HONY SOAPStone

               Humans of New York is created by photographer Brandon Stanton. The occasion for Stanton starting HONY is he Stanton was unemployed so he moved to New York and started taking pictures of people and getting their stories. Stanton's audience is people from all over the world. All of his pictures are posted on different forms of social media and are available all over the world. He has even traveled and taken pictures of people in different countries and many people have asked him to come to their country. His audience is people who use the different forms of social media all over the world. The purpose of HONY is to show that everyone is unique and has their own story. When he does his work he takes portraits of people and then talks to them and listens to their story. The subject of his piece is the people of New York, city he is in, or the country he is in. Currently he has been doing lots of photos of refugees from countries such as Syria. The tone of HONY is informational. Stanton is informing people about the unique story of all the individuals that he photographs.
