Photo Journalism Part One

Henri Cartier Brassen
                                                    
In this lesson we watched a short film on Henri Cartier Brassen. He was the first person to take a decisive moment photo. It was taken in 1933 and it was of a man jumping over a puddle in Paris. A decisive moment is when a picture is taken within a split second of movement. You are trying to capture what is happening at the time.
We also learned about the Leica camera which was the first camera to have a lens where you can see everything happening from your other eye, because with other cameras the lens covers your eye and restricts what you can see.
