Inspiration for 'up close and personal'

Bruce Gilden was the inspiration for this task. Bruce is a street phorotgapher that works on the streets of New York, he is also a member of Magnum Photo's. I find his work very interesting and fun, Bruce seems to get incredibly good images in such a short time frame, which I think is amazing! The images below were just a few of Bruce Gilden's picture's I looke dat for my inspiration. I find them very intriguing however still amusing. Bruce Gilden portrays his picture's ina laid back way, however when I went out to take picture's I found it very difficult to walk up to random people and snap in front of them. I have a lot of respect for Bruce Gilden for this main factor of his photography.
