Masters of Photography- Henri Cartier- Bresson

Henri Bresson was born in 1908 in Chanteloup, France. Henri mainly focused on taking pictures of people and he even ended up taking pictures in the war which were famous and even published in many magazines and newspapers. I think the way he discovered the hand held Leica Camera was consumed by the new art form really inspired me. He kept walking the streets, high strung and loved snapping pictures of reality. Manufactured or staged poses did not concern him much. While working on this project, I started to respect not even Henri, but all photographers who chose photography as their career because it takes a lot of hard work, time and patience to finally get that perfect shot you need. I took pictures of mainly my group members who were acting the way they normally do while I was shooting them.
