Bresson’s ideas on how compositional elements can come together in a decisive moment mentioned how he studies or observes the composition prior to shooting. The background can have sharp lines and shape and a subject that for examples slouches and doesn’t have the similar shape in movement at the background won’t compliment the other elements in the picture. Features such as wrinkles even provide an interesting element to the picture which is something most people would be embarrassed by.

1.Dawoud Bey found his voice through the camera and pictures from his handicap of loss of hearing. With that in mind he is able to compensate through how he views the world. He had a project called “Night Coming Tenderly Black” that focused on the time of the Underground Railroad. There were no subjects in the photos just dark landscapes. He wanted the viewer to see through the eyes of the fugitive slaves moving through the landscape through the dark landscapes. Although you cannot see the slaves or the railroad he wanted to make “the invisible, visible” for the viewer.
