Paris, the early home of street photography, continues to provide inspiration for photographers from all over the world. One of its earliest practitioners was Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French humanist photographer considered a master of candid photography, and an early user of small 35 mm still cameras. He pioneered the genre of street photography and conceived of photography as capturing a decisive moment. His work has influenced many photographers.

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotiv. — Henri Cartier-Bresson
