Henri Cartier Bresson's creative technique.

Bresson is called "the reporter of human comedy". He photographed a boy who bought wine for his father in muftah Street in the Latin quarter of Paris with great interest. Holding two big wine bottles in his hand, he walked briskly, and his triumphant expression revealed the innocence and cuteness of a teenager. Even under the gaze of the girls in the neighborhood, and even some people made fun of him, he still held his head high and was full of optimism about life. He has many such works expressing children's innocent feelings.

Bresson believes that among all the expressions, photography is the only way to accurately fix the precise and fleeting moment. Bresson's capture skills are closely related to his photographic aesthetics. It should be clear that there are both connections and differences between creative techniques and some creative methods. Capturing and posing can create real or fake works, and the key lies in the photographer's ideas and aesthetic standards.

From 1932 to 1934, Bresson shot a lot of famous works called "the main theme of modern art" by Peter Gallas. He began to pay attention to some subjects selected by early French, Spanish and Mexican photographers. They not only pay attention to reporting and creating news hotspots, but also integrate instantaneous and ordinary life into a visual aesthetic feeling. His famous work "Lonely French Cyclist" and another children's work playing among the ruins all have this feeling.
