Henri Cartier Bresson is a french photographer whose works helps to define the creative potential of modern photography. His works has influenced many photographers to be experimental and explore. He was inspired by an Hungarian photographer, Martin Munkasci.
I chose him because he experiments well with the usage of visual elements of shapes in his photographs. Henri Cartier Bresson uses basic shapes & geometry. With this tools, it would create a consistency in the photograph. The composition and the subjects looks very natural in the photographs even though it can be labeled as candid. As in the past,colors are not usually used and even with Black&white color scheme, we can sense the different emotions going through in the photographs.
I felt simplicity in his photographs. It might be overcrowded with many subjects in it. I think I can sense a solitude in his photographs as well. Reading through how he didn't just hold any thoughts to his photographs, I wonder why?
