50 Minute Documentary on HENRI CARTIER BRESSON Pen, Brush & Camera

[@noahsamuelmosko]

- "What do you say to people who call you the greatest photographer of the 20th century?" - "Bullshit!" ...you have to love this beautiful man. He will always be the endless source of inspiration.

[@mikearnspiger9715]

that hit the nail on the ass...

[@kylemccourt663]

"I've always had my camera, except for shaving in the morning".... GOSPEL! The story of my life as well ever since attending art school in '94. I am still a daily film shooter and now as a high school analog film teacher, I am fortunate enough to be able to pass along the knowledge to our youth.

[@mikearnspiger9715]

nice to believe that analogue was with us and I too loved it...but we must move on and embrace all of the art that photography has available...analogue is a past tense...why not daguerre? go way back if you want to embrace the past...

[@bradleybunk6463]

There is something liberating about no need for batteries and charging. It is surprising how much can be accomplished with a roll of 36 analog frames.

[@dfg1999]

He was a humanist, surrealist, anarchist, Buddhist, artist, and a photographer

[@cliffdariff74]

Doubt he was a Buddhist.

[@emmanueltsI5]

He was indeed greatly influenced. Just check the book : interviews and conversations 1951-1998

[@ibanmayo2]

...and ruthless. Ask John Malcolm Brinnin and his experience travelling with Cartier-Bresson in the USA.

[@ChetanDodwad]

Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤❤❤

[@suzannabienkowski2033]

"Photography: it's an extension of the eye. It's like hunting, except we don't kill." What a wonderful quote... Henri Cartier Bresson.

[@igaluitchannel6644]

I didn't realize his English was so good.

[@brisbaneviews7551]

Some 13 years ago I discovered his work at a generous exhibition at GOMA (in Brisbane Australia) of some 260 of his works. Photography, films and documentaries. And I still don't understand, nor could I describe why, but his works still move me intensely in 2024.

[@Cyriljayant]

Amazing master and character of great photography. He is still living in every heart of us with his imaginary and inspirational photography.

[@GiannisVelegrakisPhotography]

It is true!

[@oscarzuluoneoscarsierra7034]

Agree 100 percent👍😊💐

A fascinating life! Henri Cartier Bresson also seems to have been a genuine, unassuming and nice man. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Henri

[@artintheraw]

Best ending every - what a lovely and humble man

[@indie8189]

I saved this documentary in my Photographers file and watch it every once in a while with great pleasure. It never failed to inspire me.

[@ldelcarmen]

When you have an innate artistic vision, the medium is truly just that. A medium to express and innovate; Painting, motion picture, music, photography. HCB’s trailblazing vision is one we have been seeing through and will continue to see through for a long time

[@alexmurray6515]

Thanks, Henri Cartier-Bresson by his legacy. French photographer (1908 2004)

[@lensamizprophotography]

wow, what really matters to me how down to earth he is. thanks for the great doc and that is going to help a lot with my work.

[@da1738]

A lesson in how to tell a story with a camera. Some incredible images from a very talented man!! Thanks for sharing !

[@MarkSmith-tb5wb]

Truly a man who mastered his art.

[@scott-ish404]

Before I got to hear the man talking, I had in my mind this conception of him from looking at his photographs. Now that I see how down-to-earth he was, everything comes full circle and I can see why he was, besides the celebrated genius, an incredilble human being!

[@aliffbasri9540]

One of the best documentary!

[@parisbreakfast]

The best interview with HCB. The top.

[@Kevin14henrY]

Photographer, Artist, Humanist #Legend. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@cjoe6908]

I love this person.

[@RoubenDickranian]

I just love his reply at the end, "bullshit". What astonishes me is how a single photograph inspires him to photography, Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika by Martin Munkacsi. From time to time I do film photography and I totally respect him bearing in mind, that you only have 36 photographs on a 35mm film roll. That is saying something.

[@orggagets-b9n]

a beautiful person. and saw life esp people as simply beautiful. of course at Photography school, I was taught ,told "CARTIER-BRESSON IS THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER.!!??. thank God I went on to discover Him for myself. here where he sais"BULLSHIT",reminds me of Bob Dylan. aah I'm happy that such joy came to our world. DOMINIQUE RUOCCO. CAPE TOWN XXXX SOUTH AFRICA

[@stephenmccarthy1391]

The joy when he saw Koudelka was lovely.

[@mikearnspiger9715]

Yes,...his last words show his immense humility..."BULLSHIT!"....to the question he is asked..."What would you say if you were known as the greatest photographer..." truly a man's man and a women's longing...

[@rdhphoto1]

Thanks for posting this bio fantastic he’s such a historic influence on photography if your a photog you should know who and what he is to photography. And this does just that. Now all we need is a Helmut Newton bio?

[@evelasq1]

This gives me ideas in my photography.

[@IMF_27]

Único e irrepetible, su sencillez y carisma sumado a un talento excepcional le otorga el nombre de maestro.

[@hokeypokeypo]

why was this video pulled down recently?

[@glorialombardi8211]

Such an amazing, influential photographer, a truly talented artist.

[@nickfanzo]

Photography is all about luck. If you invent an image or try to set up a photo, it looks so contrived and the beauty is lost. Carry your camera everywhere, because that luck can jump at you when you least expect it. It can be outside, in nature, in an urban street, at the deli, or even when you step out of your tub and you see your dog starring at you. It can be just your glasses on the kitchen table with the right amount of clutter near it. Doesn’t matter, but the luck must come to you. Don’t think about it being a good day for photography, or a bad day, just go out and wait to see that moment. If you force it and shoot things are random, they won’t be good The photograph finds you, it hunts YOU down, despite what you may believe. I think of photography like baseball. At first you have a bad batting average. You swing and miss all the time, you strike out. You can’t swing at everything. The more you look and wait, the more you will get a hit and your batting average will go up. Maybe you will get a home run...one day

[@nastynate838]

wonderfully written

[@sandroenriquez]

Great

[@TXGRunner]

Interesting BBC documentary from 1998. Too bad the transfer quality is poor as a great deal is lost as light areas are blown out and darks areas fade to black. That kind of ruins the appreciation of the pictures. Better than not online at all. He didn't pass away until August 2004 (age 95) so this wasn't just old film interviews put together. Amazing how one photo by Martin Munkacsi, Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika, changed his life, and street photography. How ironic the picture is probably the most censored famous photo with almost all published copies adjusted to turn the boys into mere silhouettes, losing all details.

[@dongha_stagbeetles]

Does anybody have the subtitle to this film?

[@whogogofd9240]

Henri Cartier-Bresson THE GODFATHER OF PHOTOGRAPHY 🙏🏼

[@anorderlyfashion]

Does anyone know the song from 15:11 to 15:30 ? Would really appreciate it!!

[@anorderlyfashion]

Again from 32:37 to 33:05 ...

[@citizen1163]

Why is noone walkng around holding bottles of mineral water in HCB's photos? Miracle that anyone survived.

[@patriciawheatley462]

I don't mind, but I do want to embed it!

[@tchidell123]

That is excellent that’s what I do. Hunt but with a camera !

[@suzannabienkowski2033]

Yes!!

[@TheJustonemore]

What had he done leading up to a photo.

[@firefighterps2]

I believe he was supported by family who were in the textile business.

[@dizzybuizzy9347]

I'm just wondering, who was capturing him, taking pictures?

[@gustavoaranda]

[@xxedgy_outsiderxx9978]

find out about him in life is strange

[@emeraldscorpio]

He was quite good wasn't he...

[@AndresRuiz-gs8vm]

You don't need the latest camera gear or lenses to take world class photos. #fact

[@inevitablecraftslab]

you just need to spray photos and then let the guy in the dark room sort them out and fix them for you like HCB did it ;)

[@mathieumorel448]

Great comunist, with a penthouse next to the Louvre...

"I notice you hate capitalism, yet you partake in capitalism. I am very smart." He was an anarchist.

[@fellshipgaming7922]

Can someone summarize this for me? I really don't want to watch it.

[@Oleg_K.]

Man acquires camera. Man takes photos. Photos are magnificent. He smiles. And continues. That's, more or less, it.

[@cameraprepper7938]

He was a good Photographer ! But today there are too much hype about him.
