Henri Cartier-Bresson



Although it maybe a cliche to pick one of the 'Old Masters' as an inspiration, Cartier-Bresson was one of the first photographers I really 'got into'.
There's an element of spontaneity to his work yet it doesn't look rushed. The compositions are clever and often quite humourous. I found it hard to pick one image that inspired me and I couldn't find the ones I first thought of. (A stormy River Hudson and/or a moss covered boat in Ireland). I chose this because it demonstrates the photographers ability to create clever images.
