Initial Research: Henri Cartier Bresson

For my photo's I will be looking for solution similar to work of Henri Cartier Bresson. how he use a camera, how he finding a light, composition and facial expressions. He was photographer which very wide vision. Photo below show landscape but still witch the person. My photos will be a bit similar to this, I'm going to take a picture of a person from a slightly further perspective against an interesting background. I see on that photo shadows and nice composition, two objects from opposite sides and still landscape behind that. I like this photo because you can still see the weather and clouds. We can see 3 different strong colour's which give birth to the image into 3 almost different parts. That photo have amazing character , It captures the normal real life and duties of a normal person without lies and
 hypocrisy.

 Henri Cartier-Bresson he fastened on to "the role of spontaneous expression... and of intuition and, above all, the attitude of revolt". He is legendary for describing his instantaneous composition of a scene as "the decisive moment,"which he defined as "the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which gave that event its proper expression." (Mary Warner Marien: P256)
In my own work I will be looking some connections and research on the Henri Cartier-Bresson and i will be practice and explore further techniques and skills to inform my own work with photography and I believe this will help me be a better photographer. Definitely greats Photographer always they can give us something but we have to watch on their work and finding conclusions.

Individual Sequential Photography Piotrus

I created my own sequential shooting practice on my Samsung S21 Ultra. I decided to choose 2 objects, but I will focus on one and I calling that just "Candle". I created a set of contact sheets of all my original images and used online a contact images generator, please. I decided to choose a candle so I started working on it. Step by step I removed the lid of the candle. Then I lit the match and step by step I approached the candle to light it. Then, when the candle was lit, after taking a few photos of it burning, I decided to gently blow on the flame and extinguish it. When I managed to do this, I also took a few photos showing the smoke from the extinguished candle wick. My final sequence consists of 4 parts/photos     I have finished my project, I think that with more serious and larger projects, the effect will be much better. Overall, it turned out well. Below is an addition that I liked, so I just added it without comment.
