Tell us a true story, we’ll give you a gift.
The first Monday of every month, we try to inspire you (for a week) with a new detail belonging to a gift that we’ll send to the best true story’s author. Every gift is chosen by the CCTeam and it represents our “Seelosophy”: what we do love and believe our community might love, too.
Gift:
Book “Henri Cartier-Bresson” by Clément Chéroux. 160pp in English; illustrated in colour and black and white throughout; first published 2008 in the United Kingdom by Thames & Hudson. | www.thamesandhudson.com
About: Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photography came to define the 20th century. This book tells his life story through his images: all the major events from his youth to his death in 2004 are described, contextualized, and analysed in the light of his photographic work. From his early encounters with the Surrealists, his film work and his experiences in the Second World War, to the development of his own personal aesthetic, the concept of the ‘decisive moment’, and the foundation of Magnum Photos, his influence on the world has been profound and unforgettable. Documents in the book include three of his own articles written for magazines; extracts from interviews; a selection of the short handwritten notes he liked to make about his work; and writings by fellow photographers such as Walker Evans and Robert Doisneau. | www.henricartierbresson.org

- Please, add the #agiftforatruestory_life hashtag only to photos taken by you over this week and only submit your own story.
