Henri

Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 - August 3, 2004) was a French photographer. He was commonly considered the undisputed master of candid photography using the small-format rangefinder camera.

Considered by most to be the father of photojournalism, Cartier-Bresson exclusively used Leica 35 mm rangefinder cameras equipped with normal 50mm lenses or occasionally a telephoto for landscapes. Along with Robert Capa and other photographers, Cartier-Bresson founded Magnum, the first photographic cooperative, in 1947.
