  5. Background Information:Photography Opinion • Personally I liked Henri’s style of taking pictures. I really like how in his street photography photos they are of everyday life and they look really interesting. • I really enjoy his photo Allé de Prado, Marseille took in 1932 because of the trees in the background. • I also like to take pictures in this style.
