On that trip and subsequent others, he explored the meandering streets of a country that had long fascinated him. From Tokyo to Osaka, he laid Japan bare in his own inimitable photographic style. Each image is a very close and powerful encounter with a story behind it. As ever, Gilden makes his approach, talks, tells stories, takes photographs, and paints a portrait of a unique street scene. In search of personalities as strong as his own, Gilden drew on the details around him to transcribe his vision of Japan: one man’s suit, another’s hat, or a woman’s posture. All of these elements, which give strength to the images, form a captivating ensemble – on the margins, just like him.       In Cherry Blossom, Gilden tells the story of these voyages and the ties he maintains with Japan in a rare introductory text. The stories told alongside these pictures – whether an anecdote or a dialogue with their characters – render the American photographer’s vision even more contemporary than ever.  With 60 illustrations","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741850149137,"sku":"NGR9780500545553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002920698129,"sku":"NIN9780500545553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500545553.jpg?v=1751198220"},{"product_id":"haiti-book-bruce-gilden-9781915423078","title":"Haiti","description":"Bruce Gilden first journeyed to Haiti in 1984 to document the famous Mardi Gras festivities in Port  au Prince. Fascinated by the country, he returned many times and his landmark monograph Haiti,  a culmination of these photographs made during this period was first published in 1996. Gilden has  continued to return to Haiti, and this new expanded edition of his book includes 40 new images  made up until 2010, completing Gilden’s vision of the country.  Though only an hour’s flight from Miami and the US mainland, Haiti remains the least-developed  country in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti was freed from French colonial control and slavery in  the early 19th Century but this independent came at a cost of an ‘independence debt’ which was  not paid off until 1947. In addition, chronic instability, dictatorships and natural disasters in recent  decades have left it as the poorest nation in the Americas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745593205009,"sku":"NGR9781915423078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915423074.jpg?v=1766658291"},{"product_id":"circuit-book-bruce-gilden-9781911306917","title":"The Circuit","description":"Bruce Gilden has never taken a break from his photography... Except once, in that miserable spring of 2020 when the first Covid attack took us prisoners. Stuck upstate New York with no assistant, and left with his Leica, his wife and a car, 'lockdowned' Bruce was going nuts. Late May, after the death of George Floyd, History came to the rescue with the massive protests springing out all over New York City. Bruce went to explore, driving back and forth to war zone Brooklyn and walking miles and miles on the street in pursuit of the rallies. Until one special day in early June at Barclays Center when the story of Bruce and the Bikers took off. Bruce found himself caught right in the middle of a loud and spectacular crowd of bikers, predominantly Black. He had just landed in a ride out prayer for George Floyd called by the mysterious 'Circuit', as New York s Black motorbike community nickname their huge network and its numerous social affairs. After that, Bruce had only one idea in mind: 'Find the Bikers...' And so began a relationship that continues to this day. Determined to explore the real 'Bike life' of this unknown and often feared community, Bruce embarked on the social itinerary of the MC 'Circuit', photographing tirelessly in and out and beyond New York at the events where the family of riders meet. By the end of the summer, the Bikers had a nickname for Bruce - they called him 'Everywhere'. Now that he s a regular on the Circuit, with many good friends within the community, that s changed to 'OG' (Old Guard) or simply 'Bro'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746376196369,"sku":"NGR9781911306917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50144187187473,"sku":"CIN191130691XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191130691X.jpg?v=1751218269"},{"product_id":"facing-new-york-book-bruce-gilden-9781911306474","title":"Facing New York","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49758859919633,"sku":"NGR9781911306474","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50144187711761,"sku":"CIN1911306472VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052783468817,"sku":"NIN9781911306474","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911306472.jpg?v=1751282136"},{"product_id":"after-the-off-book-bruce-gilden-9781899235179","title":"After The Off","description":"Photographs by Bruce Gilden Story by Dermot Healy Set in rural Ireland against the background of the on-course gambling which operates at the many local race meetings that are held throughout the country, this extraordinary collaboration between two great artists, combines powerful black and white portraits with vividly atmospheric storytelling.
