15 Week Challenge - Shoot Like Cartier Bresson

15 Week Challenge - Shoot Like Cartier Bresson

For this weeks task we were asked to shoot like a amour photographer (Cartier Bresson). He is an artist who captures pictures of strangers, on the streets and develops them in black and white.


Artists Photographs

This image which Cartier took, shows an elderly man with a tea cup and his camera.  It could be interpreted as his two passions, and what he enjoys. This artists photographs are constantly taken in black and white, which helps bring more detail to his photographs.

This image which has been produced by the artist has a different appearance due to the subjects faces in the image. It makes the viewer debate what they are talking about, and gives an added interest to the image.

And finally one of the artists most famous photos which he has taken, This image strays from his  regular work...It shows a motion image which is slightly blurred, which allows the artist to show off the motion in the image.


My Own Photographs 

This image taken on the streets of Reykjavik Iceland, i have tried to follow the artists well known style of photographing unknown people. I loved how he was able to capture different personalities and cultures, through the eye of the camera lens. I have also made sure that my images are monochrome to add detail. 

My second image is of a tourist, who is photographing the well designed graffiti art which had been sprayed upon a local pub. With this image i tried to capture a different perspective of the surroundings which the man is in! With the man also taking a photograph, i feel it makes the viewer consider what it is he is photographing, meaning they look into the image with more detail.

My final artist image issuance again taken in Reykjavik, shows a local sitting outside a coffee shop having a drink,  With this image i liked how the image was so calm with it being taken in the city centre.
