Henri Cartier Bresson (Independent Research)

This is some of the work of Bresson who is an amazing street photographer, who manages to create images that are extremely well timed and composed, the couple of examples that I’ve put up show that amazingly, just because of the fact that the timing he would have needed to get the guy jumping over the water, and going past that opening, must have been extremely hard, as well as that the fact that he did it all on film as well, know checking to see what the image is like and thinking the exposures a bit of I’ll shoot it again. I think this is why I like Bressons work so much just because of the things that can go wrong with it, with just the timing being hard to get, as well as making sure the exposures and every things right, but I also like it because it has a feel to it which makes it look really and upstaged, unlike the work say of Gregory Crewdson whose work is grate but you still get the feeling that it’s staged with some of the lighting and how perfect some aspects of the image are, but with Bresson the work seems really, whether it is or not I’m not sure but I feel in this case it might be better not knowing because knowing might detract from the amount I like the image.
