Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908– August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the “street photography” or “life reportage” style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed. Throughout the 20th century, this roaming, lucid eye has captured the fascination of Africa in the 1920’s, crossed the tragic fortunes of Spanish republicans, accompanied the liberation of Paris, caught a weary Gandhi just hours before his assassination, and witnessed the victory of the communists in China.

Lara Jade
She discovered her interest in photography when she was fifteen; ever since then, she has worked towards defining her own style, honing her skills, and expanding her business. She began by shooting Fine art photography and experimental self-portraiture in her hometown of the West Midlands, England before she transitioned into the ever-changing world of fashion photography. At seventeen, she started her own photography business and soon found herself shooting for portrait clients, book publishers and music labels throughout the UK. She moved to London to connect with creatives in the photography industry and to push her boundaries as a photographer. She is influenced by past and present style; whenever she shoots she likes to create stories with an underlying sense of narrative. She is inspired by elements of influential style, film noir, old masters in painting and photography, Romanticism and untouched beauty. In 2011, she moved to New York.
