premiere a series on Facebook’s video platform, which is called Facebook Watch.
Though it originated in New York, HONY became a window into the lives of people across the world, as Brandon traveled to various countries (including Pakistan!) doing what he does. The blog has received high acclaim and has also brought on two New York Times best-selling books.
The show will debut next week, with episodes to be released weekly, and will include interviews from over 1,200 interviews from over 400 days of filming.
Following their Facebook page has always been fun, and from the looks of the trailer the series looks insightful. Watch it here and tell us what you think.
