Henri Cartier - Bresson
French photographer being considered as the father of photojournalism. He was the master of candid photography. He helped in developing the street photography style. Photography took him to many places such as China, Mexico, Canada, US, India, Japan and even the Soviet Union. He became the first photographer to be able to photograph "freely" in the post-war Soviet Union. He then quit photography and return to drawing and painting.
Reflection:
Henri Cartier - Bresson being known as the godfather of street photography is someone whom I look upon to. I enjoy taking street photography as we just take whatever that attracts our attention when we are moving, be in a moment or situation. The different elements he has in his pictures make his images even more interesting than it seems. Street photography may be easy as we do not have to plan a location or special lighting but what makes it difficult is in the skill of making your photos stand out. I think learning from his photography style.
“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.”
