Henri Cartier-Bresson L'amour tout court Part1

[lehcaRiku]

How is his name pronounced?

[MrFernuti]

@lehcaRiku I want to know this too. I'm sure the "Henri" part is pronounced "On-Ree".

Two people were jealous.

I'm taking a photography class. I like to think I have good taste when it comes to the content of my images, but it's still amateurish. Do people like HCB already have the kind of photography gift that he has when they're born, or does it develop over time? His photography is just incredible!

[PeteZ28]

@pemchem It's a little of both. You have to have an eye for art, but like anything else technique takes time to develop. Just keep shooting and have fun!

[goinghomesomeday1]

@pemchem -- Hello - If you think that HCB is good, then have a look at Robert Doisneau. Personally I think Doisneau was streets ahead of HCB. I love B&W photography especially MF & LF work - my favourites are Robert Doisneau, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe and Ansel Adams. What camera do you use!

[MrPlaystationboy]

he invented street photography ...and he does it Realy realy well .



[SylvieEvin]

a great photographer with a great sense of humor, simplicity and love

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I'd be funny if he were to attempt Street Photography with a 8x10 view camera on a heavy tripod.

Just a thought, a funny thought.

[goinghomesomeday1]

@Morahman7vnNo2 - Hi, The early boys did it with LF cameras, not to mention using the wet plate system. Ah yes, they were the good old days! !LOL, No light meter, no shutter (remove lens cap and guess). It must have been bloody hell.

[goinghomesomeday1]

I disagree. Not wishing to be argumentative - he is more of a name than a photographer. In my opinion he was an over rated amateur with an attitude.

[makkein]

A photographer that's truly second to none--absolutely amazing.

who sings the song?

Great documentary, a fitting tribute to a great artist.

@ironkatia

In the beginning the music reminds me of GG - Glenn Gould.

Is the "GG"?

The mind of Bresson!

Is this photographic art @ 2:34!

Admittedly, some of his work is of interest from a retrospective view of life, but certainly not from an artistic nor creative percept.

Each photographer whether amateur or professional will have a particular style which is appealing to the individual mind.

When you take a "panoramic view" of the worlds famous photographers from the early days, I'm afraid, to me Bresson is not quite up there.

[goinghomesomeday1]

What is the difference between a “professional” photographer and an Amateur photographer! Is it the price of his/her camera or the creative mind. I have seen better and more creative shots taken by seasoned Amateurs. As I said previously, Henri Bresson was an amateur with an attitude. No offence intended to his fan's.

Longue vie à la photographie noir et blanc

[miliziametallica]

Unfortunately a lot of amateur photographers is trying to be like him, but..we see only banal moments. I say: "Look at Henry and then seel your photo camera!" LOL

Maravilhoso!1

HCB, An over rated photographer.

@kiribula

Hello - Not wishing to be argumentative - I have studied the work of HCB in my opinion for what it’s worth HCB was more of a name than a photographer. In my opinion he was an over rated amateur with an attitude.

HCB could not come near anything that Ansel Adams or FMS in photographic terms.

[kiribula]

@goinghomesomeday1 You sound more of a technician. Bresson was an artist and nothing amateur.

[goinghomesomeday1]

@kiribula

I came across HCB many years ago as he was attempting to do some nude photography on a beach. I watched in amazement at his shouting and arrogance towards the models. Arrogance is one thing but pig ignorance is another.

In my humble opinion HCB was as I said an over rated amateur with an attitude.

When you look at the work of FMS, Ansel Adams and Heather Angle and possibly one or two others (HCB is in third or fourth place.)

You are obviously a fan of HCB. But to me he was not great.

[ManicEightBall]

@goinghomesomeday1 "Not wishing to be argumentative..."

You are being argumentative. I don't know who FMS is, but it's silly to compare Adams or Angel with Bresson. They did different stuff. This is like saying landscapes are more worthwhile than street photography or photojournalism.

I think they're all great in what they did.

[goinghomesomeday1]

Bresson was a “flash-in-the-pan” in the photographic world so as to speak and a person with an attitude. He created an image of himself which people swallowed. I am not sure if you knew Bresson personally, however, you are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine, and, in my opinion he was nothing more than an over-rated amateur.

[goinghomesomeday1]

@ManicEightBall - No Sir, I am not being argumentative. I am stating my opinion. Bresson in my opinion was an over rated amateur with an attitude. If you have a differing opinion, so be it. I agree that the style of photography of Adams or Angel cannot be compared with Bresson, they are in a different league. As for FMS, none of us are perfect.

FMS, (Frank Meadow Sutcliffe)

Frank Meadows Sutcliffe 1853 – 1941 was an English photographic artist. "a real one"

No sir, you're a stupid troll. stop trolling and go back under your bridge.
