I'll give you a hint, "photojournalism". I find it hard to believe you couldn't easily find the information you need. The Web is loaded with articles about Henri, try any search engine and do a little reading.

Can’t find it anywhere? I am getting almost a MILLION hits when I put his name into a Yahoo! or Google search. Surely you can find SOMETHING of value there. When all else fails, check Wikipedia first.

If you want to pick one concept to write about, the phrase associated with HCB would be “The Decisive Moment.” Include that in your search.
