Hi everyone, im sorry i'm late... but anyways today i will write about one of the most important photographer to me. Robert Capa.
Who is he? let's se a short biography.
born Ernest Andrei Friedmann in Budapest. Capa was possibly the most famous war photographer of the 20th century. Robert Capa covered five different wars: the Spanish civil war, the Japanese invasion of China, World War II, London, North Africa, Italy, D-Day on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris are all history documented in part by Capa.
He wasn't a full-time job photographer, he started like only a part-time job in photography, but His most famous work was done on June 6th, 1944 (D-Day Normandy Invasion) where he swam up on the beaches like all the other soldiers that day, but instead of being armed with a gun, he was armed with a camera. (very tipical from him, that's one of the motives he was called "Kamikaze Cappa").
Unfortunately cappa died by stepping in a landmine in May 25, 1954 ending that way with the rest of his glorious career short.
Here yo have some of his work capturated during wars.
As we saw in the pictures, we can see the passion in the pictures that C
apa transmit to us, besides the quality of the image (the kind of format also, B&W) giving us the chance to see "another side of the war".That's basically why i admire so much him.
Regards to everyone =)
