Discovering Defining & Decisive Moments with Photographers Henry Cartier Bresson and Robert Capa
All art captures defining moments. They define aesthetics of all nature. Life itself is about defining moments. We all make choices that determine out different paths that we take. In art they are called decisive moments because they relate to a moment in time. In life we call them defining moments because that choice goes beyond decisive and defines who we are as time passes. To better understand these two dynamics I have produced two videos that both relate to decisive moments. One video represents the French photographer Henry Cartier Bresson and the second video is on the famous war photographer, Robert Capra.
Your 2 assignments: After viewing both videos, complete the assessment form at the bottom of the page, this is your first assignment. Your second assignment is to produce four decisive moment photographs using your cell phone. Turn the images into a black and white image using the saturation filter (turn the value to the left).
