ONCE UPON A TIME IN TAIPEI

The lines on the skin, the clothing, the posture.... Each face tells a story. We're all unique but also uniform in the way we walk through the fire of life. Taipei is a city full of vibrant characters each living out their stories in both ordinary and extraordinary fashion. From the hardworking office ladies to the old rich grandpas smoking and drinking themselves into oblivion, every single person has something that we can both empathize with and be in awe of.

This series is a collection of candid street shots by photographer ANDREWNEF that gives us a look into the characters and moments that people experience on the streets of Taipei.
