"A photographer is only creative because he has the intuition to click the camera at the perfect time". This concept of photography was explored most extensively by Henri Cartier-Bresson, who is considered by many to be the father of modern photojournalism.

Cartier-Bresson applied the concept of The Decisive Moment to his photography, which he described as: "Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture... The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever."

You can see some of Cartier-Bresson's Photographs on the Magnum Photos site.
