More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
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
Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In photography, the smallest thing can become a big subject, an insignificant human detail can become a leitmotiv. We see and we make seen as a witness to the world around us the event, in its natural activity, generates an organic rhythm of forms.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Everyone has got some preconceptions, but you have to readjust them in front of reality. Reality has the last word.
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
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
The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
It is by great economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Why do photographers start giving numbers to their prints? It’s absurd. What do you do when the 20th print has been done? Do you swallow the negative? Do you shoot yourself? It’s the gimmick of money.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In every photographer there is something of a stroller.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
