Faces of Europe

German photo artist Carsten Sander captures the portraits of Europeans of different ethnicities, religions, and social backgrounds. Sander depicts celebrities, athletes, politicians, chance encounters on the street—all on equal terms, side by side.  

Faces of the European Union is an impressive demonstration of European sentiment and a tribute to peaceful co-existence, tolerance and shared values. In a contemporary way, this project centers on the humanity, emotionality and visionary power of the European idea all across Europe, from Madrid to Riga, from Dublin to Bilbao.
