漢清講堂 189 簡介 Henri CARTIER-BRESSON (1908-2004) 2017-09-05
亨利·卡蒂埃-布列松 (Henri Cartier-Bresson) 經常被稱為“現代新聞攝影之父”,他因其捕捉日常生活中轉瞬即逝瞬間的革命性方法而聞名。卡蒂埃-布列鬆的作品和哲學與他心愛的徠卡 M3 相機緊密相連,他在整個職業生涯中都廣泛使用這款相機。黑色塗裝版 Leica M3 成為了他的首選工具,讓他能夠以不引人注目的方式工作,同時以無與倫比的精度捕捉自發的瞬間。他的哲學被概括為一句名言:“對我來說,相機是一本素描本,是直覺和自發性的工具”,揭示了他與攝影的深厚聯繫,攝影是一種基於直覺和抓住瞬間的能力的藝術形式——一種本質這成為了他的風格的標誌。
卡蒂埃-布列松能夠捕捉他所描述的“決定性瞬間”,這徹底改變了 20 世紀中葉的新聞攝影業。他的徠卡 M3 相機讓他能夠快速而謹慎地拍攝,這對於經常處於快節奏、不可預測的環境(從政治事件到街景)的藝術家來說是一項必不可少的功能。卡蒂埃-布列鬆的照片遍布歐洲、印度和中國,捕捉了人類情感的複雜性和日常生活的微妙戲劇性。 M3 的測距裝置使卡蒂埃-布列松能夠不受大鏡頭的干擾而對焦,這使他更容易不被注意,從而可以自然地拍攝到他的拍攝對象。這種技術精湛與對人性的直覺掌握的融合,產生了攝影史上一些最具代表性的圖像。
亨利·卡蒂埃-布列鬆的徠卡M3 已成為新聞攝影黃金時代的代名詞,尤其是他參與了1947 年共同創立的瑪格南圖片社。形式記錄歷史的理想之上,與卡蒂埃-布列鬆的精神產生了深刻共鳴。他的作品為後代攝影師尋求以同樣的即時性和真實性記錄歷史奠定了基礎。如今,他的徠卡 M3 和他永恆的照片繼續激勵著世界各地的攝影師。卡蒂埃-布列鬆在照片中對光線、構圖和人類互動的掌握,仍然是視覺敘事的永恆教訓——頌揚了透過相機鏡頭捕捉現實的力量。
Henri Cartier-Bresson, often referred to as the "father of modern photojournalism," is renowned for his revolutionary approach to capturing fleeting moments of everyday life. Cartier-Bresson’s work and philosophy were deeply intertwined with his beloved Leica M3 camera, which he used extensively throughout his career. The Leica M3, a black paint version, became his instrument of choice, enabling him to work in an unobtrusive manner while capturing spontaneous moments with
unparalleled precision. His philosophy, encapsulated in the famous quote, “For me the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity,” reveals his deep connection to photography as an art form that’s grounded in intuition and the ability to seize the moment—an essence that became the hallmark of his style.
Cartier-Bresson’s ability to capture the “decisive moment,” as he described it, revolutionized photojournalism in the mid-20th century. His Leica M3 allowed him to shoot quickly and discreetly, an essential feature for an artist who was often in the midst of fast-paced, unpredictable environments, from political events to street scenes. Cartier-Bresson’s images, which spanned across Europe, India, and China, captured the complexity of human emotions and the subtle drama of everyday life. The M3’s rangefinder mechanism enabled Cartier-Bresson to focus without the distraction of a large lens, which made it easier for him to remain unnoticed, thereby allowing his subjects to be photographed naturally. This blend of technical mastery and an intuitive grasp of human nature produced some of the most iconic images in photographic history.
Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Leica M3 has become synonymous with the golden age of photojournalism, especially with his involvement in the Magnum Photos agency, which he co-founded in 1947. Magnum’s mission, founded on the ideals of capturing history in its most authentic form, resonated deeply with Cartier-Bresson’s ethos. His work paved the way for future generations of photographers who sought to document history with the same immediacy and authenticity. Today, his Leica M3, along with his timeless images, continues to inspire photographers around the world. Cartier-Bresson’s mastery of light, composition, and human interaction in his photographs remains an enduring lesson in visual storytelling—one that celebrates the power of capturing reality through the lens of a camera.
