    To me, "Street Photography" is an art for being in harmony with street people and enviroment. As for taking a photo of unexpected facial expression, you should "record" it by patience and observation, not "produce" it by assaulting, close range flashing, and indignity.

    If that's your definition of street photography, fair enough. Bruce Gilden developed his own style and approach. The curious glances, odd expressions make for interesting photos when they come from odd characters. His style and approach certainly isn't for everyone. I don't think it's fair to say that it rises to the level of assault. Being in a public space means possibly being subjected to being photographed. He's certainly pushing the envelope. At the same time, he does it quickly, and then moves on. If he doubled back for another shot because he felt he didn't get the right angle or expression, then that would be another story.

    Celestial Traveler Gildens approach is definitely risky, unorthodox, and it requires advanced ballsy-ness to pull off. I've seen photographers try and duplicate his style but he's definitely built a brand around his invasive style photography. Personally, I always ask or I stand out of field of view if it's a candid.

    While i think his photos are interesting on one hand, i think they are "staged" on the other hand...when you pop a flash in someone's face and they react, you've set up the shot instead of capturing unscripted moments which occur naturally and are much harder to shoot.

    there is no such thing as "not scripted images" in photography , at the moment you setup a composition it's already over , street photography and photography in general is not a representation of reality ... thoses facial expression are actually natural since it's how they react to the moment ... yes he create the moment but you know that in life you have to create your own opportunitys right ? no matter the style you are doing or the type of photos you are doing even in "reporter" photography you compose your shot , no matter what again , there are no such thing as a "non staged image" people really need to stop with that bullshit

    I am an artist, a photographer. I am a nature photographer (not street.) Yes, I watched and I listened to him saying that people are too busy focussing on their own lives to notice, but I also think there are other ways to go about photography. See the Sandra Roa or the Jamel Shabazz videos for a different (an in my opinion better) way to do street photography. Anyone can go and shove a camera in someones face, but it takes reall guts to actually talk to the people, and get to know them.

    Exactly what is Bruce Gilden trying to "capture"? If he's trying to capture the body language of people reacting to an inconsiderate arse hole that jumps in front of their face and takes a picture without their permission, then he is a genius. And hats off to him to having "no ethics", as it's essential for the type of work he does. But in my opinion his approach is not one that should be celebrated, and neither are his pictures. They're just not that good.
