The image above is titled” INDIA. 1966. IDIA. Rajastan. Jaipur. 1966. Market.” and it was taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1966. In the image, Cartier-Bresson captures a group of Indian women walking through a marketplace with baskets of goods held atop their heads. He was known as an artist who captured everyday moments in black and white photos, and that is exactly what appears here. He traveled the world, capturing the moments that he witnessed as he went along. He also spent time in and around Paris due to the fact that he was stationed there during his mandatory military service. Because of this, he was influenced by some of the finest artists that Paris had to offer. He also is one of the most well known photojournalists of all time. His choice of photography as a medium allowed him to instantly capture moments in a single image, something that is important for photojournalists because it allows them to tell a story visually.
