13 Photographers on Turning Points in Their Work
Turning points in the lives and works of photographers often span the extremes—from global and national events to the most personal moments. Photographers such as Alec Soth and Zun Lee are able to not only bear witness to events that shape our collective history, but also to map more intimate transitions within their craft and their everyday lives.

A photographer looks back at his work in New York City in the 1980s – The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/2020/01/29/photographer-looks-back-his-work-new-york-city-1980s/Bruce Gilden calls the photo “The Strangler.” The long-time Magnum photographer was just walking down a street of New York when he came across the scene. “It’s one of the few pictures where I can remember the scenario,” he said. “These two guys were having this battle in the street. They were so drunk and one had his hand on the other’s neck for a minute.”

Exploring Detroit’s Soul – The Leica Camera Blog
Exploring Detroit’s Soul
Street photography can come in many shapes and sizes. For Bruce Gilden, it has a strong definition, one that is exemplified by the close up images he takes of people in the streets. “Detroit: Against the Wind” is Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden’s ode to the Midwestern city and its inhabitants. The exhibition, open until October 6th, commissioned by Leica UK, includes more than 20 new photographs taken by Gilden earlier this year, shot on the Leica M-System.

Bruce Gilden & the Absence of Empathy
I confess to being previously enamored of Gilden’s style – if nothing else, I have respect for people who do “their thing” for years and years. But after reading May’s article, and seeing Gilden’s images shot over a paltry two days, the love affair is over. Gilden’s images are nothing more than caricatures. His essay is a visual freakshow that says little about the place or the people, and more about creating provocative clickbait. If his intent is to trigger disgust, then mission accomplished

Listen: Is Bruce Gilden’s ‘Two Days in Appalachia’ Poverty Porn?
Roger May, the director of Looking at Appalachia, which recently got some nice coverage on Lens, was invited on West Virginia’s “Front Porch” podcast to discuss. Embedded above, you’ll hear 20 minutes of very fair criticism exploring whether Gilden’s garish images feed into existing stereotypes that plague the region in the wake of a long history of exploitative visual representation made by those who parachute in. Or, whether by virtue of being just about indistinguishable from the work Gilden makes anywhere he goes, they engage with that history in a more nuanced way.

A Collection of Bruce Gilden’s Up Close and Personal Portraits
“They’re my friends for twenty minutes,” says New York City-based photographer Bruce Gilden of the personalities that together make up his newest book Face. Over the past few years, he has collected the countenances of those who spend their lives overlooked and unseen in crowds, visages that when scrutinized, slip from the familiar and banal and over—ever so slightly—into the extraordinary.
