More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.
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
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
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
It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.
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
It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is nothing-it's life that interests me.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.
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
I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In every photographer there is something of a stroller.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept
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
Give me inspiration over information.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart.
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 photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
