Artist Entry #8

Henri Cartier-Bresson






Henri was born in France in 1908. He is known around the world for his exploration of the "decisive moment". His images captures subjects right about to carry out, or readily in a certain action. Many of his images seem to carry the same tension within the photograph, and are details of human life. He was a snap shooter, and always used available light. He stopped taking photographs in the 70s, and devoted the rest of the time to painting and drawing.
