More quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Thinking should be done before and after, not during photographing.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson
I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant.
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
He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.
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
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
You just have to live and life will give you pictures.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In every photographer there is something of a stroller.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
