photo journalism

Application
Henti Catier Bresson was a very talent photo journalist also known as the god father of photo journalism he coined the term " the decisive moment" because the photos he captured were so precised down to the right second he all ways took the shoot at the right time never to soon or too late which showed a true meaning for the photo which was so apparent from his work, his first well known photo was taken in 1933 another key date is the date the leica camera was realised which was 1935
Robert Capa was the worlds greatest war journalist that ended up a celebrity because of his work he took a photo during the spainish civil war of a man getting shoot in 1936 he was known for droping in and out of war he also took a number of shoots of the world war 2 the most known photo's from that where down to him being on one of the first boats that landed on the beach he managed to take 4 films worth of photo but whilst they were being processed three and a half of them got destroyed.


Context

Techniques
the leica camera was a big brake through I'm camera equipment due to being rather compact which helped him taking shoot because it was much easier to carry around and pull up quicker to get the precised photo and it was a very quite camera which benefited the user because it didn't distract any thing during a shoot being taken but the most importation thing about the camera was that it was the first camera with the eye lence on the left which mean one eye was able to free look around instead of cameras before then having the eye lence in the middle which meant you were only able to see through the lence and not see from your own eyes due to the size of the cameras as well
