Week 12 - Robert Capa

Robert Capa
A hungarian war photographer, photojournalist who is also the companion and professional partner of photographer Gerda Taro.

Wars he covered:
Spanish Civil War
Second Sino-Japanese War
World War II across Europe
1948 Arab-Israeli War
First Indochina War

"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough"

Reflection:
Robert Capa is a very daring person to me. He could take such nice photos despite a war is happening makes him really brave. People would probably be running for their lives, protecting their love ones when a war is happening yet he can still take such photos. Capturing such precious moments during a war, the touching moments and how they fight for their lives together. I like how his images speak to the audience, it's like he freezes the time to tell a story of how people are like during a war.
