Bob Henriques was known for candid snapshots that laid bare some of the 20th century’s most famous events and figures. A master of “the decisive moment”, – a phrase coined by Henri Cartier-Bresson in reference to the split-second moment in which a photograph can catch the subject off-guard – Henriques was able to capture the zeitgeist of the 1950s and 1960s, photographing subjects as diverse as Fidel Castro, Katherine Hepburn, Martin Luther King and Nikita Khruschev.
