Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer Quotations

In every photographer there is something of a stroller.

Photographers deal in things which are continuously vanishing...

They ... asked me: 'How do you make your pictures?' I was puzzled ... I said, I don't know, it's not important.

I am neither an economist nor a photographer of monuments, and I am not much of a journalist either. What I am trying to do more than anything else is to observe life.

A photographer must always work with the greatest respect for his subject and in terms of his own point of view.

I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight.

It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
