Photo Journalism

Henri Cartier Bresson was one of the first successful photo journalists and is considered to be the grandfather of modern photo journalism. he used the leica camera, this enabled him to look through the lens of the camera with one eye and see the world with the other, because the camera had the lens situated on the corner of the camera instead of the middle.

photo journalism is another way of telling a news story, the up rise of photo journalism coincided with the second world war so there was a lot of wartime images.

deceive shots are shots that if you would have taken the picture of the same image a couple of seconds before or a couple of seconds after, it would not have had the same effect.
