Hello steemian friends and welcome to the history of photography series , I was looking at the photography tag in steemit a while ago and I found out this community has so many photography lovers, but we don't really have so many educational and historical topics about photography here on steemit.

So I came up with the idea of making this kind of content every week to first help me to learn more about photography and famous photographers then share it for the peoples who love and care about the history of this medium, so I will introduce a photographer every week and select some of their work and this week's topic is master of Decisive moment : Henry Cartier berson

The Decisive Moment

For better understanding of decisive moment lets read this paragraph of person himself :“

he also has a great collection of portraits of famous artists and the trick is that you can some how see character of each artist in their portrait
