Henri Cartier-Bresson was a french photographer who considered himself as more of an artist than a photographer. He was really the leading man of Photographic Journalism. But also the God Father of the "Decisive moment" He was described as a stalker or persuer of theese moments. One of which is now considered one of the most iconic photos in history.
His image 'The Decisive Moment.' is seen not as a lucky shot but a moment whe all the elements came together at the right moment were captured on camera. His 'theme' as such carries on through out his work such as with his picture "One step at a time" where he captures a man on a bicycle passing as he stands at the top of a winding stairwell.
Theese pictures are not set up or organised, it was is more of a matter of looking through the lense and pressing the shutter at the right time and capturing that moment. Heri's are considered iconic. Even the objects seeming to have mean, such as the broken hoop in 'the decisive moment.'
