Henri Cartier-Bresson Talks Photography

Michael Zhang · May 23, 2011

Here’s a terrific 20-minute video that features Henri Cartier-Bresson — the father of modern photojournalism — talking about his views on photography and a selection of his amazing photographs. It’s both educational and inspiring.

The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.

– Henri Cartier-Bresson

If only there was one of these videos for every famous historical photographer!

This is fantastic, one of the most interesting posts you’ve put up here as it’s really made me think about what I do, and why I do it.

Amazing, inspiring video. Thanks for sharing. I had to keep pulling the time bar back to look at something again or hear him say something again. Brilliant.
