Bresson's instantaneous theory

The Decisive Moment was created by French photographer Cartier-Bresson in his photo collection Decisive Moment. The concept of photography aesthetics put forward in the book, especially through snapshot, summarizes decisive things in a very short fraction of a second and expresses it with powerful visual composition. Famous photographers of Bresson's time, such as German photographer Dr. Eric salomon, British photographer Bill Brandt and Hungarian famous war photographer robert capa, also appreciated the idea of snapshot photography. It has become the most effective means of news photography. I'm not interested in processed or directly taken photos ... The camera is a sketch book, a tool for intuition and spontaneous reaction, and an immediate control over my doubts and decisions. In order to give meaning to the image, the photographer must feel that he is involved in the viewfinder to get something ... The photographer needs to rely on extremely simple methods to achieve simple expression ... He must always adhere to the greatest respect for the subject and himself! "In photography, the smallest thing can also be a great theme." Bresson put forward the most famous viewpoint of "decisive moment" in photography history. He believes that everything in the world has its decisive moment. He decided to capture the moment of ordinary life with the photographic style of decisive moment, and grasp the appearance and connotation of things in a very short time to make them eternal. This is the case with Marilyn Monroe. Bresson accidentally captured this photo of Monroe. From this frozen moment, people saw that Monroe was born with beauty and refined manners.
