Henri Cartier-Bresson by: Racheal Hoffman

Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in Normandy, August 22, 1908. He was a French photographer who used a 35mm camera for most of the pictures he took. He took pictures of human life, emphasized that life is not always pretty, but in every second it can be interesting. Henri Cartier-Bresson died in France in August of 2004. His amazing pictures will always be remembered and appreciated. Henri Cartier-Bresson had photographed some of the most famous people of the 20th century. These pictures always told a story. Henri Cartier-Bresson was known for his ability to captured in a photograph, a simple gesture, chance meeting, or mundane setting that could convey great beauty, tragedy or humor. He was influenced by the contemporary movement known as surrealism, which encouraged artists and writers to explore the meaning that lay hidden below the surface of everyday life. I like how his works appear to be simple pictures and yet it's almost impossible to look away from the image. Cartier-Bresson photographed the world with its many different emotions and different people. There was much detail in his photos, but I wish he had included more on nature. While nature appeared in his photos, it was background. I believe he would have been a more complete photographer had he brought nature to the forefront.
