To establish their own photos aesthetics, referred to as one of the 20th century the best photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Two years ago of the death, extremely hated photographers themselves that give a face to the public, valuable documentary "Henri Cartier-Bresson of instant storage," which told the life and work of myself, May 20 It will be published in a more rise X. Romp outback of Africa and the Amazon as a freelance photographer, also serve Kunihiro Suzuki instructor of Nippon Photography Institute in Shibuya, I watched this piece should be called a "testament" of Cartier-Bresson, the impressions and Cartier = I heard the thought of to Bresson.
Movie "Henri Cartier-Bresson of instant memory" is here
Rise X is here.
- How was the impression of the movie?
Is this, too, about that, I just was the attractions work of Cartier-Bresson is projected. Moreover, because it is with a description of the human voice by the person or persons concerned, than the photo exhibition and photo album, I thought it was quite "deals" (laughs). In Japan, there is no high-profile of Cartier-Bresson, except for the people who are interested in photography and art, but the majority of the work to be introduced in the movie called masterpiece, none just a photo to leave a strong impression. Even watching people who do not know the Cartier-Bresson, I'm sure, you will can feel the "greatness". If there work that "I think the good Do not" even a piece, is rushed to the bookstore or library before you forget the image, please try to find a photo collection of Cartier-Bresson. And now, try looking at the more open of without commentary hole your favorite photos. Next, consider what's coming appeal to the heart. This surely you also become like the photo, you might stand I want to be a photographer maybe (laughs).
- Cartier = the "greatness" of Bresson, What kind of place would that be?.
It has been mentioned even in the movie, but this person is I'm a genius to create a "composition". For example, even in a spectacle that was cluttered there are a lot of people in the rambling place, and through the lens of Cartier-Bresson, like Build this is perfectly beautiful composition as in one scene of the movie. "Standing You're in here, You're looking at here," too much of the exquisite balance is about want suspect than were placed with (laughs). Cartier-Bresson has said, "in the world there is a moment that appears the order only for a moment. I take to continue to wait for it." Because it was originally painted the picture, the impact also will are receiving maybe. Where the photographer named Rene Burri has showed a photo to Cartier-Bresson, is so he was also seen in the upside down photos forever. This is common in paintings of the world, it is a way to check the composition of the good or bad. In fact, if you get a photo collection of Cartier-Bresson, please look in the upside down. Wasteful space and annoying because things are not at all. Such photographer, not be seen in the other.
- In the history of the photo, Cartier-Bresson is or will occupy any position.
It will be a little technical talk, but the photos will not have the two aspects of "record of" "expressivity". The recording of that information with photos, especially news photos and ID photo to focus on this. On the other hand, is expressive in layman's terms visual, such as figurative rhythms and light and shadow, is in itself is formed with meaningless elements. The first place because the photo has been developed in the reporting purposes, record-oriented in the flow of to convey objectively information had lasted longer. And a group of the Cartier-Bresson and Robert Kyapara was rebelled against. They emphasize the importance of their own sense of beauty, I began to take a picture with an emphasis on expressivity. When you issue an extreme example, if the record-oriented a place to take the corpse in order to convey the battlefield of misery, they will take it if you feel sad is the single flower that blooms in the battlefield. In order to promote the representation activities by such photographer, I photographer population "Magnum" was formed. Among them, Cartier-Bresson was a photographer to emphasize the expressive and projects.
- Cartier-in photo of Bresson, or it would be that there is not much "record of"?
Since the recording of the fate that has photos, any photographs and ready to some extent. In fact, photos of Cartier-Bresson took the death of the Spanish Civil War eve and Gandhi, I You have a historical meaning as a purely recording. The point is, is a matter of the balance of which one to focus on. Cartier-Bresson at that point has a high awareness of the expressivity, also had protrudes their talents. On the contrary, one time, in the photo belonged to the Magnum family, Japan Photographic Art expert Sebastian Salgado, which is also the honorary adviser of the school is a different type of photographer Cartier-Bresson. Cartier-Bresson Salgado that had friendship with is, Cartier-Bresson is "point", it was to say that photographer that he is taking a "line". Cartier-Bresson has continued to take a sensuously "moment" in the theme that was vague, such as "America", "Europe". On the other hand, Salgado also continues to take many years for example, it established the "workers", "immigrants", such as a narrow theme. It represents the record the line.
- Suzuki, do you under the influence of Cartier-Bresson?
By the time of the freshly made to photographers, it was the goal that just take a picture, such as Cartier-Bresson. But, it has been gradually cause discomfort. Is to care only composition of that, I was aware of myself that is away consciousness from the object itself. I three times the Pygmies photo of the hinterland of Africa, but he was going to take, first time was the time that such hesitation. So in one to shoot, "have not seen the subject thinking about composition. This has no meaning came long road To all the way," I was crossed is feeling that. So after a while after returning home, the aim of the Cartier-Bresson was stopped and Patari. It does not fit in myself, because I thought also that it is impossible. And not regarded as a "picture" of the photograph in the next Pygmies of the shooting, the one by one the people of hair, carved wrinkles, the texture of the personal belongings of things, decided to Katsuaki the "record", visited by Katsui a large camera that 8 × 10 was suitable for it (Eitobaiten). Speaking in the previous story, it was switched to a style that emphasizes the recording of from expressivity. As a result, we were able to win the 18th Nobuo Ina Award at the Pygmies photo. Since then, until now, it has been through the style.
- Finally, please tell me the reason why Suzuki continues to take a picture.
Because there are things I want to shoot. It attaches to it. Recently But the students say that "theme are not sure you want to take," there are many, So I think that there is no way even if the photographer. I chose the way of photos, because the photographer, it is necessary to always go to the scene. I like to be confronted with people and things. It has also become their own shooting style. There have previously thrown a stone Once toward the lens in the refugee camp of shooting. Still and go toward in a state in which the camera held in the end the people burst out laughing, after all, it was take pictures of good expression. In the future, I so want to continue to take a photo that clash from the target and the front.
1908, born to middle-class home of the French Seine-Marne Chateau. 1947, together with Robert Capa, et al., Founded the photographer collective "Magnum", the Spanish Civil War eve and Paris release, was to shoot a historic moment such as the death of Gandhi enhance the reputation as a pioneer of news photography. On the other hand, it launched its own photo aesthetics in the collection of photos, which was announced in 1952 "decisive moment", had an impact on the world of the photographer. In August 2004, he died at the age of 95.

Of socializing Suzuki and Shibuya?I have school When I was through the Nippon Photography Institute is in Ikejiriohashi, I had come to often eat the meal. Also to watch a movie, it was exclusively Shibuya. Harajuku is childish, contrary to Aoyama is mature, it was a favorite in the Shibuya per intermediate comfortably. But despite the fact that a lecturer in Shibuya right now, such as Parco PART1 underground of Books shop "Logos", it has become not carry foot only to a very limited place. Young people is too many, so will a little tired. Kana has increased the opportunity to go to many Daikanyama district of open cafes and calm shop instead.
In the future, it is determined in Shibuya?Recent Shibuya, feel that the streets are dyed in fashion color. Once upon a time remembers to have been swagger for people of all ages there is a more diverse atmosphere. Originally, I think the fun of Shibuya is in the collection of independent shops, it it does not want to be lost. Then in Shibuya, a movie theater and record shop, Books stores, including the vocational school, cultural spots are concentrated. As can be attracted to it, come also gathered young people with the potential but it is unfinished. Taking advantage of such elements, or would not it interesting if created a cultural award as a town. Solicited the cooperation of the company in Shibuya, once in two years, if club prize with the impact of much prize money 2 million yen, I think it is noteworthy.
