Bruce Gilden is a Magnum photographer who's work primarily includes New York City as well as work in Haiti and Asia. He has been photographing since the early late 1960's and is a master of street and documentary photography. He is uncommon in that he uses a flash, in tandem with his Leica, when taking street shots. As most street photographers opt for total immersion in a crowd, getting shots where the subject is unaware they are being photographed, Gilden pushes the boundries simpling by flashing a bright light in people faces. Although somewhat intrusive are his methods, his shots stand out from most other street work and are unique in their perception of New Yorkers.
