I love how he dressed up like a fisherman to basically go fishing for pictures
The vest is actually really good because it’s substitutes for a camera bag. You can fit all your gear inside without worrying about someone stealing your bag
Love how this videos 14 years old and still ends up on my feed
@@OllieConnorsFilms I love his work and it's so sad how some ppl can't look past someone's outfit....with that said u sure did a good job at explaining to his vest is awesome!
@@marshnate1the way he photographs is unacceptable... Jumps onto the people like there is no tomorrow... No respect for his subjects nor for the context... I don't like the way he works.
It's amazing he hasn't caught a fist.
His style of taking photo (sudden movements) is unbelievable. I'm surprised that people is not confronting him.
Mambo Ferido This was years ago when times were different. Do that now and he would probably get his ass beat.
hello sir! just reading sa comments and saw you here..haha! so good to bump to you in the deep web street photog content haha
Papii Chuloo false. i have a buddy who does this literally walks around with a camera and a flash and people RARELY react or confront him
Mambo Ferido - Notice that Gilden is quite a large man, physically. This has a lot to do with others not confronting him.
@@youngalwyn1124 this is true.
I used to take street photos as a teenager and constantly harrased about it and questioned.
I took about 10 year break in photography.
Now I have packed on about 25lbs of muscle thanks to CrossFit.
People don't say shit to me. People probably think I'm a cop.
I don't like his behavior, but his ability to give zero fucks has to be respected. This man has balls of steel.
is this not a cliche New-York-I-Dont-Give-a-Shit attidude? I dislike his work very much even if his character is so colourful
+Alejandro Ilukewitsch i noticed that also
He's working in a crowd, people are less likely to react negatively when surrounded by other people. I know some people will think his photos are brilliant but to me they look like he dropped the camera and it went off.
He is a crackhead.
He won’t have balls of steel when someone gets fed up with his bs and kicks them
he must have his ISO set to "a-hole"
best setting ever
lmao
Smug individual .
Tiny dinkle complex.
After 4 years. Funniest joke ever
😂
“If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photograph.”
Say what you want about Bruce Gilden but the photo at 1:17 is just amazing. That completely lost stare he captured there is something you would never ever see in planned/arranged portaits. No matter how hard the Model would try to act it.
I thought the same....
That was one of his best shot. N the darkness if the shadows in his left face just look surreal to me.
The photo was taken about a week after 09/11 when wall street opened up again. Just some context.
No
You wanna talk about stares? What about 2:16
"She smiled".
"That's even worse".
Haha!
That described his whole attitude
his personality is so dominating that no one tries to even confront him, man he is so quick and upfront
To me, "Street Photography" is an art for being in harmony with street people and enviroment. As for taking a photo of unexpected facial expression, you should "record" it by patience and observation, not "produce" it by assaulting, close range flashing, and indignity.
I so agree with you
If that's your definition of street photography, fair enough. Bruce Gilden developed his own style and approach. The curious glances, odd expressions make for interesting photos when they come from odd characters. His style and approach certainly isn't for everyone. I don't think it's fair to say that it rises to the level of assault. Being in a public space means possibly being subjected to being photographed. He's certainly pushing the envelope. At the same time, he does it quickly, and then moves on. If he doubled back for another shot because he felt he didn't get the right angle or expression, then that would be another story.
*+donkeydump63* That's not the main point he's making though. "Being in harmony with street people and environment" includes not *flashing* people in the face at such short distance. It is borderline assault, and really unnecessary.
Two years late, but well said!
Celestial Traveler Gildens approach is definitely risky, unorthodox, and it requires advanced ballsy-ness to pull off. I've seen photographers try and duplicate his style but he's definitely built a brand around his invasive style photography. Personally, I always ask or I stand out of field of view if it's a candid.
I feel like this is a skit from portlandia
I think Mr Gilden's shooting tactics are a bit disgusting. You shove a camera in somebody's eye and fire flash and the stunned reaction is the photograph? And that's supposed to be deep?
I think the guy is highly aggressive and anti-social.
+Dave Esposito Weegee did this long ago and politeness has no place in art making.
He is in fact aggressive and antisocial, but that means nothing when you see his photographs.
He is one the best.
The way I think of him is "it's better than if he used a gun, but only just."
Dave Esposito nice name 🤙🏼
*Pencil Jockey*
Following your logic: John Dillinger was a successful robber of banks :)
Whatever you might think of him, he's genuine. He's not pretending he's got ethics. He only cares about the shot. I also love the analogy to war. He is a war photographer shooting like that and any one of his subjects could suddenly blow up in his face. He traversing a Manhattan minefield.
I don't see him in active warzones or taking pictures of effects on war infested areas.
He assaults people by what he's doing. He takes pictures of people from close up without consent and also uses flash.
I am surprised he still hasn't been admitted to the hospital yet.
He actually ethically justified himself saying that he was a chrackead and bla bla bla.
Ethics applies to photography as well and his style is unethical, wether he tries to justify it or not
Not speaking on his work or skills, but he comes across as a rude individual.
adarrylljacksonsr most NYers come across as rude..its the lifestyle here!!..i do street photography as well and he is intrusive but he gets good pics!! I personally like his pics..everybody can do what they want anyway because its an art form..you cant tell picasso to paint a certain way
That's what NYC is about or at least was. If you go back to the old days and listen to the radio shows back then you know what I mean. It's a little game nothing serious or as rude as it looks it's just a way to stand out and have a little fun with people on the streets
That’s a New Yorker. My first guitar teacher was a New Yorker. They’re generally a-holes. Probably why the terrorists keep trying to attack there. His photos are pretty lame, IMO. Blurry photos of startled people. He should work for a tabloid.
@@recinese - You can't tell Picasso how to paint, but you can tell him not to be disrespectful to his models!!
Nice guys didn't achieve anything of significance ever!
I am a photographer discovered a picture you published of my grandmother many years ago. I couldn't tell how you had made such a wonderful, kind, and gentle person look so harrassed and ashamed until I saw how you shot the first woman in this video. The elderly are not your characters and they deserve much more respect than you give them.
Yes, how to resolve the likeness rights of such pictures?
hahaha
“He’s a f**king bully. I despise the work, I despise the attitude, he’s an aggressive bully and all the pictures look alike because he only has one idea - ‘I’m gonna embarrass you, I’m going to humiliate you.’ I’m sorry, but no.” - Joel Meyerowitz
Wow, where does he say this?
So brave. Can we take a minute to notice how often he goes for little Jewish ladies with a pooch under their armpit compared to how often he goes for 6ft brothers with an attitude strutting down the street?
And Bruce couldn't give 2 shits, his work is unique and controversial because it's his style. If you don't like it don't look at it.
I loved the videos of Meyerowitz, the words he say are a true inspiration for a beginning student photographer!
Found the guy who wished he had the balls to photograph people, but instead does “street photography” by photographing the back of peoples heads.
You're never going to see street photos like this unless the photographer is similar in energy. True artist. Love it or hate it. I personally love it lol.
0:28 the way he says "outta the way, outta the way, outta the way" feels like an organized crime shooting
This video was uploaded 13 years ago when he said he was 61? So he probably is "outta the way" and in a coffin. If not from old age, then someone beat the sheet out of him by now.
@@vnecksurferdude7041 he's still alive as of 2024
@@vnecksurferdude7041he apparently just started a UA-cam channel last week too
i wonder when will someone upload video with tittle "Rude Street Photographer Die From Punch in the Jaw"
Well he takes the risks and guess what it shows in his work 😉 Besides nobody seems to be offended most people are surprised but they understand right away that this is just a little game
@@boris.dupont - You really believe that crap!! Most are offended, they just don't act out on it.
@leica.vision Who cares!! A hell of a lot of people care. People who don’t care how they impact on others are half the problems we have in this world. You calling me dumbass and saying who cares, just shows that you’re just another disrepectful dik!! So it doesn’t surprise me that you are a Gilden and Leica fanboy
Not many things are as beautiful as Bruce Gilden shooting New York with that piano song in the background
got into polaroid photography and this guy really inspires me i just found him today. thank you bruce gilden
He's Inspired Me For Years
Please don’t do what this asshole does
What a world we live in....some people can find art in anything. Absolutely amazing
Being a douchebag with a camera getting in people's way.... Absolutely amazing
I have to say that I'm not a fan of his photographs. I realize they're basically just character portraits, but there is a lot left to be desired in them. There are no elements of composition to tell a story, no play of light, or feel of environment for the subject.
+Ars Ikon Try to take one like this ;)
+Toni García I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
he just concerned with catching the people.....not about composition or geometry.
Or0s rekajeancralr
Beginners think gear. Intermediats think skills (everthing you mentiond, composition, play of light or feel of environment lol). Legends think soul
he only takes photos of people that are either too weak to fight or are afraid to fight back. would love to see him take photos of bodybuilders
IMO the weak to fight or are afraid to fight back would actually whoop Bruce Gilden down and bodybuilders wouldn't give a lot of shit about Bruce's repertoire.
@@GPTMagana sarcasm?
@@tipoffmedia No, I'm serious.
if i did what he does, i think id be dead. honestly i was quite shocked seeing what he does to people. and honestly seeing the photos he takes, ive seen a lot better ones out there. but this is photography. ive seen many famous photographers with crappy photos. obviously taken after they got famous. its like music. when were famous already, people would buy our crappy music.
"the energy, the stress..."
he's stressing people out by harassing them and then taking their photo. i wouldn't like it
Kat ily you can cry later
Art making is rarely comfortable.
Degas used to make women cry when he yelled at them to get his beautiful pastels correct
No he isn't. Live a little!
@@nickfanzo that's a separating the art from the artist statement right there.
Kat ily what!?
bruce gilden is one of my favorite photographers but i must say i was shocked/amazed to see this is how he does it. very intrusive indeed, but very sincere at the same time. anyway, these are the photos people will appreciate the most 50 years from now when they'll want to see what life/people/culture were like way back now :)
he is a really good judge of character since no one was offended.
He may be a "legend" to some but looks like a Brooklyn bully to me. In your face is his genre.
Not a bully just an old kid doing old fashioned jokes and playing games with unknown people the way they did on radio or TV shows back then with famous people 😉
Sudesh Singh art is art. Take it or leave it
@@nickfanzo can we actually leave it if it was all so fast and forced
El Chupacabra it’s still be art though
@@nickfanzo that's fine I won't contest that if you want to call it that, but art being art doesn't absolve him of his rudeness and/or inconsideration at all
This guy is so New FUCKING York it's hilarious
He is the one CAUSING the anxiety you see in his photos.
No
@@CrowCloudsyes
I start street photography after saw his artwork, I had put down my camera for 10 years.
While i think his photos are interesting on one hand, i think they are "staged" on the other hand...when you pop a flash in someone's face and they react, you've set up the shot instead of capturing unscripted moments which occur naturally and are much harder to shoot. Have real mixed feelings about his photographic style.
He gets what he wants to get 🤣 What did you think photography is about? Capturing something you're not interested in?
When you pop a flash in someone's face, you don't capture their "reaction" on the photo, which is taken at the same instance. The reaction might come AFTER the flash.
Jebus, it's like most of commenters never took a flash photo.
I think his work is a lot about his perception and his personality. In this sense his subjects are nothing but mirrors.
there is no such thing as "not scripted images" in photography , at the moment you setup a composition it's already over , street photography and photography in general is not a representation of reality ... thoses facial expression are actually natural since it's how they react to the moment ... yes he create the moment but you know that in life you have to create your own opportunitys right ? no matter the style you are doing or the type of photos you are doing
even in "reporter" photography you compose your shot , no matter what again , there are no such thing as a "non staged image" people really need to stop with that bullshit
All those comments criticizing Bruce are from people who don't have any guts to do street photography.
That, or they're probably the typical IG "street photogs" who shoots mostly shadows and boring ass silhouettes with a fuckin 50mm or higher lens
Triggered
(I do like Bruce's style though)
Lol, DR TV said not to dress like a pedo. He kinda failed.
He almost got beaten up because of that in his london trip. lOL
i believe this guy is a genius. probably not the best photographer out there but definitely a character and at that his photography is too which makes it a very unique art.
BG is documenting his, uhm, personality & character, not the street scenes he crashes into
He inspired me to have the confidence to photograph strangers. He’s an incredible photographer if you really look through his work.
@Eli Santiago Most people are not artists. Such negative reactions to his work indicate this divide rather clearly. To continue on, despite such intense scrutiny, is certainly an inspirational trait.
Excellent. I like how he captures them lost in thought, with no chance to hide their emotions and with expressions
If I did this 'style' of photography in my town I'd be floored at my first attempt (rightly so too)' this man is obnoxious, rude and very invasive
Obviously not so much so as he gets away with it every time 😉
He makes you feel something didn't he? You despise him.
@@JohanEssenceExplorer lots of things make me feel something, doesn't make them art
@@tomkenning5482 art is subjective, what you believe something is not art for other it is.
That's New York city for ya
"alL of tHesE pEopLe aRe mY fRiEnDs"
I can't do these crazy stunts where I live 🤣 . I'd be chased or beat up.
Really brutal approach to take someone picture. Just waiting the time when someone feels annoyed and then beat you.
The one thing that street photography should not be, is intrusive. Thats the one thing you do apart from annoying people. Using the flash on unsuspecting people is remarkably rude.
really? photography in general is an intrusion. that's the whole point of it. you intrude by grabbing a part of the world and recording it onto photo paper. some of the most famous photographers in the world have intruded to get photos that have changed peoples lives and opened the eyes of others.
"The mindlessness of the city and everyday life"
Would help if you watched the video. LOL
lol so you get to judge what street photography should or shouldn't be? Shoot what you like and stop judging how other ppl do it
I dont think there are any rules in photography
“The one thing that street photography should not be is...”
You’re not off to a good start.
And hes making high quality street pictures????.Give me a break.
helthuismartin lol..
He's doing what any street photographer dreams of namely have his own style and stand out from the crowd 😉
Let’s see yours then
His photos trash af. I guarantee mine a lot of betters
The photos are fire
WNYC needs to bring this series back.
He's a character too! Great faces, capturing that split second of a person. Good job putting his story together. Thanks for sharing Gilden's work and how he works.
“I don’t care about your question” love it
He's a G!
Man i love photography,but i couldn't go sticking my wide-angle and flash in peoples faces like that lol
He has a lot of confidence :-)
Yes he does!
His photos made me smile is that a good thing ?
I guess so 😉
Yes!
I am an artist, a photographer. I am a nature photographer (not street.)
Yes, I watched and I listened to him saying that people are too busy focussing on their own lives to notice, but I also think there are other ways to go about photography. See the Sandra Roa or the Jamel Shabazz videos for a different (an in my opinion better) way to do street photography.
Anyone can go and shove a camera in someones face, but it takes reall guts to actually talk to the people, and get to know them.
These are street portraits if anything. There is no action, no story, no "decisive moment". Just what he sees as interesting people.
I agree with you, there's no "story"...
easterner2010 The old decisive moment cliche. An amazing capture is a "Decisive moment". And Bruce has many amazing photos. Don't judge his work by 5 minutes of shooting, taking great photographs is about persistence and patience.
Have you seen his photos? Judging by your comment I'm going to say no you haven't
This man hypnotizes his caracters by his gestures
Most of his shots are capturing the shock or anger from him shoving a camera in the subjects face. He is now part of the story. Street photography where the subject is completely unaware of the photographer is far more interesting to look at and tells a better story 50 years later.
Them Pictures
He's taking there in 2007 will,
Really mean something in
10, 20, years time Like
His older picture's from
The 70s 80s 90s do now
2:09 is my favourite of the photographs in this video.
I disagree slightly with some people that don't like his photographs. I'd say they look decent and definitely have a style to them.
My problem lies more with how the shot was taken. I know that I probably wouldn't be too happy if someone did this to me.
I mean at least he’s honest about having no ethics. There isn’t really any other way to get real candid photographs w out being kinda intrusive and dickish. But future generations who want a glimpse into our reality will thank him later.
His images are super interesting and very pleasant on an aesthetic level for me. But I find his means disturbing 😂
And you call this art? It's nothing but intimidating people.
"She smiled" "That's even worse"
I love the little old lady at 3:42 that is laughing and smiling after the photo!
2:13 If she was smiling with her teeth, she'd look like an Aphex Twins album cover
sometimes you gotta be like him and not take shit too serious. love how he carved his own style
Well said
this is gold, thank you YT algorithm
Incredible pictures. Terrible way of getting Them.
That's the only way of getting them. You enjoy the product but not the production. Do you enjoy hot dogs perchance?
Street photography, not for the faint of heart.
Mediocre at best
Exactly what is Bruce Gilden trying to "capture"?
If he's trying to capture the body language of people reacting to an inconsiderate arse hole that jumps in front of their face and takes a picture without their permission, then he is a genius. And hats off to him to having "no ethics", as it's essential for the type of work he does.
But in my opinion his approach is not one that should be celebrated, and neither are his pictures. They're just not that good.
you are a midwit and always will be
art is subjective, your experiences change your opinion.
@@erictrombini8519 I believe that your experiences in life affect your opinion on things like art or comedy. My opinion was that art was subjective, my experiences in my life and as a intermediate photographer myself are different to there beliefs of the original comment on Bruce Gilden and his work.
My comment was more of a reflection of art in general. I think you have missed the point of what I was saying.
@@Griffin-Media Tweaker
I really enjoy the fact that he gets people so upset with the way he takes photos
Why do you enjoy that?
People are taught to be offended by pictures but not surveillance
Because surveillance cameras are not shoved in my face with a ducking flash. As an introvert, this is just pure nightmare
No one saying after all these years the dude at 2:16 is defo a demon
Yooo😂
A true artist.
Taking something we see every day and making us look at it more.
well said
People like this give Street photography a bad reputation. When I do street photography my intention is not to humiliate, shock, or be rude. I like to capture moments as they happen without much or if any intervention, that's part of the charm. Sure sometimes I ask to take someone's picture, but I ask with respect.
When did you last see anyone like him. Probably never.
He's like a paparazzo for regular people.
People calling him a dick are obviously not understanding what he is trying to do. He's trying to capture people in their raw state of mind/emotion where they don't unintentionally pose for the camera. That is the part of this that seems intriguing to me. Is it shitty to throw a camera and flash in someone's face? Yes. But capturing raw emotion of everyday people like this is not easy unless there are a bunch of people around and they don't notice you. But then you'll be considered a creep. I'm not super impressed with all of his work but some of it is awesome.
I understand the fact that he's trying to capture people's raw emotion, but it doesn't in any way necessitate the use of a flash during daylight. If anything, he's disrupting their "raw state of mind/emotion" when he flashes them...
He kind of explained his use of flash. He's trying to capture the energy and stress of New York city.
I wish there were longer videos of Bruce Gilden - hes such a wise guy.
I think NY is one of the best places in the World to do a street photography. It just works in many ways. You can be creativ in many ways.
"I have no ethics." - Bruce Gilden
I hate this style of street photographry.
Look at the pictures and look at people's faces afterwards and you'll see what it's all about 😉 Fear is a bad adviser at least artistically
I hate the fact that his shots are blurry and so rushed that he doesn’t even fill the frame with the subject most of the time. People praise him as one is the best, but I’m not impressed.
@@totallyfrozen that's your opinion
@@totallyfrozen Agreed. If you take thousands of snapshots, you're bound to get a few good ones lol. It requires no skill.
I've seen work from very skilled street photographers who envision their scenes, but as you said, I'm not impressed with his work at all
@@lilblingking1491 what does skill have to do with him expressing himself artistically in a way thats not difficult to understand?
Maybe he is a good photographer. But he is a rude person indeed.
Actors look rude too when they play the bad guys 🤣
dongle seon so what
I didn't even find that they were any good photographs. His setting are generally awful and the only redeeming part of them is that he allowed the flash to come from a different angle. He almost never gets the subjects expression of being lost in thought which he speaks highly about and instead gets states of shocked anger which seem almost like a fetish kick from him shoving a camera abruptly in someones face. As he said, he has no empathy. If you want someone who can do this style effectively look up Tatsuno Suzuki, even when he's noticed taking the picture they are still dynamic, have depth and generally in focus
Binal what you are saying is merely subjective
Not even that good, it's just because he's doing shit work that no one else is inconsiderate enough to do
fascinating man and fascinating pictures
His development in his style of street photography is what makes it different, i personally don't agree with his method of shooting photos he does but you can't not respect the man on paving his own way into the street photography style he goes for.
I found this through Vimeo, where I saw some of his photos without totally thinking about what was required to capture them. My first thought was , "Oh, he's doing the Diane Arbus thing." Then the first thing I see in this video is of him pushing into the elderly lady's face and flashing his flash. For those of you who don't maybe get why the flash, the burst of flash is so fast it freezes action, so that's his technique for his "spray and pray" style. It yields some interesting images, but so would dropping a bucket of paint on someone.
Just think: You're walking in NYC, the streets are crowded, you're an elderly woman. Suddenly this freak in a Tilley hat is rushing at you a flash is exploding in your face. How do you know he's not some nut case who's going to assault you? Or rob you? It is truly indefensible. My problem is that I think some of images are stunning, even iconic, yet I'm so filled with unease about how they were produced, I don't trust them and I'm ambivalent about them. It's like a documentary on "expressions people make when they think their life is over." I"ll pass on those, thanks.
If you have a weak heart and someone jumps out in front of you and fires a flash in your face, it could finish you off. Really it could. There's a lot of luck to this anyway. Most of these shots are pretty poor.
You just know some of the people that hate Bruce here are the boring as shit; mid stride, walking in the rain with umbrella, beam of light, puddle type of street photographers. That shit got real old for me real quick, I applaud Bruce for stepping out of that.
I'm just wondering what camera he's using
seeing this technique is cathartic to me, regarding that my potential subjects often reject my request for *a* picture, and i’ve ended up making grotesque candids. years - even decades - of experience will change lots of perspective of some optimistic, youthful photographers like me.
well, just gonna drop this: *making art is not illegal. publishing it may be*
As a photographer myself, I admire him. His method brings out really unique and candid shots, remarkable and poignant.
I agree! his approach helped me gain the confidence to photograph strangers.
His photos are pretty good. I mean, it's a bit 'in your face', but he captures the moment, the culture, the mood, the feel. Wish I had his confidence
They look shit really blurry
"The energy is stress.. the anxiety" ... but also "DON'T SMILE, JUST WALK" when he's shooting others lol
interesting this was 10-16 years ago, i wonder if he could take pictures like that today. most people might be looking down at their phone and might not even notice
what a crazy man
good photos, but people probably didn't appreciate what he was about when he points a camera and a flash in their face...
i think thats the point
I like this man... that is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. I see characters wherever I go, but to take a picture has never crossed my mind. Amazing.
Is Gilden an artist or an a**hole? I think the latter. Gilden says his subjects "are his friends"-- but a friend like him, who needs enemies? Being a creative person doesn't grant someone creative license to invade other people's space and be disrespectful, and make money on that exploitation.
Look at the smiles on his friend's faces after he took the picture and you'll see what it's all about 😉 seriously do all people here live in fear?
Well said. The end does not justify the means. If creating your art means disrespecting people, the subject of your art, then your art is not worth respecting.
For having watch other videos about Bruce Gilden on youtube, he seems for a kind and completely true person. I think he is someone who seeks for love, and who wants to be loved. Some people in the comment section say he is the cause of people who he takes picture anxiety but in my opinion he just emphasizes their state of mind. In every busy city, most of the people walk in the street in a non really conscious way, ruminating thoughts in their mind, not being present, not interacting with each other. In a way, he is interacting with people. I would not personnaly use this approach but it is nevertheless an interesting and unique one.
I love your description. Very well said
"she smiled, that's even worse" "I have no ethics" "I hate questions". Great quotes and one of the better videos I have seen on UA-cam. Wish there were more features like this.
I'm on acid yo, I watched this video maybe 30 times between 9am or so and now. I want to see more of this guy immediately. I wonder how his day is going as he hears the news of him being on the tube. I think I wanna see yt feature more of this sorta junk. It's GOLD.
Such an interesting way of working
That man is ageless, he will live forever
I tend to think that what he is saying about people becoming "the same", fewer characters, is pretty accurate. Times have really changed, I remember when people used to enjoy having their picture taken, there was a feeling of liberty and fun, people wanted things to happen to them in public, to live an interesting life. Women and men were both open to the adventure, though it was definitely dangerous, the culture was so different... I miss that spirit... it had its downside but today people are so uptight, and totally lacking in love and spiritedness... It amazes me that people still think they're living in a free world, so much has disappeared since the late 90's and early 2000's... its sad...
The world hasn't changed, you've just gotten old and nostalgic and sad.
@@loklan1 It has changed, but 99% is just getting older and nostalgic for sure.
People might have changed due to how much surveillance is going on. If we don't act up, we will literally end up with zero privacy in the end. I mean phones are already listening to what you are saying in order to show you ads.
I am free baby.. I’m in my prime and I don’t give a fuck, got my heart full of love and I live how I want.. but I’m a rare one baby. One of a dying breed
I love this guy. Totally aggressive street photography approach. I thought I had been too aggressive before, but now I see just how far one can go.
You can't sue for having your photo in a newspaper or website unless it's used for commercial purposes. He can post any picture of any person all over his own personal site as much as he wants. He can also use it for editorial purposes or sell it as fine art. Good luck getting anything in court.
I love his style of street photography.
never really knew who he was when I visited Magnum Photos.. I just thought he was some random crazy New Yorker....damn I should have spent some time talking to him ....
There's no honesty or mystery in his photos.
to you
Bruce is in the moment. He doesn't have to explain. The subjects do participate even if it is unconscious.
Take it as a point of view
David F
This guy's a nut job!!!! - Love him!! We need more people like this xx
He is actually a very interesting guy with a story. And what i do love about him is he doesn't give a fuck about what people think. The very fact that there are so many comments on any video about Bruce Gilden says something. He's published, he's a speaker, galleries have shown his work around the world, people talk about him. Go watch his interviews, pretty cool guy. And look at his 'faces' project. All taken with permission, and with total respect of those people, some who have real life hardships.
I like his photography a lot. I do understand why other people might not, though I don't get why they feel the need to be insulting when they express their opinion.
