I feel like we've been neglecting great photographers of late and so here is the fantastic Henri Cartier Bresson.
The big thing I love about Bresson's black and white photography is his ability to tell an engaging narrative. His images display emotive stories that are relative to the viewer. Panic, anxiety, loneliness, whilst also able to capture great images of warmth and love.
Bresson held the ability to reveal emotion in an encapsulating black and white photo.
My personal favourite image is the one at the top of the post. A man sharing a moment of loneliness or despair on the step of a pavement with a stray cat, framed by huge forbidding walls. It has it's own melancholic beauty.
I do also very much enjoy the second image, all those children peering down in a curiosity spiral. It too is rather beautiful.
