UIX: Portraits of urban innovation

For the past 15 months, Model D photographer Marvin Shaouni has worn another hat as Urban Innovation Exchange portraitist. 

His asignment is to visually document all the subjects of profiles written by UIX scribe Tunde Wey. Though most are portraits of social innovators like Nefertiti Harris (pictured in today's Model D) Shaouni also shoots the places where the people do their innovative thing.
