Photography is a Medium of Expression - A tribute to Henri Cartier Bresson

My idol and my favorite photographer is the late Henri Cartier Bresson who once said "I was never interested in photography. It's instant drawing, that's all." The man who devised the "Decisive Moment" was a master in his ways. He used to say, "The photograph itself does'nt interest me, I only want to capture a minute part of reality".

In a day and age where the technology drives everything. I am still learning that Photography is simply a medium of expression. What interested me in HCB's work, was capturing the decisive moment. Knowing, Anticipating and capturing the moment. Photography is not about picture taking but capturing moments as it unfolds. Anticipation plays a big part of photography. Patience goes the extra mile of creating a master piece from the ordinary. You can experience the magic in HCB photos below. All of the photos are copyrighted by Henri Cartier Bresson.
