The Decisive Moment in Photography

By Yu Hung Lee

This book included my research and creative project critically re-examines the photographic theory first put forward by the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson in the early 1930s. In brief, this theory held that the photographer was an observer who acted without interrupting the subject or physically altering the scene being photographed. The photographer simply waited for a decisive moment to reveal itself to the photographer who then captured, and reported upon, this instant in time. As a photographer myself, I too have used this strategy for some years. I therefore invite you to have a journey with me and hopefully you can achieve your own Tao - the way you might forget before.
