Which famous photographer?
Here’s a fun quiz titled; “Which famous photographer are you?” It’s been around for a while but if you haven’t seen it yet and you love photography - take the quiz!

Here’s my results:

For those of you who are not familiar with Henri Cartier-Bresson you can view some of his wonderful photographs from the Tete a Tete Exhibit. This photographer, born in France, is considered the father of modern photojournalism and the master of candid photography. He traveled all over the world with his Leica rangefinders and photographed many historic events. He was also one of the co-founders of Magnum Photos. See Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson to learn more about him and his work.
Though I’ve never thought of myself as being a photojournalist, it does spark a new interest in my photography. I love photographing people and taking candid shots. You can bet that I’ll be researching more about photojournalism and Henri Cartier-Bresson in the coming months.
If you take this quiz, I’d love to hear about your results and thoughts on the photographer you’re most like. Do you agree? Disagree?
