Street photography as modern photojournalism, a form of art"Photography is a mirror of our times" - Aurel Virlan A lot has been written about the French photographer Henri Cartier Bresson, the parent of modern photojournalism and the one who raised street photography and portrait snapshots at a highly artistic level.
Among other photographers and photojournalists from all over the world, I am an admirer of this great artist's work, which has had a definite influence on my photographic style and techniques.
Jeff Ascough, the British wedding photojournalist, also talks about Bresson in his biography. |
