Henri cartier bresson quotes about life

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul. The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever. You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment. Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience. Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. Your first 10, photographs are your worst.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality.
