"I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get"
An Iconic street photographer with a unique mode, Bruce Gilden was built-in in Brooklyn, New York in 1946. He first went to Penn State Academy only he found his sociology courses too boring for his temperament and he quit higher. Gilden briefly toyed with the idea of being an actor but in 1967, he decided to buy a camera and to become a photographer. Although he did attend some evening classes at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Bruce Gilden is to be considered substantially a self-taught photographer.
Right from babyhood, he has ever been fascinated by the life on thestreets and the complicated and fascinating motion it involves, and this was the spark that inspired his showtime long-term personal projects, photographing in Coney Island and so during theMardi Gras in New Orleans.
Over the years he has produced long and detailed photographic projects in New York, Haiti, France , Ireland, India, Russian federation, Nippon, England and now in America.
Since the seventies his work has been exhibited in museum and art galleries all over the world and is function of many collections.
The photographic mode of Bruce Gilden is defined by the dynamic accent of his pictures, his special graphic qualities, and his original and direct manner of shooting the faces of passers-by with a flash. Gilden'south powerful images in blackness and white and now in color have brought the Magnum photographer worldwide fame.
Gilden has received many awards and grants for his piece of work, including National Endowments for the Arts fellowships (1980, 1984 and 1992), French "Villa Medicis Hors les Murs" grant (1995), grants from the New York Land Foundation for the Arts ( 1979, 1992 and 2000), a Japan Foundation Artist Fellowship (1999) and in 2013 a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship.
Bruce Gilden has published 23 monographs of his piece of work, among them: Facing New York, 1992; Bleus, 1994; Haiti, 1996 (European Publishers Honor for Photography); Afterward The Off, 1999; Go, 2000; Coney Island, 2002; A Cute Catastrophe, 2004; Foreclosures, 2013; A complete Test of Middlesex, 2014. In 2015, Gilden published Face, and Hey Mister Throw Me Some Beads!
