description Henri Cartier-Bresson Overview

The father of modern photojournalism, Henri Cartier-Bresson mastered the art of the 'decisive moment.' His work is characterized by precise geometry and an uncanny ability to capture the essence of a scene in a fraction of a second. Using his signature 35mm Leica, he traveled the globe, documenting major historical events and quiet, everyday life with equal reverence. His influence on the medium is immeasurable, as he established the standard for candid, unposed photography that remains the primary goal for street photographers today.
