All the photographers that are mentioned are in opposite to one another, Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson believed in taking photographs, which are not modifying in any way leaving them the way they were taken allowing the viewer to capture their own idea’s, essentially capturing the moment, in doing so never altered or staging their photographs. While Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado modify their photographs in darkrooms, adjusting features such as lighting to emphasize certain points in the photograph helping the viewer capture what Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado really believe what’s important in the photo.
The similarities of Andre Kertesz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado are that they all believed in capturing the truth, telling a story within their photographs. All four of these photographers created a great impacted towards what photojournalist means today.
--
I believe Andre Kertesz, Henri Cartier-Bresson have a better journalistic approach, for they keep true to there photographs by not manipulating them in any way, they wait for the right moment and capture it. In doing so keeping true to the ethics of photojournalism. By not editing there photographs they are not giving the wrong impression of the subjects in the photographs.
