Like Robert Frank and other street photographers, Faurer sought inspiration in metropolitan spaces and the motley cast of characters that inhabited them. However, while Frank emphasized the harsh realities of urban life and treated his subjects with cynicism, Faurer celebrated the beauty found in marginal and unremarkable subjects. Equipped with a small 35 mm Leica camera, Faurer documented passing moments be they the bored glance of a doorman, children lolling in boredom on the steps of a hotel or tender gesture of a woman smoothing down the hair over the bald pate of her husband.
