Portraits taken by Bruce Gilden keep popping up in my Insta feed and I went searching to see what kind of light he was using since I could not always see the catchlight in his subjects eyes.\u00a0 Now I know why – he uses the flash off camera and sort of jumps out at his subjects and raises the flash with one hand while shooting with the camera held lower in his other hand.\u00a0 This technique seems to work really well for him, maybe because he hasn’t changed much about how he works in decades.\u00a0 He has a really quick eye to recognize interesting subjects on the street.<\/p>\n

While reading about him, I found this interesting blog on street photography which has a lot of interviews of well known street photographers like Bruce and also street photos from nearly a 100 cities.<\/p>\n
