Mad Men Project By Bruce Gilden

Mad Men is an interesting project by photographer Bruce Gilden. In a 'godforsaken place' in Russia, small-time gangsters are trapped in a cycle of vodka, violence and crime. Bruce Gilden (born 1946) is a noted street photographer, known for his work in New York City.
Career
While studying sociology at Penn State, he saw Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blowup in 1968. Influenced by the film, he purchased his first camera and began taking night classes in photography at the School of Visual Arts of New York. Fascinated with normal people on the street and the idea of visual spontaneity, Gilden turned to a career in photography. He routinely uses a flash, alerting his subjects to his presence, unlike most street photographers. His first major project was documenting the sensuality of the bodies of the people at Coney Island.
