How To | Shoot like Magnum Photo's Bruce Gilden and @magnum-photos

We met up with Bruce Gilden in the streets of Manhattan to look at a day in his life and offer some insight into the work he created in New York in the 1980s. Gilden grew up in Brooklyn, making him no stranger to the city’s multi-faceted nature. And, his frank and evocative style of street photography plays homage to Robert Frank's quote, 'If it's not good enough, you're not close enough'.

His photographs are of the "street poet" variety with his images laid out in a stream-of-consciousness-type manner. Though the sequencing follows no particular, identifiable rhythm, they reflect the meandering eye of their maker.

Ah, c'mon...there's got to be more footage. And where's the images?

What an amazing character Bruce Gilden is. He's as original as they come and his photography is top notch. The love coming from other street photographers he bumped into is lovely to see here too.

[gottago]

i took a workshop with this guy, what a f**king hoot even while he was even while ripping my work apart.

[dangilmore]

I've run into him a couple of times over the years. He gets away with stuff I'd never try.

[zsombee]

Please do more of these kind of videos!

[PedroDeltellColomer]

Can you tell us what camera, lens, flash and wireless connection he is using?

[aliakgunnn]

Does anyone know what flash the guy with the Fuji uses on his Fujifilm X100VI? I've been trying to find a compact yet good looking flash for my own Fuji, this one looks really cool!

What's the point of a video about this person without showing any of the actual pictures?
