“The personality and style of a photographer usually limits the type of subject with which he deals best. For example Cartier-Bresson is very interested in people and in travel; these things plus his precise feeling for geometrical relationships determine the type of pictures he takes best. What is of value is that a particular photographer sees the subject differently. A good picture must be a completely individual expression which intrigues the viewer and forces him to think.” PeopleThinkingFeelingsValuesIndividualForceDealsSubjectsStyleExampleParticularExpressionTypePersonalityLimitsPhotographyPhotographerDeterminePlusPreciseViewersIntrigueCartierIndividual Expression Author:Alexey Brodovitch
