More quotes by 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
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
Photographers deal in things which are continuously vanishing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.
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
Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Give me inspiration over information.
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
One eye looks within, the other eye looks without.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson
You just have to live and life will give you pictures.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In order to give meaning to the world, one has to feel oneself involved in what he frames. This attitude requires concentration, a discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry.
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
Of course it's all luck.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I love painting. As far as photography is concerned, I understand nothing.
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
Nobody takes photographs, photographs take you.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
