August Challenge discussion - Inspired by the style of Henri Cartier Bresson

AB22 Easy Tiger · 31st July 2011, 09:32 PM

The first of our "inspired by" themes focusses on the greatest of them all IMHO, Henri Cartier Bresson.

Take a picture inspired by his style and post it on here before the end of August.

Apologies for the new format with the thumbnails, I know it detracts a bit but there's nothing we can do about it right now.

Have a look at Bresson's work and enjoy shooting.

I should add...

It doesn't have to be black and white, it doesn't have to be a copy of an HCB photograph, all it needs to be is something that HCB's work has inspired you to shoot.

Have a think, and enjoy yourselves.

May I make a suggestion? That for this month's theme that when we post our entry we post the HCB photograph that inspired us (be it a recreation, an idea, whatever) as well, so the rest of us can see where the entrant was coming from.

Happy for you to do that (indeed I'm going to make it compulsory for an upcoming theme) but I won't insist on it this month.

Might this cause bother for roger regarding copyright? maybe just a link to it rather than displaying the image?

Well if it is a problem then ok, no don't do it. But if you go on parsnip there are loads of pictures still being linked (it's allowed), they just come up small style, so unless we are asked not to, I would think it would be alright.
