The World Portrait Archive is an evolving photographic collection of street portraits from around the globe. The aim of this project is to document and share the diverse faces and cultures that populate the earth, providing the viewer with an intimate visual account as to how people really look at street level worldwide. The World Portrait Archive is operated by Alex Schoelcher, a multi-disciplinary photographer who splits his time between Australia, France and the United Kingdom.

Feel free to explore the countries listed, where Alex chronicles his photographic collection of street portraits. Alex hopes to continue to grow his list of locations over time in his lifetime quest to creating a truly global picture of the people of the world.
