Henri cartier bresson, French,1908-"Everything in the world has its own decisive moment. For me, the camera is a sketch book, an intuitive and spontaneous tool. In a jargon, it dominates the moment when doubts and decisions coexist. In order to give meaning to the world, photographers must feel that they are closely related to what they see in the lens. "

Since 1930s, his aesthetic theory of "decisive moment"-the moment to reveal the essence of things, and his aversion to "arranged" photos and manipulating the environment have greatly influenced photographers.

He once said, "I learned to observe from some early movies."

He wrote: "First of all, I am eager to capture the whole essence of the situation in front of my eyes with a photo ... Taking a photo means recording-at the same time, in a fraction of a second-the fact itself and the visual form are closely organized, and the form will give it meaning. This is to put people's heads, eyes and hearts on the same axis. "
