Colin Boyd Shafer and Cosmopolis Toronto

Cosmopolis Toronto: Colin Boyd Shafer, a 30-year-old photographer and teacher, is attempting to take pictures of at least one person from every country in the world who now call Toronto home, according to CTV. The crowd-funded project, aptly dubbed Cosmopolis Toronto, began in October 2013. To date, Shafer has captured nearly 180 portraits and only has 13 countries left to represent and Living in what is considered one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world, a Toronto photographer is taking it upon himself to map his citys diversity using the faces and stories of the people who live there. I thought it would be cool to try and capture this very sweeping term diversity, he told News. I dont think there has ever been something done like this where diversity is individualized and a face is created around that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
