People
The human condition has always fascinated John Robert Young. Over the years he has photographed the famous, the infamous, the devout, and the forgettable, but around the world there have been numerous memorable people who have caught his attention from every background and in every condition of life and whom he felt compelled to photograph. He says, “These are just a few who take their place with all who are so well known."
