A compact survey of Bruce Gilden’s street photography

Part of Thames & Hudson’s Photofile series, this monograph traces Bruce Gilden’s photographic work from early images at Coney Island to street scenes in New York and longer projects in Haiti, Japan, and Ireland. The selection centers on his attention to people encountered in public space—particularly figures described as the city’s characters and outsiders—and places those portraits within the wider social environments around them. With 144 pages, it offers an introduction to a photographer associated with extending street photography’s subject matter and approach across several locations.

Book overview

Bruce Gilden 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. Gilden is probably best known for his work on the streetsof New York, focusing on the city's characters and outsiders, but he has also spent many years on projects in Haiti, Japan, and Ireland. A member of Magnum Photos since 2001, 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.
