Bruce Gilden
Posted by Aaron on June 1st, 2008I just watched this entrancing short movie about Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden, known for his up-close and personal imagery from the streets of New York City.
Note how Gilden gets right up to people and even puts an off-camera flash directly in front of their faces. I was amazed at how unabashed he was with his shooting. Gilden is quoted as saying, “I’m known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.”
I have to admit that photographing people in a street setting actually makes me a little uneasy because I’m always concerned about someone getting angry, but apparently that is not a problem for Gilden.
Bold Street Photography with Bruce Gilden…
Great story and video of Bruce Gilden and his direct way of photographing people on the streets of New York. I’m not this brave!…
