For this exercise I used a black speaker for my black background and a white paper for my white background. Playing with the exposure settings on my phone allowed me to get my desired level of light for a truly black or white image.
Bresson believed that photography was about capturing the perfect, decisive moment. It was spontaneous, yet planned as he would sometimes observe his subjects for hours before taking his decisive shot. I believe this approach is very interesting and has merit in the sense that capturing your subject in their natural environment and producing a a viable interesting piece is a very difficult thing to do in one shot, but the payoff of a successful shot of a decisive moment is well worth it, because you can capture some truly authentic moments that really add emotion to your piece and captures the human experience in a way that can have way more substance than your typical portrait or candid.
