Homework: Cartier Bresson

1. Research the photographs and techniques of Cartier Bresson. Watch this video. Who is he? What type of camera did he use? How did he take photographs? What is the decesive moment?

2 Print at least three Bresson photographs that demonstrate the concept we discuss in class today--framing, composition, balance, horizons, cropping, vectors, weight, diagonal/vertical/horizontal lines. Put tracing paper over the photos demonsrate the concepts above.

3. Find a photograph from one other photographer and do the same.

4. Experiment with your own photographs. Be sure to first state what your intentions are, then experiement, record everything and reflect on your work--what was successful, what did you learn, what would you improve.
