The influence of Bresson's achievements

Bresson believes that photography bears an important social responsibility, and every photographer should have a deep sense of dignity and realize that no matter how brilliant the picture is and how sophisticated the technology is, if it is far away from love, understanding of human beings and cognition of human destiny, it will definitely not be a successful work. Bresson's ideas are lofty, but the materials he chooses are usually very small. "In photography, the smallest thing can also be a great theme." Therefore, his lens is aimed at people and things that we can see and know in reality. It is he who makes us discover that there is beauty and affection in this habit. Boys (1958) embody this style. Its theme is not great, but it is a famous work by Bresson. A boy walked home with a big bottle in each hand, as if he had completed a glorious and arduous task. The characters in the photo are very natural and real, showing Bresson's skillful capture kung fu.
