Photojournalism is a type of photography through which news are being told to the public, but it may not always be reliable without any supportive article.

Henri Cartier-Bresson has developed a style in street photography that is called 'The Decisive Moment' and is considered to be a master in candid photography.

His work that has been done with 'The Decisive Moment' style, where he would choose a right place and angle for a photograph while waiting for something unique to happen and take a photo with precise and perfect timing, has influenced a generation of photographers. A 'Photo 1' is a perfect example of  Cartier's 'The Decisive Moment'

He used Leica M4 or 3G with a preferred 50mm Elmar lens to take his photos.
