(P/B) BRUCE GILDEN

Παρουσίαση

A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Gilden has taken the genre of street photography and pushed it in new directions, documenting the essence of the people he sees and the social landscape through which they move.
Bruce Gilden is probably best known for his work on the streets of New York, focusing on the city's characters and outsiders.
He was born in 1946 and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. After taking photography classes at the School of Visual Arts, he embarked on his first major project: recording tourists and pleasure-seekers visiting Coney Island, but he has also spent many years on projects devoted on projects in Haiti, Japan, and Ireland.)

Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards.

The series has been awarded the first annual prize for distinguished photographic books by the International Center of Photography, New York. (From the publisher)
