Henri Cartier Bresson looks at the decisive moment. He captures all types of emotion and documentation within people, joy, sadness, laughter etc. His images have a sort of comedy feel to them but I feel he looks at natural day to day life movement which is really interesting to look at because it conveys so many meanings. The black and white effect also makes the photo seem very basic, not much editing, it reinforces his theme of "the moment"
Whereas Alexey Titarenko has a completely different feel with his images. They come across as lost, sadness, confusion, deprived and this is because of the use of his shutter speed within movement. It makes the people look like ghosts as he uses a longer shutter and the colouring of the photo is extremely dull as his photos are black and white but browns also. The photos I believe were taken with film so they have a grainy blurry effect to them where as Bresson photos are sharp and clear, they tell a story. These images I don't know what story they tell, maybe the loneliness of a person, the loss of a place.
