PHOTOGRAPHER

Bruce Gilden

Gilden was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1946. Fascinated by Michelangelo Antonioni’s film ‘Blowup’, he purchased his first camera in 1968. Shortly afterwards he began working on two series covering the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the beach at Coney Island.
His favourite places for working are and remain the streets of America’s major cities: right in there and up close. Gilden was awarded the 2013 Guggenheim Grant. He is a member of the Magnum Agency.
