Bruce Gilden


This picture is interesting in the way it segments its subjects. There are two strong vertical lines, portioning the picture into three segments. Only one subject is facing the camera, the other two are in their own world. The lighting in this photo I found extremely intriguing, with the checkered light on the man to the left. The woman is positioned farther back in the photo, providing the image with some depth.  It is a very simple picture, but something about it jumps out at the viewer. The shadows and checkers somewhat enclose the subjects, yet their attitudes seem carefree, so its an interesting dichotomy. The background of the image is somewhat overexposed, a lot more light is present than in the foreground.
