2Driftwood – Fotozine
by Christian Reister
Driftwood is a Fotozine started in April 2016 by Berlin Photographer Christian Reister. In hist latest issue he displays the very gritty and raw atmosphere of Berlin at night. The pictures are printed as double page spreads and each magazine contains from 32 to 64 pages. You can order the limited edition for around 12€ and receive your copy.
“The images are very good, exactly like I appreciate: black and white; dark; full of mistery (…) The narrative leads us to a Berlin by night, with indefinite streets, where we stayed in suspense about what might happen around us.”
—Fábio Miguel Roque, The Unknown Books, on Issue 1

6Bruce Gilden – Podcast Guest
This week the Visual Revolutionary Podcast is joined by the legendary Bruce Gilden.
On this episode of the podcast we are joined by renowned street photographer and Magnum member Bruce Gilden. Have you ever found yourself walking down a busy street, looking into the faces of those who walk by, wondering to yourself what they are thinking, or projecting your own emotions or stories into their life? That’s what Bruce has made a living doing. Although some critics have accused his work of being exploitive, after almost two hours of talking and laughing with him, I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the only thing he is exploiting is himself. Whether he sees the family figures he grew up with, the old characters of the streets he used to play in, or the pain and suffering of his own journey and struggles, he connects with faces at a very emotional and gut level. He sees a glimpse of himself and tries to capture it. Growing up in Brooklyn, Bruce used to look out the windows and watch the characters of the city go by. His father was a tough character in his own right and someone Bruce feels like he has photographed over and over again. When Bruce found sports, he started to find his own voice. He excelled in basketball and baseball, but he always wanted to box. Although his father would never allow him to get into boxing, Bruce ended up developing an aggressive one two punch with his style of street photography that he would become famous for. Today we talk about his legendary career and how it all started. We get the chance to hear about some of his favorite places he’s been, what he feels like is a common thread in the people he shoots all over the world, and what’s kept him going for all these years. So sit back and enjoy this conversation about characters from a true character.
