More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Nobody takes photographs, photographs take you.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
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
For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
As photojournalists, we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images....We pass judgement on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment. It is the only photo that influenced me. There is such intensity in this image, such spontaneity, such joie de vivre, such miraculousness, that even today it still bowls me over.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Only a fraction of the camera's possibilities interests me - the marvelous mixture of emotion and geometry, together in a single instant.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Give me inspiration over information.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
