Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was a master of candid photography and 35 mm format. He helped develop the "street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed. His inventive work of the early 1930s helped define the creative potential of modern photography, and his uncanny ability to capture life on the run made his work synonymous with “the decisive moment”-the title of his first major book. After WWII he joined Robert Capa and others in founding the Magnum photo agency, enabling him and many other photographers to work with magazines like Life.
