ABC's

1. Robert Capa (Endre Friedmann), Born October 22, 1913, Died May 25, 1954
2. Known for his great combat and adventure photo style.
3. Capa’s techniques mostly involved risking his life was a war photographer, going onto the actual battlefield to get the best and up close pictures.
4. Capa worked for and co-founded Magnum Photos in Paris.
5. During Capa’s most famous photo shoot (D-day 1944), the only thing he took onto the beach was a Contax 2.
6. Most of Capa’s photos are taken during the sun when the sun is high.
7. As a teenage Capa was living in Berlin under the Nazi party, after he left and moved to Paris he started to take war photos, I believe that the rise of the Nazi party may have had to something why he became a war photographer.
8. In the Bloodiest battle in WW2 (D-day 1944) the only civilian on the beach was Robert Capa

Most of Capa’s work is war photographs that have hidden meaning or massage. I feel that most war photography is a small form of protest for the war, im unsure if that was what Capa was going for but that's how I interpret it. I like that his work did actually help people who weren't soldiers to see what was like on the battlefield.

I selected this Photographer because he is one of the most if not the most famous war photographer.
