Henri Cartier-Bresson
In this image we are looking at a street, we can see a staircase, at the bottom of the staircase we see a slightly blurry person on a bike. We know that Cartier-Bresson wanted to capture real life which relates to this image because he has taken photos of the action that happens on this street. I think he wanted to capture the real shadows and patterns that are present in real life that we can see in this image. He has incorporated the staircase to add a zigzag effect to them, the stairs shows the difference in height between the cyclist and the photographer. Henri Cartier-Bresson uses the decisive moment in his pictures, this is shown because he had to pick the right moment to be able to get the person on the bike in the shot at the right time. He was able to take the picture at the right time because if the biker moves forward or backward he with be out of shot or blocked by the staircase railings.
In this image we can see a busker and in the background a bus going past. This image shows main aspects of London by showing a red bus and a busker which you see a lot around London. It links to Henri Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment because I had to take this at the right moment to get the bus in the background. If I had taken it at a different time the bus would've been in a different position and wouldn't have filled the whole background. I wanted a motion blur because I felt like this would have a bigger impact on the image. Similar to Cartier-Bresson's image everything that is moving quickly in our images are blurred which gives a better effect to the image.
