Henri Cartier-Bresson; "The Decisive Moment"


This picture by Henri Cartier-Bresson of Marilyn Monroe really caught my eye because in all her pictures she's just so glamoured up and never really looks like "herself." In this picture, I kind of  feel like when she's looking away from the camera it looks like she's wishing she maybe had a different life where she could look a little more like herself, and there wouldn't be that pressure that weighs down on her in her acting life.
Bresson really captures her in a moment of thought, even though she is posing next to the tree,
You can still tell the deeper meaning behind her eyes.
