My Photographic Inspiration #3

Henri Cartier-Bresson. The Father of Photojournalism and 'street style' photography

I would do the man a great injustice if I were to ramble off my thoughts about one of the greatest photographers the modern world has known. Few famous, and not so famous photographers can tell you with a straight face that they have not heard of the man.

Here is one article I found at Photo-seminars that touches on every aspect of this photographer's life and his work. It encapsulates all that I could wish to write about Mr. Cartier-Bresson. A modern hero.

Here are my favourite photos of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
