- Photojournalism - Explain what it is - I think photojournalism is when people send and give out messages through images that they have captured such as connotations that can be accentuated through these particular images. These images can be used to show stories or important news and they can all be depicted in various ways.
Henri Cartier Bresson -
- Why is he famous? He was famous because he captured some historical images at the perfect timing and was able to capture the decisive moment of each picture that he took.
- Why is his work significant in Photojournalism? His work was significant to photojournalism because in 1933 he captured the most familiar photograph within photography of a man jumping over a puddle in France which symbolized Europe jumping into the unknown. They were all also about life.
- Find and upload to your blog some work of theirs
- What Camera/Technique did he use - He used a Leica camera as he was one of the first people to get hold of this new piece of technology. However, now technology has much improved which somehow makes his work seem better as the technology of the camera back in the 1930s was not as advanced as the cameras of today.
