Photographer behind the Gare Saint-Lazare
One of the major contributions of Henri Cartier-Bresson is his work entitled “Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare,” which was published in 1932. It’s a simple photo of a man attempting to jump a huge puddle. Many have criticized the photographic work as technically poor, but given the technology at the time of its conception this work of art is a masterpiece. The major point, however, in judging photography is not the technicality but rather the commitment photographers demonstrate in the depiction of the expression of their subjects. This Cartier-Bresson executed perfectly. Other photographers around the world strive for this same commitment and there are milton keynes photographers who aim to do this.
