Bruce Gilden on photography practice



1- It begins with “You”
2- Photography is subjective. Be yourself.
3- A photojournalist places one fact after one fact and photography is more subjective than that.
4- If you’re comfortable with yourself, you can accomplish almost anything.
5- Find your niche through commitment, hard work and intelligence.
6- YOU ARE AS GOOD AS WHAT YOU EAT!
7- Go back to a place that has visual possibilities.
8- Build up a body of work and a style from this (perseverance).
9- You must act and react. Do your thinking beforehand.
10- Do you have a language yet?
11- Listen to yourself, not to others.
12- It takes years to lose your influences and become yourself.
13- I want to help you MAKE photographs, not TAKE photographs.
14- Persevere through your working years, this will make the diffrence of wether you’re special or
run of the mill.
15- If you want to shoot something, DO IT NOW! Later you might change your mind, or the place
might have changed.
16- Be courageous, not foolish.
17- You need an antenna to feel things, and a bulldog mentality.
