"Henri Cartier Bresson, Hyères"
1932, Gelatin Silver print
Candid photography is a type of photography where one capture an image without the subject posing. Henri Cartier Bresson mastered this style. Henri Cartier Bresson photograph where influenced by Cubism and Surrealism. One of the many reason I choose this photo was the fact that the subject is blurred out while the foreground and background are in focused. This photo captures the essence of movement in the photo by having the subject blurred causing one to feel like they are moving themselves out of the picture as well. Or chasing the subject that is in motion. I find the composition astonishing. How the lights and shadows causing the ground and wall and stairs to have texture in the photo. This photo reminds me of the importance of the moment. Many times, one does not stop to enjoy a moment going through the motions not realizing the valuing of the moment.
