Peter Funch

This week I stumbled upon Peter Funch the Danish photojournalist who lives in NYC. I want to share with you his Babel Tales series which are just beautifully composed photo stories of urban life in the city.


In order to create these 29 images, he spent two weeks standing on street corners of NYC - Broadway and Prince Street in Soho and downtown on Chambers Street - taking pictures of passers by. Later he sorted them into themes and photoshopped them into sets so that they tell a story eg black outfits and white (almost angelic outfits); yawners; smokers; children; guys in uniform; everyone on their mobile phones etc. Even though a lot of effort has gone into the final images, I really love the concept and they work really well together. Here are my favourites:
