Faces of New York

The photographer Simon Hogsberg did a photo project called Faces of New York. He photographed 10 New Yorkers and ask them how they thought about their face. It is a beautiful project.

Hogsberg's Artist Statement clues us in the to the aim behind this project.

Faces of New York

Once in a while I see a person on the street who immediately attracts my attention. I’m fascinated by the appearance of the person and feel a strong urge to walk over and say hi. I spent one month, seven hours a day, walking the streets of New York in search for people who had this effect on me. I found ten, and asked each of them the same question: What do you think about your face?
