The Decisive Moment is a
photographic aesthetic/ technique
conceptualized by the
French
photographer
Henri Cartier-Bresson
. It is the exact moment that all the
graphic elements
of a picture
come together
and the photographer takes the picture. Therefore, a photographer must be
ready at all times
and wait for this
moment of perfection
. Cartier-Bresson, who started out as a
painter
, was one of the founding members of
Magnum
. In his book,
The Decisive Moment
he wrote ""A
velvet hand
, a hawk's eye-these we should all have...If the shutter was released at the decisive moment, you have
instinctively fixed
a geometric pattern without which the
photograph
would have been both formless and lifeless." He photographed
Gandhi
on his
death bed
, along with a slew of other major world events. (http://www.icp.org/chim/bio/cartierb.html & http://photography.about.com/arts/photography/library/weekly/aa082399.htm)
