The photographer behind blog Humans of New York (Hony) has taken his social documenting to another level by partnering with the United Nations to shine a light on untold stories from various nooks of the world and his first stop? Iraq.
Hony's founder and sole photographer Brandon Stanton touched down last week, just as Islamist militants advanced in the north of the Middle Eastern country, as they seized towns and became the target of US air strikes following the persecution of the Christian and Yazidi populations.
But as the United States deliberated over the implications of arming Kurdish fighters against the progressing Isis assault, Stanton was out, armed with just his camera, photographing civilians caught up in the raging violence.
He is at the start of a 50-day tour of the world, "gathering portraits and stories [with the purpose of raising] awareness for the [UN's] Millennium Development Goals," he said.
Stanton – who usually takes pictures of unwitting New Yorkers, asking them deeply personal questions about their regrets or aspirations (resulting in oft-poetic responses) – first visited Erbil, the capital city of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region, which is at the centre of concern that Isis could eventually claim it.
The recent developments in Iraq have been a surprise to the organisers of the long-planned trip, and threw up challenges for the photographer, who in collaboration with the UN had intended to capture the lives of the Iraqi people removed from the war-torn environs many people in the West associate them with.
Stanton told The Independent that it provided him with "probably the most tragic stories I've ever encountered."
A man in a wheelchair said his favourite moments are when he sees his mother happy. He said that the happiest she had ever been was: "when I was a child, some German doctors told us that I could have a surgery in Italy, and my legs would work again. She was so happy she started crying. But I never had the money to go."
He then showed Stanton a picture of his head photoshopped on a healthy body to "see what I would like".
But the prevailing and all-consuming situation of war has rendered Stanton's usual "what's been the saddest moment in your life" type of question difficult in Iraq.
"She always dreams about the bombs," a father says, pictured next to his smiling daughter, in another of Stanton's photos.
Gabo Arora, Senior Advisor for Policy and Partnerships at the UN and organiser of the trip, said that the Isis advancement and US-led intervention was "very unexpected".
He said the aim of the project is to highlight the eight Millennium Development Goals, which each UN state agreed should be achieved by 2015, such as the reduction of child mortality or the need to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
"We've made a lot of progress on the millennium goals, but what we've never really done is try and get the emotive element and stories from people," Arora said.
"We've always worked with big celebrities like George Clooney or Angelina Jolie, but we really wanted to work with new media ambassadors - ordinary people with extraordinary followers."
.@humansofny thank you #HONY for helping us raise awareness on the plight of so many #children & families within #Iraq.; UNICEF Iraq (@UNICEFiraq) August 9, 2014
He said three million of Hony's nine million fans on Facebook engage with the page each day and "from a behavioural science perspective could have more effect on people because they're actually interacting with it."
Stanton, who isn't currently accompanied by Arora, has been given complete creative control.
He was "caught off-guard" by the fighting in Iraq, Arora said, but still wanted to show Iraq as more than a place of war with "people trying to develop, people with hopes and dreams".
Stanton told The Independent: "The unfolding situation in Iraq did present me with probably the most tragic stories I've ever encountered.
"It's one thing to hear about a humanitarian crisis on the news, but it's another entirely to hear these stories one at a time, in unforgiving detail.
"It was a very eye opening experience to learn the level of tragedy that such a large swatch of humanity is forced to endure."
He also said that his Middle Eastern subjects are "more receptive" to having their pictures taken compared with New Yorkers, "because the culture is so geared toward granting favors and obliging guests".
Stanton should now have left Iraq and will arrive in Jordan any day now for the next leg of his journey, where he will document the plight of Syrian refugees.
From there he is travelling onto the African nations of Uganda, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo, then India and Vietnam.
A tentative stop in El Salvador has been scheduled, before he then goes onto the Amazon region, "most likely in Ecuador, to highlight the plight of the indigenous people" before finishing in Haiti and returning home 22-23 September.
He said he is most excited about visiting "the most misunderstood places, because I feel that's where the work has the potential to make the most impact" though he isn't sure where they are.
"I imagine the most misunderstood places are those which are in the news the most, because they tend to only be associated with violence. Iraq was certainly one of them."
This isn't the first time that Stanton has embarked on an intrepid photojournalism jaunt - in December 2012, contrary to his government's travel advice, he went to Iran of his own volition to photograph the people there, too.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
If you are getting divorced and have children, part of the divorce agreement will involve determining where and with whom the children will live. A child custody lawyer can help you negotiate custody, either by agreement or in court. The custodial parent (the one the child lives with) earns the legal right to make decisions regarding the child's lifestyle, welfare, and education. Some parents opt for joint custody, which means children divide their time between both parents' homes, and parents share the right to make decisions on behalf of the children. If you as parents are unable to agree on child custody, a judge will decide for you.

important note ;
I know other writers for the Trait family (Sins, Virtues, etc included) have said this before, but I feel it needs to be reiterated due to a few threads I myself have encountered:
Even the notions of Sin and Virtue? We use those titles because that is what most in existence know these Traits to be. When you think of being greedy or prideful? You think of the idea of Sins. When you think of chastity or charity? You think of the idea of Virtues. These are, yes, instilled within us by religion – but the Trait family in the world we created them in, their 'verse' so to speak, came before religion.
God has nothing to do with Balance's or Chaos or Order or Time's creation in this verse of ours.
In this verse, in this world, we've established? These are natural occurrences.
That is, of course, not to say that you as a writer or your muse are not allowed to view things religiously. Go right ahead. But our muses, we ourselves, do not view it as such. And it is not right to make it out like we should cater our muse to those beliefs. Before someone states we're doing some kind of disservice to the Lord with this? Some of the writers are religious.
They are old creatures, they're powerful. You can destroy their forms, but they are something present in every human, even some animals – they are emotions and beliefs – they are concepts that keep the world in balance whether you are religious or not. Erase one trait or ideology? The freedoms we have could be thrown off-kilter.
Basically, at the end of the day, all I'm really saying here with this? To expect any of us to bend our character or our headcanons, or whatever? That would be like asking a Castiel RPer not to write him as an angel of the Lord because your character or the verse they hail from might not view angels as Supernatural portrays them. That's not how RP works, folks. That takes fun out of it. Your character is welcome not to view Pride or Greed or Empathy or Ambition as eons old powerful beings – BUT that is what they are in our verse and that won't change because your character chooses not to believe or they/you disagree.
We don't expect you to change your muses or yourself (beliefs, ideals, what have you) for us, don't expect it of us.
