Iconic Photographer Photo Project

The photographer that I choose was Henri Cartier-Bresson. Henri is known for his deceive moment or candid photographs. Henri was a street photographer. Street photographer or candid photography is the act of capturing unplanned photos in public places. This is what Henri Cartier- Bresson was famously known for.

The reason that I like Henri's work is because it captures raw moments or people in their true element. When we are taking pictures we often fake a smile contrary of how were really feeling. Capturing people in their element shows exactly how they feel at that time or place.

Candid photography is also really interesting because it evokes many thoughts, feelings, and emotion. If you see a candid of a group of friends talking you might wonder what they are talking about, or if you see a candid of a man helping someone in need. Candid or street photography in other words keep the viewer interacted or asking questions and that why I appreciate Henri Cartier-Bresson' work.

These are the three pictures that I decided to recreate from Henri Cartier-Bresson
