Henri Cartier Bresson-Photojournalism


Henri Cartier Bresson 





  • Photojournalism - Explain what it is. it was created during the second world war during the modern warfare in Europe. Robert Capa was also a photojournalist. 
  • Why is he famous? Bresson was a surrealist he took decisive photo's; like the picture of the man jumping into a puddle. Which was known as Europe jumping into the unknown.
  • Why is his work significant in Photojournalism? every photo he had taken he thought about how its going to be taken and it was a decisive moment in time which also all his photo's had a great meaning to them.They were about being in the right place at the right time. 
  • Find and upload to your blog some work of theirs
  • What Camera/Technique did he use. He used the Leica camera which was created in 1925. But Bresson could afford this as he had money and was known as a rich boy. He stalked his prey by waiting for the decisive moment. He had one of the first Leica 35mm rangefinders.

My Introduction To My Camera

Nikon D3100

The Camera i use for my photography is the Nikon D3100. This piece of equipment is important to my photography. This camera is great for the type of photography i do which is wildlife photography.It maybe only a 14.2 megapixel camera but it does the job. 
Also if i wanted to make a video, this camera is perfect as it has full HD Video camera. 






This image to my right is one of my photo's i have taken of a Pike i caught in February. 












In the future i intend to upgrade my camera but for the next year also this camera is perfect for what i need it for. It also copes in all sorts of weather; whether its freezing cold and snow or rain.
