Books by Bruce Gilden

Bruce Gilden has always had a fascination with what he calls characters . So, for Bruce, New York, with its famous idiosyncratic citizenry and the unique energy of its streets, proved to be a giant creative playground. Originally published in 1992 and long out of print, ''Facing New York'' has become a recognised photobook classic. For this new edition Bruce has replaced two images, of which he says that he just can t understand why they didn t make his original selection.

In A Complete Examination of Middlesex, New York-based street photographer Bruce Gilden (born 1946) captures the diversity of characters populating the streets of London. In color and black and white, Gilden's snapshots present the viewer with shots of the isolated hands, feet and faces of passersby.
