There are 7.8 billion people living on Planet Earth, so when American photographer Doug Menuez outlines his area of interest as “humanity”, he’s not short of subject matter.
In his 40 years as a photojournalist, documentary photographer and director, Menuez has captured a diverse cross-section of humanity, from leaders and luminaries, including President Clinton, Mother Teresa, and Jane Goodall, A-list actors such as Robert Redford, Cate Blanchett and Christopher Walken, through to scientists, astronauts, drug dealers and environmental activists.
