More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Give me inspiration over information.
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
It is by great economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
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
Photographers deal in things which are continuously vanishing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
This recognition, in real life, of a rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography composition should be a constant of preoccupation, being a simultaneous coalition - an organic coordination of visual elements.
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
Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
One eye looks within, the other eye looks without.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The camera is for us a tool, not a pretty mechanical toy ... people think far too much about techniques and not enough about seeing.
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
It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
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 appears to be an easy activity in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is in the instrument.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
