i prefer screaming and shoving a camera in peoples faces so they look all scared when i take the photo.

[badmanners411]

Please go watch wnycradio's video about Bruce Gilden :)

@afterthebeep

Hello Mr. Gilden

[Flameberg2k]

@afterthebeep i prefer hitting such cameramen in the face and walking away :D

[rglev]

i usually don't care for "posed" photography, but you make it so interesting. probably because the love and respect with which you operate. it definitely translates into your photos.

[MASSIVE100]

I like this guy the best out of all of the street photographers I've seen :) I love that he is so polite and the technique he uses to be close to the peolpe he is photographing is so calm and nice!

[fluffyvolkswagen]

I love it!!! He's so nice!!! :D

[spoier]

Jamel's book "Back in the Days" is great, check it out

[royalsteven]

Exactly no rushing and smiling. Have fun in your hobby/work. You don't get the truest most sincere expressions with people that have masks on.

[gumanow]

I think this is awesome, but at the same time it seems more like street portraiture. Fantastic approach and I totally agree with his comments about slowing down, at least in moderation! Nice work!

[SirIsaac05]

I think that this man is a gentleman, but Bruce is a raw artistic photographer. Bruce gets images that reflect the culture and the people surrounding him, and Jamel gets somewhat more of a hallmark card photo.

[sean9820]

this should have been featured instead of that bruce guy. He is a gentleman and a stand up guy unlike bruce.

[Midjet666]

Fantastic shot of the girls in the tree.

[jossandman]

lovely guy

[almubeeb]

Oh man, that shot at the end of the girls in the tree was WOW!

[eslambro]

great communication skiils, that's a key

[xXIcigoXx]

[alexairlie]
