This book makes me ask; "why was Henri there? Did he stand in that street all day for that image? Did he go there every day for a week when the light was good, waiting for something or someone interesting to cross his path? In the Gelderland photo...who are those 2 people and why was he there with them? Are they arguing? Are they strangers just passing...and how did he see that image coming? My point is this; the photos are the result of a moment/places that he found and captured. His compositions are elegant and sophisticated to be sure, i think his brilliance was in his hunting. how did he do that? What was he thinking? How did he know to be there over and over(wherever 'there' was..)? Films were slow then, cameras were clunky, you had to anticipate and see a shot before it was there and yet so many of his images have a spontaneity to them. Remarkable. Can you imagine what it would have been like to stand there next to him on a sidewalk in Italy and have him give a running commentary as a scene evolves?! Or this, imagine Henri taking you along on a street shooting session and making a youtube like the thousands we have today. For me the mystery isn't cameras or film or tech...it's what happens behind the eyes right before the shutter clicks.

I come from the era of film where shooting was bounded in 1, 12, or 36 exposures. You had to stand and watch and try to anticipate the moment. Often, one click was all you would get of the magic . Film, developing, and printing was expensive. I worked in BW because I could afford to do that myself. Shooting Kodachrome or color prints for anything but a special event, wedding, etc. was beyond my means. I could not have imagined a 30 fps camera, 1000's of exposures, and hoping that one picture would accidentally have the magic and justify the entire day. For todays shooters only the large format shooters approach the way we had to work.

@gohumberto Жыл бұрын

I agree. The obvious benefits of digital photography can't make up for the loss of the sheer anticipation of seeing your film printed. However.... I did recently put some Ilford HP5 through a 35mm camera. I found it very frustrating to be honest (and expensive). What really surprised me was how far Digital cameras have come in terms of sheer quality of output. I won't be going back to film, and my nostalgic trip back to 35mm reinforced that feeling. What I have done though is to buy a Fuji X100V. I turn off the electronic viewfinder and image review. I try to shoot without looking at my results until I get home. It gives me some of that 35mm film anticipation PLUS amazing quality results (when I get it right). Because I don't "chimp" the images, it forces me to take more care over each shot. For even more "fun" I will limit myself to 24 shots in a day, with no deletions. Just 24 contiguous shots, mostly bad, a few good. Just like how it was.

One thing that made Bresson’s photos beautiful and enjoyable was the subject material. He photographed in a time where today we find the photos more interesting because the subjects are unique and do not exist in our current time. I suppose you could try to replicate the photos but the subjects of back then were just far more interesting than todays subjects with their dress code and architecture being so different. Old Military war photos are also far more interesting than todays war photography because the subjects in old war photos are far more interesting as we do not see the uniforms or artillery anymore. Perhaps in another 30-50 years the future may appreciate our photos more as the world again will be different.

Thank you very much for this video about Cartier-Bresson. What you say about his mastery of perspective is true and very important. As he was also a draftsman and familiar with the painters of the early 20th century, he composed the images in a way that sometimes evoked the pictorial avant-garde of that time, which is unique among photographers. I don't know if he would have been as talented in color because stylizing in color implies thinking in color, as we see with Steve McCurry, Saul Leiter or Harry Gruyaert, the great Belgian photographer. As a French photographer, I grew up in the culture of what is called French humanist photography, and I think that if you like Cartier-Bresson and want to know more about this photographic tradition, it is interesting to know the works of Willy Ronis (1910-2009), Marc Riboud (1923-2016), and of course Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) who is probably the best known of these three photographers.

Oh yes, Cartier-Bresson! Not without reasons one of the best photographers of the 20th century. About lesson four: Whether Cartier-Bresson's pictures or those of Willy Ronis, Robert Doisneau or August Sander, we only know them in B&W and I think, it doesn't need more to understand the stories they tell us. To know how it could look like in gorgeous colors, I could recommend a look on to Steve Mc Curry. Your example of change a color image into a B&W is good to see how much B&W lives from the structure and the contrast. Especially in landscape photography. If you want to shoot B&W you have to think B&W. Mary christmas! TE

Thanks for highlighting the book. This is a nice introduction to his masterful work. I'm glad you chose to concentrate on his work from an artistic instead of technical viewpoint. Regarding B&W, I doubt more the 5% of the rolls I've run through my Leica M3 have been color, though I've run lots of color film through my SLRs. Whenever I photographed with the M3, I thought in black and white. Now I use Fuji cameras with their wonderful film simulations. I use whatever film simulation fits the scene, be it soft or vivid color or B&W. Almost all my street work is in B&W, usually manual focus with vintage film lenses. I've been at it for more than 60 years and I'm having as much fun as ever!

Saw a few here I’d never seen before even and many of them also had it. It’s definitely inspired me to try and use it in my own work, but it’s a lot harder to use than the rule of thirds! I’d love to see a video where you get into great users of other composition techniques, and how to apply them yourself like hcb.

Thank you for that. I think converting colour to b&w has only limited potential, because the images you look to capture in the first place will be quite different, depending on whether you seek a colour or b&w photo. For me personally, b&w works better unless the subject or theme of the photo is colour itself.

He said that color is much more difficult - he did study that a lot, and was aware on painting and which color you may use for the background etc pp - in his later days he was painting - you may google eg 'Henri Cartier-Bresson "A.S. Blouse Orange, 1984"' just as example.... for me it seems to be much more difficult to get a real good B&W, only converting color to B&W doesn't make the job .... cheers axel

Great video. I think that Cartier Bresson did do some color work when required by the magazine's he worked for but on his own he took some color shots but destroyed them. Henri was at a party with Wm Eggleston and Henri said that color was bulls... at which point Eggleston got up and left. Henri was deeply into painting and when I look at many of his shots I see a cubist or surrealist or a Cezanne painting first into which Henri has populated with figures. Also I don't believe in his Decisive Moment. A single shot can be very inconsistent with what went on moments before and after it. Henri is a landmark photog and his work very seductive but I'm not his biggest fan.

Marty, I use Fuji cameras and shoot jpeg and raw, though the raw files are almost always "safety negatives". The further adjustments within the B&W film sims allow me to fine tune the look with immediate feedback on the LCD. If you shoot Fuji, you can further influence the look of B&W images by changing the white balance settings. Try some adjustments using Kelvin WB, especially toward the low and high ends of the range.

I shoot B&W with all four cameras. If you go H1, I recommend getting one with the battery grip if possible. It makes the camera more bulky (but is easily removed if desired) because the H1 ungripped battery life is not long. The grip is pretty much needed for shooting video IMO. Cheers!

When you zoom in and out (or panning) in a video like this, you are changing the perception of the original image and the thought the photographer had to begin with. Just my personally opinion of course ;)

When showing photos of such artists you really should always keep them still and DO NOT move the "camera" in your editing software to try to create interest. These works are intended to be viewed as still images for a reason and it is also much more difficult to pick up on the subtleties of composition when the you change what is in shot. If you want to make a more interesting and dynamic video, punch up the writing and editing. Let the photos be what they are - stills.

Cartier-Bresson - at least occasionally - must have walked around taking photographs just for the fun of it, and, surely, not all of his photographs were masterpieces. What's become of those other Cartier-Bresson photos, the non-masterpieces?

I think Bresson is similar to Picasso, he became so famous that everything he made even a simple drawing on a napkin was highly praised. Personally I feel Bresson falls under the same category, even though some of his works might not be as strong they’re still revered by galleries and valued in a lot of money. I don’t know that’s my thoughts though …

@@TatianaHopper , thank you. That's an interesting thought.

@@TatianaHopper , Cartier-Bresson must have taken thousands and thousands of photos in his lifetime. MY guess is that the editors of his photography books simply had thousands and thousands of photos to choose from. :-)

MPB ist just to expensive and a rip off, especially for folks that sell used stuff. Be aware and look closely at images of things they sell. If a view finder or eye cup is missing or there is a dent - you get your product exactly that way.

Sorry but the question you are trying to answer "how would it work in colour", is pretty wrong. When you shoot in b/w you just think differently. It is required a different approch to the image, where lights, textures, shapes gives the dimensions. If you put colour in it, it will not work. Simply. Same with getting rid of colours to have a b/w image. It's simply a wrong exercise, if you didn't think the image in b/w in camera. Ciao

I think what she tried to say is maybe just think about how colour can change an image and what we can learn if we look at images with and without colour, that’s how I understood it at least as she did mention it’s a different experience and set of skills shooting with B&W 🤷‍♂️

T, I still haven't figured out how to enter the comp but I follow you here and on Insta and get so much from that. So let someone else have the giveaway :) As for B&W, I found that, like you suggested, converting some of my colour images to B&W gave me an idea of what might work in future images. I now try to see in B&W. Something to note is that many mirrorless cameras will let you compose a shot in B&W so you can get an idea what it might look like. Finally, sometimes colour can be a distraction. Anyway, terrific video as always. Merry Christmas.
