FilmAnalysis · 照片背后的故事

一本书,两个书名

从照片出发,读一段摄影史。故事和照片之间只是阅读上的联想,不代表照片的作者、相机或实际用的胶卷。

1952 · 摄影集背后的故事

1952 年 10 月,卡蒂埃-布列松的摄影集在法国和美国同时出版。

法文版叫《Images à la sauvette》,大意是匆匆抓到的影像。英文版用了新书名《The Decisive Moment》,由马蒂斯写在他为封面做的剪纸下方。后来,「决定性瞬间」几乎成了卡蒂埃-布列松拍照方法的代称。

不妨试试

在一个人来人往的地方停留十分钟,等一个你觉得「就是现在」的时刻再按快门。

「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习,不是史实。

One book, two titles

Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.

1952 · Behind the photobook

In October 1952 Henri Cartier-Bresson's book came out in France and the United States together.

The French edition was called Images à la sauvette, roughly images snatched on the run. The English edition took a new title, The Decisive Moment, which Matisse lettered under the paper cut-out he made for the cover. The phrase later came to stand for Cartier-Bresson's way of working.

Try this

Stay ten minutes in a busy place and wait for the moment that feels like now before you press the shutter.

"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
