Unit 4 Activity 1: The Decisive Moment


Photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1933 Spain)

Henri Cartier-Bresson is known for capturing the decisive moment, which is part of the reason he is so well regarded. In this image above, children are playing happily in an alleyway, but the most significant part is that he has captured the moment when play is at its peak. The children look as if they will jump out of the picture and resume their game right in front of you. Henri has a knack for taking a picture at the exact time when you get the most feeling out of a scene.
