Photo by Henry Cartier-Bresson
Henry Cartier-Bresson says that a photograph must be taken during the "climax" of the scene. There is a decisive moment which shows the subject's emotion best, and everything falls into place. This image was taken just as Cartier-Bresson walked into the room unexpectedly. The people each have unique, one-of-a-kind expressions showing them just seeing somebody walk into their home. If he had taken the photograph seconds later, the subjects would have probably had completely different expressions, much less human than the ones they have in the photo. The expressions shown are true.
