More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
I adore shooting photographs. It's like being a hunter. But some hunters are vegetarians - which is my relationship to photography.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
Henri Cartier-Bresson
For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In a portrait, I’m looking for the silence in somebody.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
You just have to live and life will give you pictures.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression... In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
They ... asked me: 'How do you make your pictures?' I was puzzled ... I said, I don't know, it's not important.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In every photographer there is something of a stroller.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
