Photographic moments that capture compositional elements can add more meaning to any photo. While everything found is technically random its also a pattern which one can recognize. Establishing these relations is part of what Bresson finds to be essential to any photo. Bresson believes the difference between a good and a great photo is a matter of millimeters. He also believes that with each photo especially with a people, there must be a connection. That connection helps his and would help anyones photo to create a story which draws you deeper into the image. Which I think is necessary in all art, to feel some sort of a connection to whatever your subject is. Taking many photos or very few photos doesn’t matter but it is what you take instinctually that matters more. As he said that time is always moving he believes that instinctually photography vs thoughtful photography matters more and trying not to push for an image holds more significance. This is due to knowing when to capture the decisive moment and shaping the photo with elements like the texture, background, negative space, shapes are a few things that go into making this great photos he speaks about.
