Bresson was a master at catching the decisive moment in his photography this is what made him famous, But getting these great photo's meant waiting at one place for hours just to get the exact picture he wanted. Bresson got huge recogonition for his photography at Ghandi's funeral.

Decisive moment
This is the exact second you capture a movement such as somebody jumping the decisive moment is when the person is in the air a second later or earlier the picture could be comepletly different and wouldn't be the picture you wanted.
