Inside the bedrooms of millennials all over the world

Portrait of a generation — Photographer John Thackwray has spent years travelling the world, capturing the hopes and fears of people under 30 – all from within their most private space.

Over the last six years, photographer John Thackwray has made his way into 1,200 living spaces across 55 countries.

The idea started as a way for the French photographer to capture the style and personalities of his Parisian friends.

Gradually it morphed into a way of measuring how fast the world is changing.
