Something I have become interested in learning more about is the decisive moment. I started to become interested in Henri Cartier-Bresson because while comparing my photos to his, I realized how staged my photos look. So far I have learned Henri grew up in Paris where he attended a small catholic school, Ecole Fenelon. Henri tried studying music but he lacked skill in that area. Henri's uncle was a painter and he introduced Henri to oil painting. Although Henri painted for a few years he eventually switched to photography.
