For my essay I will focus my attention on the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.

In the introduction, I will discuss documentary photography and explain the artist references I have used and am inspired by for my project. I will also describe the intentions of my study, what I will be investigating and how I will do so.

I will then go on to talk about some historical context which links with my study, in this case, Henri Cartier-Bresson and the decisive moment.

Also, I’ll include a more detailed explanation of one or more of my chosen artists, interpreting their work and pointing out how my project is inspired by theirs.

Finally, I will conclude my essay, surmising my projects intentions, and drawing in similarities and differences between the artists’ work and my own.
