2 Robert Capa- Photography
Capa was a war photographer, photojournalist and also the companion and professional partner of photographer Gerda Taro. Capa had a number of organizations he founded named Magnum Photos and International Center of Photography. He wrote a number of books; Slightly out of focus, children of war and children of peace. He was a Jewish photographer who ran from Germany when the second world war started and began to take war photos all over the world. He took war photos of; Spanish Civil War Chinese Resistance to Japan World War I World War II Capa is both a Landscape and Portrait photographer, taking photos of wars all around the world in the 30’s and 40’s. Capa usually got incredibly close to the action and wasn’t afraid to get too close. He was taken with soldiers everywhere, all over the world to all different wars. Robert Capa was a photographer born in Budapest, Hungary on October 22nd, He died in May 25th, 1954 in Thai Binh, Vietnam. Capa was the first photographer to create multiple organizations.

3 Robert Capa- Photography
Robert Capa, I believe was trying to achieve a sense of his audience being involved in the terrifying ordeal that was the first and second world war. He possibly wanted his audience to experience the troubles of war from a far. Capa became a famous war photographer after he caught a soldier falling to his death after being shot by the opposing enemy. Robert Capa could motivate people to get right in front of the action, to take pictures that are real and could risk his life. There’s no point taking a photograph from a far and hiding behind the soldiers if you’re there to take photos of war. Because of photoshop, people could re-create Robert Capa’s photos and edit them into black & white. Capa’s photos could be very inspiring to young photographers and motivational to create something special.

4 Eddie Adams- Photography
Eddie Adams was an American Photographer and photojournalist noted for portraits of celebrities and politicians and for coverage of 13 wars. He won a Pulitzer Prize in Adams was born in June 12th, 1933 in the USA. He died September 18th, Adams also made artwork named Saigon Execution, Irsraeli Soldier on the Svez, Fleeting Sniper Fire and Seeking Escape. Adams captured photographs in the Vietnam War, getting up close and personal with the action. Adams style is both Landscape and Portrait photographs, he captured moments right before they happened, very serious and tense moments you would not want to be in the middle of. I believe Adams is trying to achieve a sense of fear in his photos, from both the perspective of an American soldier and a Vietnam citizen. He is trying to get across that both the American Soldiers and Vietnam people were scared in this war and neither were worse than the other. Adams photos would influence an audiences photos because of his ability to capture things as they are happening, he may motivate them to get “up close and personal” like him.
