Expression: "In every event in life, there is a decisive moment. When this moment comes, the surrounding factors will be arranged in the most meaningful and coordinated geometric form, showing the complete face of an event. This fleeting moment is a decisive moment. Photography is the ability to accurately grasp the most critical moment when all factors are perfect and fix this specific moment in this extremely short time. " This is the photography concept of French documentary photographer Bresson's Decisive Moment.
