Henri Cartier Bresson

- Why is he famous
   He captured decisive moments in life and his most famous shot was the photo in Paris, where a man is jumping into a puddle and Bresson captured it the moment as he was about to land into it. Also that shot represented Europe jumping into the unknown as the man representing Europe. Also he is the 'God Father' of decisive moment and changed the ways of photography.


 


- Why is his work significant in Photojournalism?
    Because he captured the decisive moments in life and would get into a position where there wasn't life but then waited for life to come to him

Starting Photography at Crawley College will be a new experience to me from last years Photography lesson. Last year I studied portraits and landscape photography and ended up getting a C for it, but this year should be an exciting year. Using Photoshop to improve or add detail to the photo, but this year I still want to continue studying portrait's as it's an interesting topic to do and it can produce inspiring images. I used a canon 600d as my camera last year and i produced some great shots from it.
