About the author

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the "street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed.

[Paul H. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cartier-Bresson's best photobook, by far; it's always been so strange to me that he devolved into a mediocre Magnum staff photographer in later decades.

Classic, Paris of 1930s-40s-50s-60s...

[Gijs Limonard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exploring the classics in photography; feast your eyes on these works of art; not all masterpieces but plenty to go around to get you inspired. Many of these collections are long out of print; check out the Internet Archive (https://archive.org); many of the timeless classics are made freely available or after signing up, free to (digitally) borrow.

Un excelente trabajo de uno de los fotógrafos mas importantes de nuestro tiempo. El formato del libro sin ser demasiado grande tiene unas dimensiones muy adecuadas. Es perfecto para su lectura y disfrute en todo momento.
