Throughout all of the photos in the series, it seems as if this photo was one of the most intriguing to me. Throughout Bresson’s India series, almost all of the photos were in black and white. Black and white may seem dull to many people but I feel as if black and white actually makes the viewer catch the important subjects or objects the photographer is trying to show. This series also seemed to have a huge reflection on the hinduism culture. As there is a large popularity of hinduism in India, it seems as if Bresson tries to capture the everyday details of Hindu’s lives.
Out of looking at all of the photos in this series, the photo shown above intrigued me the most. This photo intrigued me the most because it captured the movement and mood of the Hindu’s when it looked as if they were leaving their place of worship. In the photo, you see men interacting with women. Yet, not all of the men are dressed the same, some have hats, some do not, some look as if they have a piece of special fabric wrapped around their head. In the center of the photo, attention is drawn due to the fact that that is the only place where the women are.
