Henri Cartier Bresson was a french humanist photographer, he is often credited with being "the master of candid photography". Decisive Moment seems to be an appropriate term for his photography as his photos reflected his unique ability to capture moments where everything is interesting, or happening or compositionally perfect.

| Henri Cartier-Bresson This is one of my favorite images from him, I like the whimsy in the shape of the stairs contrasted with the severity of the kids expression. This one is different than a lot of his photographs as it's more obviously posed but, still is very unique and interesting. |
