Behind those stacks of newspapers, children’s magazines and packs of figurines, it is difficult to see the newsagents and newsagents in their faces. Accomplice to the cramped space and plexiglass windows the figures who give us newspapers every day always appear a bit in the shadows, enclosed in 3 square meters in which everything seems to fit together with incredible balance.
Photographer Trevor Traynor in his series “Newsstands” focused precisely on the faces of these figures, portrayed in front of or directly inside their newsstands. It is a series that began in 2012, using only an iPhone 4s and concluded seven years later, with an iPhone 11 Promax.
Trevor Traynor not only photographed the newsstands in his city, but as a great explorer he traveled through 20 cities around the world, from the United States to Egypt and Japan.
The work also turned into a series of 100 NFTs and a physical event set up in Los Angeles.
You can see the entire series on the photographer’s Instagram profile and official website.
