‘Humans of New York’ photographer captures intimate Met Gala moments

By Lindsey Robertson From Mashable

Finding moments of truth at a celebrity event can be like finding a needle in a haystack — but that’s exactly what Brandon Stanton did.

Stanton, the photographer behind the popular blog “Humans of New York,” took his talents for capturing down-to-earth and personal moments to the 2015 Met Gala. Amidst the sea of celebrities and their hangers-on, Stanton’s photos (along with their captions) encapsulated those little details that make even the most glamorous of partygoers seem surprisingly human.

It seems like everyone (including Katy Perry) had a small moment of reality to share with Stanton.

You can see more of Stanton’s portraits on his blog and Facebook, and more of his Met Gala shots in Vogue magazine.
