Magnum Photographers

I have been looking at photos by one of the leading magnum photographers, Henri Cartier Bresson.
 

This photo is my favorite of his because the way he has framed the subject in between two large walls makes the subject look very small and powerless.
 
I chose this photo because I love the way he has used the water to his advantage to show the reflection of the running man. This also gives the photo a feeling of balance.

I like this photo because it captures death with the funeral car in the background, whilst also capturing two young children in the foreground, playing as if nothing is happening.










 This photo is another one of my favorites because of the perfect timing in this photo, as he managed to capture the cyclist just as he was in the middle of the gap between the railings and wall.








This photo stood out to me because of the surprise element to it. We are not used to seeing children with what we presume is alcohol, and you can see that from the expressions of the girls faces in the background that he has managed to capture.
