Henri Cartier-Bresson

The decisive moment i feel is important in all photography shoots, even editorial, especially when you want to catch what the person is doing. often a photo that does not feel staged can come out better, then a photo that does feel staged.

The Decisive moment

Regarded as one of the greatest photographers of his time, Henri Cartier-Bresson was a shy Frenchman who elevated "snap shooting" to the level of a refined and disciplined art. His sharp-shooter’s ability to catch "the decisive moment," his precise eye for design, his self-effacing methods of work, and his literate comments about the theory and practice of photography made him a legendary figure among contemporary photojournalists.
