Bruce Gilden is a street-photography icon. With summer in full swing and International Street Photography Day (otherwise known as Henry Cartier-Bresson\u2019s birthday) looming on the horizon, what better time to feature a lively chat with the master himself, recorded at B&H\u2019s\u202f2023 Depth of Field Conference, just before the Magnum photographer\u2019s keynote lecture.

Gilden\u2019s emotionally fraught depictions of real people up close are an acquired taste, and we address this aspect of his work during our chat, with Allan admitting that Gilden\u2019s work has terrified him in the past. We also touch on a somewhat surprising facet of Gilden\u2019s career\u2014fashion photography\u2014as he discusses making pictures for high-end clients such as Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabana, and Diesel. From the influence of early 20th-century mugshots on Gilden\u2019s aesthetic to the importance of making, and living with, visual choices to keep the photography fresh, our discussion covers a lot of ground. Stay to the end to learn about Gilden\u2019s long held photographic wish\u2014photographing murder in a beautiful way.

And for anyone who\u2019s ever fantasized about a taking workshop with Gilden, check out the link below to his upcoming street photography workshop in New York!
