Henri Cartier is a street photographer,And was also a French humanist photograph and was soon considered a master of candid photography He started off within using 35mm  film. He pioneered the genre of street photography, and viewed photography as capturing a decisive moment. His work has influenced many photographer

He was born in France the youngest of 5,and was the son of a well known textiles manufacturer.His parents supported him financially so Henri could pursue photography more freely than his contemporaries. Henri also sketched. he also highly enjoyed painting as this inspired him for many of his works throughout  While also being highly involved in photojournalism and painting he was inspired as surrealist photographers such as Lhote’s “rule-laden” approach to art.While traveling around the world more he become inspired by different forms of art and artists and also even the people and environment that he was surrounded within. He was also captured by German soldiers which also inspired lots of his work within the suffering and journalism of war in which he was enraptured.

The Decisive Moment

This is a book in which the photographer wrote,whose English-language edition was titled The Decisive Moment. It included a portfolio of 126 of his photos from the East and the West. The book’s cover was drawn by Henri Matisse  For his 4,500-word philosophical preface. Within the book he is seen saying ‘ simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression.”

Analysis of this image:

I chose this image due to the the conceptual thoughts and also a clear representation of the artists own views upon war and suffering. There is a slight struggle i which to see weather the children are playing within the corruption of war and a socialist generation gap or another way to say how they are fighting and there is a clear demonstration of their won suffering.I Think the composition to the piece is highly interesting as it presents a clear direct line of view but is a symbol of war and a possible explosion that has occurred. It almost allows an insight into children’s life which is ironic how children are meant to be looked after and how the view into their environment is through a war ground.The straight line of eye is also used to exaggerate how to see this environment it is not heard and that mediation is used to cover what people not found within the western world are going through.It proposes many ideas which too would be interesting to use within my own work and how to document different unexpected areas in which i live that people pretend to be ignorant towards.

His contribution to MAGNUM magazine,Magnum is a website which allows many photographers to upload their images and show a sense of who they are,but mostly surrounding that of photojournalism.Many photos in which was inspired by people in his habitat and where he lived at the time.He also occasionally uploads images of his artwork onto this website which are effective and look very much as an inspiration to his photo inspired work.

To me his work is highly effective in ways of conveying a story within a relevance of the modern and earlier times within history. He inspires others and achieves many successful images which emote a sense of change or purely just expose everyone different environmental lives.

What is street photography?

Street photography is a type of photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places. Street photographs are mirror images of society, displaying unmanipulated scenes, with usually unaware subjects.

A candid photograph is a photograph captured without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved in many ways, for example when the subject is in motion, by avoiding prior preparation of the subject, by surprising the subject, by not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos.

What is street photography?

Street photography is documentary photography recording everyday life and society. It doesn’t always have to be in the street it can be in any public place. Street photography is also known as candid photography as its usually taken without the subjects permission. People usually feature directly in street photography but street photography doesn’t always have to include people and can be of an object or something in the environment.

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism which is surrounding the collection,editing and also and presentation of a public broadcast,This is done to  employ images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism.The objective of the photos is to be timeless,create a narrative and lastly create an objectivity and a conceptual though of why this image is of an importance. they need to be able to help communities and have an ability to connect with other people and be a sense of informative knowledgeable events.

photojournalism is very close to environmental portraiture and also candid photography.This is an ability to access information about important stories and a documentation of events surrounding your environment. This photography makes rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms.

photojournalism started off by being inspired by war photography in order to create an accurate illusion of war and so represent to to others the suffering and potential to prevent these wars from occurring.Due to this there was a large expansion of photography which soon inspired the Golden age: This is often considered to be roughly the 1930s through the 1950s. It was made possible by the development of the compact commercial  camera in 1925 and so journalist true flexibility in taking pictures.

To me photojournalism is all about telling a story that emphasis a sense of importance and impact into the world,It needs to bring a message of importance and have a relevance to the audience and the time to which it was taken.

Street photography - street photography are photos that usually contain random incidents in public spaces with the focus normally on people and their behavior - sometimes people may not be present, yet photos can be taken of environments where human activity is evident and can be recorded. 
The photographs don't have to be on the street or in an urban environment, they can be anywhere for example Martin Parr has taken shots on the beach that still come under this category because of the nature of the photos. https://www.martinparr.com/recent-work/
Street photography is almost always candid yet candid photography isn't always street photography.
A candid photograph is when the subject does not pose for the camera.
