Henri Cartier-Bresson

              Photographers today continue to learn from Cartier-Bresson and apply his technique to their photographs. Here are a few suggestions for incorporating Cartier-Bresson's approach into your own photography. Carry a small camera with you at all times, so that you are always ready to capture a spontaneous moment. Put yourself in situations where you feel an emotional connection to the scene. The more connected you are, the more powerful your pictures will be. Shoot images every day. This may seem obvious, but the more you shoot, the better you will get at sensing the perfect moment to click the shutter. Shoot black and white film, or set your digital camera to the black and white setting. Play around with angles and composition in your photographs. Cartier-Bresson's images were often off-center, shot from unexpected angles.
