Leica Conversations: Getting Closer: Building Trust in Photography

A Leica Conversation with Dr. Greg Gulbransen and former LIFE editor-in-chief Bill Shapiro.

When Robert Capa famously said, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough,” he wasn’t only talking about physical distance.
Dr. Greg Gulbransen, a physician and self-taught photographer, spent three years with a gang leader in the Bronx who ran his crew from a wheelchair. This program will cover a wide range of topics including how to build trust with your subjects, methods of quickly establishing rapport, shooting in tight spaces, and keeping cool in hair-trigger situations. Dr. Gulbransen will share images from his new book, “Say Less,” about his time with the Bronx gang.
