The Giants of Humanist Photography

The two giants who have devoted their life to humanistic photography


Cartier-Bresson : "To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression." Cartier-Bresson: “For me, photography is a kind of instant confirmation: within a second, not only can you understand the importance of something, but also have to grasp the precise pattern that appears in visual form, and express things properly.”

Doisneau : “If I knew how to take a good photograph, I’d do it every time.” Duvano: “If I knew how to take good pictures, I could hand over a masterpiece every time!” 』
