Cartier-Bresson method

Henri Cartier-Bresson’s method centers on capturing spontaneous, candid moments that reveal the essence of a scene. He emphasized "the decisive moment"—the precise instant when all elements align to create a powerful image. Using small, unobtrusive cameras and natural light, he patiently observes to anticipate these moments. His approach combines keen visual intuition with a disciplined eye for composition, framing scenes instinctively rather than directing subjects. This method seeks authenticity and emotion, producing images that are both technically precise and deeply evocative, reflecting genuine human experiences in everyday life.
