This project captured a glimpse of lives of many different individuals at Hopkinton High School. Our group was inspired by Humans Of New York a well known blog, created by Brandon Stanton. Stanton has captured many intricate images describing the lives of strangers he has met. Many viewers have been intrigued by the way the simple images he has captured can display a great amount of emotion. His blog quickly gained attention. Inspired by Humans of New York, we decided to photograph Humans of HHS. The photos describe the different lives of many individuals at Hopkinton High. From a simple image, the viewer can witness a sense of emotion and know more about that one individual. We interviewed students and staff all over Hopkinton High School and found many interesting stories and life experiences of the people we interviewed. We realized how talented many individuals are, and we grew to know more individuals from our communities and find out more from their lives.
When taking these photographs, we wanted to display a natural setting similar to Humans of New York. Humans of HHS captures some of the many individuals at Hopkinton and what makes the high school what it is today. As individuals we now know more about our high school and the incredible people with amazing stories that are a part of HHS.
