Henri was known to be the Godfather of Photojournalism, His work "transformed the face of photography" in 1925 using the Leica mk.I camera, with this, he created the greatest photo of the entire 20th century. Henri was an expiremental photojournalist, classed as the best of that era, and possible history. Henri was a rich man, which propelled him to buy the latest camera, allowing a picture to be taken in a fraction of a second. Henri was always know to be "Jumping into the unknown"
"stalker/hunter"
Decisive moment
-What happens in the perfect moment is what the decisive moment is, It's capturing that split second that is not to early or too late, just right at that one specific point in time or a realisation of a specific moment that gives an event an expression. Decisive moments "hold some truth" to the event of which the photograph was taken, just by getting it at the "right time" can show people what is really going on in the world. There is no lies in the case of the decisive moment, take Bresson's image for instance, it shows the man hopping the puddle, he's not just about to hop, or has just landed, he is in mid air.
Lieca Camera
Leica I was one of the first Leica camera's to be made, there were several prototypes before-hand such as the 'Ur-Leica'. The first model to be released by Leica in 1925, the camera that Bresson used to revolutionise photography, the Leica I. With this camera, it brought a whole new light into photography, being able to capture an image within seconds, unlike previous camera's such as a Speed Graphix, which would involve having to change filters etc. Another positive about the Leica is that it does not take a long time to expose.
