Portraits Underground is a photographic project that documents the people of New York City’s subway system. The series captures the raw humanity that surfaces in this shared urban space — commuters lost in thought, workers heading home, performers, strangers brushing past one another. Each image reflects a fleeting story, a small fragment of life that might otherwise go unnoticed in the rush of the city. Taken together, these portraits create a collective record of the underground: a place where millions of individual lives cross paths every day, revealing the diversity, resilience, and quiet poetry of NYC.
