Analyzing an artist

Henri Cartier Bresson–Street photographer

Analysis

Cartier-Bresson’s approach to photography was rooted in composition, spontaneity, and storytelling. He prefers black and white images that emphasized geometry, contrast, and balance. His influence on street photography was capturing a moment in motion while maintaining a geometrically organized composition and minding the surroundings. I like the style because it provides a realistic feeling to the audience by showing the decisive moments of individuals. I will adapt his style to my own photograph by capturing decisive moments of people walking or standing still in nature with their emotions or feelings.

Evaluate one image

This photograph represents a decisive moment of a man walking towards the middle of the road. It provides a peaceful and soft mood. The man is illustrated alone, so we could feel the loneliness inside his mind through his movements.
