Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was a French photographer; one of the most prolific ones in part due to his longevity. He is the co-founder of the Magnum Agency, an agency that promotes and encourages freelance photography. Cartier-Bresson is also considered a humanist photographer, having traveled to China, India, Spain, Russia and to the United-States. He is the father of 'the decisive moment', i.e., candid pictures. His 35mm light-weight and small camera allowed him to take these kinds of pictures. It also allowed him to experiment with different angles, as the ' Cardinal Pacelli at Monmartre', picture taken from above the crowd. As a true artist, his composition skills are displayed on his pictures. He is mainly a black and white photographer.
