Week 9: Henri Cartier Bresson on Manufactured Photography

“Manufactured” or staged photography does not concern me . And if I make a judgement it can only be on a psychological or sociological level. There are those who take photographs arranged beforehand and those who go out and discover the image and seize it.
Henri Cartier Bresson

Photojournalism as a Responsibility

“As photojournalists we supply information to a world that is overwhelmed with preoccupations and full of people who need the company of images….We pass judgment on what we see, and this involves an enormous responsibility.”
Henri Cartier Bresson
