One Thousand Portraits From Barcelona

By Alex in Art, Travel on Jul 20, 2009 at 1:10 am

Earlier this year, photographers Eamon Lane and Carlo Nicora spent one weekend to photograph one thousand people (Flickr) on the streets of London. They asked the same question more than 1,500 times and succeeded in capturing an image an average of every 40 seconds.

Now, Gerard Franquesa and Sergi López Graells took the idea to Barcelona (Flickr, first image NSFW in a WTF kind of way, though – you’ve been warned) in hope that the idea will then spread to other cities around the world).

It’s kind of like people watching from the comfort of your own home: LinkThanks Gerard!

    It should be mentioned that if you go to their Flickr page, it is definitely NSFW. And just remember that some things cannot be unseen.

    Why do half the pictures look like the next image would involve a fist or weapon coming at the camera?

    Very cool! I’ve been looking for something like this for the past two years! I counted the number of attractive people (to me) and the result comes out to around 6%. It doesn’t mean anything, but I thought it was interesting.

    If I had known this beforehand, I would definitely have walked around the streets much more…
