Framing and Cropping-Bruce Gilden

A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Bruce Gilden is best known for his uncompromising, in-your-face approach to street photography

 Many of Bruce Gildens likes to take photos  from extremely low angles, making his subjects look larger than they really are. He often cuts off subjects in odd places in the frame (only showing one half of someone’s face), while still filling the frame.

I get from doing a little bit of research and looking at his work he like to have a bit of mystery to his photography as he chose the composition in a odd way for example the top left image shows a elderly woman looking quite scared  but when you look behind her you see a woman who looks to be snaring at the old woman it makes it seem that the woman behind her is a person she is wanting to get a way from.
