I'm Frederik Trovatten and this was my "How to take photos like Henri Cartier Bresson". I hope you enjoyed it: trovatten.com/henri-cartier-b...
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer who lived from 1908 to 2004. He is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of photography and is often referred to as the "father of modern photojournalism."
Cartier-Bresson began his career as a painter, but soon turned to photography as his medium of choice. He is best known for his candid and spontaneous images of everyday life, which he captured with his camera on the streets of Paris and other cities around the world.
His style was characterized by his use of the "decisive moment" - that fleeting instant when all the elements of a scene come together in a perfect composition. He was a master of composition and geometry, and his images are known for their balance and elegance.

Frederik, I watched this video with interest. I had a fascinating interaction with H C-B. I did a lot of street photography inLondon and on Euro trips in the late 1980s into the 90s and, while I greatly admired Kertesz, Koudelka, Doisneau, Ronis, and Erwitt et al, H C-B was my idol. I used a Leica with B&W film. I noticed a discrepancy in one of his photos, the one with the children playing in the rubble of a ruined house in Spain (I think Seville?). In one of the photo books (I think the Aperture series - I'm can't remember now, all my books are in storage) there was crack in the wall at front on the right. But I was sure I had seen this photo without the crack. I went to the V&A museum print room and, sure enough, the print in their collection had no crack in the wall. I was a journalist at The Guardian and wanted to ask him about this for a possible story to be published so arranged with an agent to speak to the great man. This must have been in around 1990 and he was getting rather old. When asked about the "missing crack" he said the negative had been damaged when a friend kept many of his negs in a biiscuit tin under a bed during the war. At some point the crack on the neg had been repaired, he said - but he was clearly uncomfortable talking about it in terms of the original having been manipulated. I kept trying to ask more questions about it for the story and he kept switching to talking about his sketching which he said was now his passion. He seemed embarassed about the issue and I did not want to discomfit my hero any further. He told me that he hoped I would not have the story published and ended the phone call quite abruptly! I wrote the story but never put it forward for publication out of respect for his wishes. Anyway, keep up the good work with your How Tp Photograph Like... series. I love seeing you have the same passion for the great pioneers of our craft as I once had!

I'm sure there are many among the famous (and infamous) who are discomforted by journalists' questions. After so much groundwork, it seems a shame you abandoned an important story simply because Cartier-Bresson was a personal hero. Were your ethical standards compromised by this decision? And does your KZfaq revelation mean you now regret giving in to his demands?

@@gregwardnz It's a good question, Greg.First, I don't regret my decision not to publish. My interest was piqued by the idea that H C-B, whose philosophy was never to change the original image either by cropping or any other form of manipulation, might have made an exception for the "crack-in-the-wall" photo. However, the reason he gave - that of the neg being cracked while being handled roughly during storage, suggested that the crack was "painted" over simply to restore the photo to its original form. So I thought that was interesting but not revelatory enough to warrant going public with it. It is true that I was somewhat star-struck while doing the interview and felt a little sheepish about upsetting him with my questions but, in the end, the question was whether H C-B had broken his policy of never tampering with the original image and my decision was that he had not. I put it out here because I thought it would be of interest to devotees and followers of H C-B's photography but if I had to make that decision now, 30 years after the interview, I would definitely still make the decision not to publish!

@@fredhatman Thanks Fred. I note you wrote the story, so you must have thought it worthy of publication. In your original post you say the only reason you withheld the story was to avoid upsetting your hero. The reason given for the crack repair sounds genuine. But it doesn't explain HC-B's anxiety and discomfort. I'm still wondering why he would ask you not to publish details of a seemingly minor event?
@fredhatman
@fredhatman 3 жыл бұрын
@@gregwardnz I can't really answer that, Greg. He was quite cranky on the phone call and kept wanting to steer the conversation away from photography to his sketching which he said he was much preferring to do. He was pretty old at that time - I haven't worked out how old - and I just remember him saying there was no story to write about "The Crack" - and I thought he was right aas there was no evidence he had deliberately asked that the photograph be manipulated to be something other than what he had seen when he pressed the shutter. it's just interesting that in some books the photo appears with the crack in the wall and in others (certainly the print I saw at the V&A) it doesn't.

As a mainly film photographer for 15 years I never really took the time to study other photographer's work or much of photography theory outside of rule of thirds, golden ratio. Maybe I can finally call myself a photographer now that I have learned a little bit about Henri Cartier-Bresson. I love that you're always learning and growing and never acting as the absolute professional. We all have room for growth.

In college Henri was my muse. We were allocated 4 rolls Tri-X per week and one roll of Ektachrome. During the Paris riots he shot a minimum number of photos over 4 days, but each one told a story and was used in Paris Match... other photographers would shoot thousands of frames with their motor driven Nikon Photomics or F’s.

Several of his famous photos were shot with a 35mm or a 90mm, which he also carried. He preferred overcast days as he didn’t like photographic “effects”.

When I teach photography classes I try to emphasize how important composition is. Include that with that one moment of expression that helps tell you about the person or the situation and you should get a great photograph. As a photojournalist there was always a moment that would tell a story. That picture would represent a million words.

I did a lot of photojournalism while working on the base newspaper in the U.S. Air Force. The class I took before heading off to my next base taught a lot about composition.

@@jayfromaz : Just keep looking at photos of people, places and things and you will get the hang of it. Some people can draw, some can't. In photography, you can. There are simple rules to follow. Try a subject, a girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, child and just have fun messing with them. Have them do things you would consider crazy, like making faces, pouting, smiling, dead face, tilt up, tilt down, just anything and laugh. Look at the pix on a good size monitor and see what you come up with. Sorry I can't remember the rules, but you can find them on the web. I learned this stuff around 1976 and spent the next 10 or so years photographing everything from people to airplanes in the Air Force, working on the base newspaper. Lots of practice, lots of choosing and criticism. Eventually I got the knack. What I find is that when friends and family, having them do crazy things, like sticking fingers in ears and giving me a funny face is really fun. You learn to bring life to a subject. Kids are even more fun. Catching them in the act is rewarding. I got one of my grandson with two deflated balloons hanging out of his mouth and looking very serious. I will keep that and threaten him exposure when he is much older. Since you are using a digital camera, you are not wasting film and expending money of development. Consider that a plus. A reason for photography is keeping a visual record of life. It will become more valuable as time goes on. I will always have a photo of me at the DMZ between North and South Korea. That's why you should shoot.

12:20 Sigma's new fp and fp L cameras have a whole host of framing options, and one which is unique to their system may be the Golden Ratio, I think. It's called 'A' and refers to a ratio with the square root of 2 just as is found in ISO standards of A4 paper and A1 film posters etc. I think that part of the idea is to print onto A3/A4 without any waste. I'd really like to try it.

I didn’t know that HCB used composition as we always hear about the decisive moment. Thanks for telling me about something new about him.

Nice one, the thing that makes him so good with composition is that the horizon is never or almost never there. There is no infinity, it's all there, no horizon!

One of your best videos. I am a big admirer of HBC, but your then and now guard photos made me smile the most. Someday, I will visit Copenhagen.

Very nice video! Henri Cartier-Bresson is a very good photographer, but you should keep in mind the following ... 1) He has been working professionally in photography for almost 40 years. So he took pictures every day and traveled to various locations, which gave him a lot of opportunities. When you keep that in mind, he doesn't have that many good photos (quantitatively). 2) In his time, the competition was far less, fewer people were involved in photography at all, let alone professionally. It was easier to become famous and travel even more (some research says that in the first 2 years when the camera appeared on the mobile phone, more photos were taken than a total of 100 years before). Today, people are oversaturated with images. As a result of the large number of people involved in photography, the criteria have fallen sharply. I believe that today there are as many good photographers as Bresson, if not better ones, who have a "top image" almost on a daily basis or at least on a weekly basis, and they will remain complete anonymous in the sea of ​​photographs ... PS just be your own. My biggest compliment was when someone said "I knew it is your photo"

It would be interesting to do an artist like Matisse or Picasso, how would you photograph like they paint for instance? David Hockney's photograph collages were interesting and show how he saw things...

Just an idea: Before becoming a photographer, HCB studied painting. Perhaps if we studied those master painters work (like Poussin), we could try to guess how those influenced HCB.

I won one of these courses a couple of years ago and chose Joel Meyerowitz, still not got around to doing it. I think that due to being in Lockdown and “Shielding” most of last year and from December to April this year gave me so much time but got me so low I just didn’t want to do anything. I’ll get around to starting it properly soon
