I'm Frederik Trovatten and this was my "How to take photos like Henri Cartier Bresson". I hope you enjoyed it: trovatten.com/henri-cartier-bresson/

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer who lived from 1908 to 2004. He is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of photography and is often referred to as the "father of modern photojournalism."

Cartier-Bresson began his career as a painter, but soon turned to photography as his medium of choice. He is best known for his candid and spontaneous images of everyday life, which he captured with his camera on the streets of Paris and other cities around the world.

His style was characterized by his use of the "decisive moment" - that fleeting instant when all the elements of a scene come together in a perfect composition. He was a master of composition and geometry, and his images are known for their balance and elegance.

Explaining to strangers that your portrait request is a photography exercise to help you improve is such a good approach. That might be the way I can work up the courage to try it myself.

Frederik, I watched this video with interest. I had a fascinating interaction with H C-B. I did a lot of street photography inLondon and on Euro trips in the late 1980s into the 90s and, while I greatly admired Kertesz, Koudelka, Doisneau, Ronis, and Erwitt et al, H C-B was my idol. I used a Leica with B&W film. I noticed a discrepancy in one of his photos, the one with the children playing in the rubble of a ruined house in Spain (I think Seville?). In one of the photo books (I think the Aperture series - I'm can't remember now, all my books are in storage) there was crack in the wall at front on the right. But I was sure I had seen this photo without the crack. I went to the V&A museum print room and, sure enough, the print in their collection had no crack in the wall. I was a journalist at The Guardian and wanted to ask him about this for a possible story to be published so arranged with an agent to speak to the great man. This must have been in around 1990 and he was getting rather old. When asked about the "missing crack" he said the negative had been damaged when a friend kept many of his negs in a biiscuit tin under a bed during the war. At some point the crack on the neg had been repaired, he said - but he was clearly uncomfortable talking about it in terms of the original having been manipulated. I kept trying to ask more questions about it for the story and he kept switching to talking about his sketching which he said was now his passion. He seemed embarassed about the issue and I did not want to discomfit my hero any further. He told me that he hoped I would not have the story published and ended the phone call quite abruptly! I wrote the story but never put it forward for publication out of respect for his wishes. Anyway, keep up the good work with your How Tp Photograph Like... series. I love seeing you have the same passion for the great pioneers of our craft as I once had!

In college Henri was my muse. We were allocated 4 rolls Tri-X per week and one roll of Ektachrome. During the Paris riots he shot a minimum number of photos over 4 days, but each one told a story and was used in Paris Match... other photographers would shoot thousands of frames with their motor driven Nikon Photomics or F’s.

Sebastião Salgado has to be one of my favorite photographers. He's the only one who's made me cry, more than once, with his work.

"What makes a good photography?" "I don't know..." H. Cartier-Bresson I like it, the best answer from the master :-)
