The research presents photography indexing methods from the perspective of Henri Cartier Bresson's work and the decisive instant. The methodology is exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach, using documental research procedures, survey and content analysis. The research was based on the method of classification and indexing by studying the best indexing method for the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, in order to extract as much information as possible from the visual representation of the document (photographs), and to minimize the losses in this transcription. For this, we used the four methods of indexing of photographs developed by the authors Panofsky (1986), Smit (1986), Manini (2002) and Rodrigues (2007), applying them to three (03) Bresson photographs. After the application, we performed a comparative analysis and discussion of the results.
