The decisive moment: Top 5 street photos by Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the original street photographers. I’ve picked out my top five favourite images. I’ll be referring back to these a lot so that we can look at the different things we can learn from them like geometry, cropping, contrast and timing.

The photos tell real human stories. For me, they are the benchmark for all street photography to aspire.
