Robert Capa, real name was Andre Friedman.

1 - Robert Capa started his career on Bulgaria. During the world war II he went to the United States and worked as a freelancer for two companies. One was called Life and the other one was Time both were good companies for that era. His photos were more about wars, for example he took photos in the world war II, Palestine war and some other events.

2 - He started his career around the 40s but he passed away early and his last jobs were around 50s. That was an era which the photojournalism was growing and starting to be relevant. Era of the apotheosis of the photojournalism.

3 - His motivation was not show the people in a war killing each other, it was show the survivors and how they looked when they were the survives. He always wanted to show how those survivors look like.

4 - He used Leica camera during the Spanish Civil war. The Spanish war was his first war as a photographer/photojournalist Later he used the Contax camera. A very famous camera used by a lot of photographers.

5 - After my all researches none of his pictures or actions were considered an ethical dilema. He was a very good professional who got diverse awards with his pictures. The most important award he got was around 50s which he got, the best picture in the war, a big award for that time.

6 - He did not like to take pictures of people in action during the war. It was always after war. "His happiness was on the survivors, people who were celebrating life." A lot of websites say that him was a happy man, always positive, kind of incredible for someone that was always in wars seeing bad things most of the times.

7 -

What feelings does the image create? I know they are in the war but it is not visible, for me they are in an any day playing like kids as they have anything to be worried about. This image shows me the purity of the kids.

Doctor taking care of a man in the WWII.

Is the image black & white or color? The image is black white and I believe this picture become very good because without color we can try to imagine another thing instead of blood on that man face. The black and white can help us to imagine what they are doing. 

German kid going to another state.

Subject's expresion: The subject expresses a feeling of reliaved, he looks tired but with hope. His face does not show sadness or happiness is a question face. He seems ready for what is coming. 

Girl from Austria moving during the WWII. 

Background compliments: This picture is completed because the main subject and the background. Both things help for the quality of the picture showing the little girl and probably her family stuffs in a hard moment leave their home. 

8 - His photos show images during the wars that he lived, but he choose the good way to take pictures. He showed on his pictures not the bad part of the war. He show sadness but he shows hope as well, happiness, rare moments where people on that time probably had once. In war we use to see blood, death, guns, scary things, he found something besides those options. That is why he is respected in the world of photojournalism so far. So, he make the population see the good things in the worst moments, I meant he see positivity where people do not see.

9-  I see the way that he takes his pictures a different way. He is not like everybody else, he has something different. He makes me think to be different, do something to change what people are tired to see. My major is communication and I want to talk about sports or write about it. The thing is, I have to do something that people are not use to see, ready to show something new and with good quality.

10 - Some people say he was courageous, he was always smiling, positive guy, he make history, he had a terrific death, very sad the way he leave.


I will do a video on YouTube explaining all the question in a narrative way where at the meantime I will show the pictures about the wars that he was presented. The video will be no longer 5 minutes. I also go a little bit through about his history and etc...

Sebastiao Salgado

Sebastiao Salgado is a Brazilian photojournalist known in the whole world. Different from many Brazilians at that time, Sebastiao had a good childhood. He graduated on college and after that he got married with a pianist. Sebastiao is known for his own style to take pictures.

Gold mine of Serra Pelada, state of Pará, Brazil, 1986.

What most motivated me about him is that he always going to poor areas to show people in worst conditions than anybody else. He is always helping them and his pictures promote a better way to these people get help from different areas of the world. 

His quote which most called my attention is on his book called Exodus. "More than ever, I feel that the human race is only one. There are differences in color, language, culture and opportunity, but people's feelings and reactions are similar. People flee wars to escape death, migrate to improve their luck."  This quote made me think how similar everybody is. We might have different characteristics but we always have the same goals. People always try to prove how good they are do not matter how they will always find a way to show that they are worthy.  

"People should be living like I". I got this quote from the video "Kenyan Journalist" Felix Masi was the man who said it. Both photojournalists have the same mind, help the others. I believe be a photojournalist can change people's live, mainly their own lives. 

His motivation was help people in my map I said that help is equals support. What I meant by that is if we all help someone, we are supporting them and this person will help someone as well, is like a circle, that we cannot break. 

                             

Steve Mccurry

Steve Mccurry is a brave man which is not afraid to get his job done. What most called me about his work is how to get so many photos in places with historical conflicts days after day, this kind of motivated me too because does not matter what you have to do to get your job done you gotta do it. "I don't think pictures are worth dying for, but I don't want to live knowing I was timid." He will always be remembered for his pictures, he was never timid. Also, is very easy to see the sadness look and fear in the people photographed by him. 

Afghan Girl

This photo was one his most successful works. He won diverse awards with this picture.  

"He told everyone that he believed his photographs would encourage people to exert the force to right wrongs."This quote came from the video "Lewis Hine - A Progressive Reformer". Another person who was not timid and face problems doing her best to stop it. She could change people's opinion with her photos facing whatever she had to deal with it.

His motivation was to show how much people suffer and try to help them sharing his pictures. People are in the war every day, sometimes they cannot do anything about it to stop it. Steven was trying to help them showing his photos to call people's attention, he was fighting for it, he was not timid and never stop until he gets what he wants.

Ansel Adams

Ansel different from the other photojournalists that I mentioned had a hard childhood. His father lost his fortune and after that his father did not spend time with him or with his family trying to get his fortune back. He had dyslexia and he was not very successful in school. 

I got motivation when I read story about Adam. Nothing in life will be easy, or sometimes it will never goes the way that you want to go but it does not matter, or focus and discipline has to be higher than our frustrations or fears. His motivation was the nature. He loved take pictures of the nature and see how beautiful it is. He did not care about his past or his personal problems, he face it, and he made history. 

Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream?" Photograph made him dream, and he left 12 years of piano to make this dream come true, when he did not even could be good at school and a lot of people did not believe on him he made it happen. 

Ansel was the guy which never give up. He motivation inspires me. He kept going and he became a good photojournalist, and after all he went through, he did not care he kept going.

 Going Home

I see an image of a Marine who lost someone very important. He is playing some music with his accordion while he is crying for his loss. He is surrounded by other people. Those people are sad as well some of them are crying but not like this Marine. This image shows me that the photographer got the right angle to transmit the real feelings of that image.

Graham W Jackson and President Franklin D Roosevelt were very close friends. It seems the death of President Roosevelt was something which most people felt sad about it. Mainly his friend Graham Jackson. According to the website time.com Roosevelt was a President love for most Americans, "The only man elected four times to the nation’s highest office (although he would die within months of being sworn in to his final term), Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s greatness can be measured, in one elemental sense, by the passions he still excites in both his supporters and detractors. To the former, he was a courageous and compassionate leader."

                                         

What feelings does the image create?  The image creates feelings of sadness, mourning and dejection. The main subject is crying and looking to the sky, maybe looking for something or thinking about someone. The people on background look very sad as well. 

Obvious main subject, about ¼ to 2/3 of image area: The main subject is kind of 1/2 of image area. He is in left side occupying a little bit of the middle in the picture. He is the main object but he is not in the middle of the picture.

Is the image black & white or color? The image is in black and white. I believe the black and white intensified the feeling of this picture it made the main subject looks better and more alive.

Mario Cruz

This photo represents truth to me because it shows the reality of a lot people from South America. The only problem is the media which do not show it at all. People think in South America everybody has a good life, they go to the beach, they look happy all the time, but is not like that. A lot of citizens do not have house, food or clothes and they are forgotten in the world.

People can even think that is not ethic to this picture be posted but, I see this picture more as an alert to everybody see what is the reality, what is going on South America. Storytellers may be interested in the periphery, but technical image makers (and the news feeds they keep buzzing) are not. People are more interest in things that suits them not other people, this is the problem in the world right now.

The way that I see for this image is the sense perception. I am from South America, I have seen people in the same conditions as the kid in the picture it is sad and horrible. The social inequality is so big. Some people have too much and other people have nothing the gap between them is ridiculous.

do Estadão

Around August and September the media was spreading fake news about the Amazonia. They were saying that was a big fire and nobody was caring about it. But they forgot to mention the fire always happen during that time of the year, is pretty normal. They were saying that nobody care to make the president Jair Bolsonaro look bad and put the whole world against him. The country is divided at the moment because of that, there is people on his side and people against him. 

People have the power to see the pictures and say whatever they want. Nowadays we want fast searches, we do not have the second look to see if it is truth or not. "We do not have time for it". One similar example is when Hillary Clinton. Based on wired.com "stumbled as she climbed the steps of an antebellum mansion in Charleston, It was really bizarre and dispiriting to see,” he says. “We’re always attuned to photographic manipulation, but what was more sinister in this situation was the misappropriation of a photo.” People have the power to decide what they are going to say about the picture is up to the viewer to see if the news is true or false.

For this picture the language/authority is the way which fits. After I only use the media (television), as my main source and after I look for more sources I could see different opinions which made me search about the Amazonia. My final research showed me that the fire always happen during August and September it is pretty normal. 

Photojournalism is a serious job which has a lot of rules to be follow as all the jobs do, as professional ethics. Every single job has its professional ethics which people show their "characteristics as workers when they use ethics. First of all, what is the job of a photojournalist and what is ethic? Based on jobdescriptionandresumeexamples.com, "Photojournalists capture images of events, incidents or people to create a press story. Their job description entails editing and preparing pictures taken in real life situations to obtain visual materials used to support news stories." They basically take pictures of real life and post on magazines, newspaper or other types of media. Based on Lexico.com, "Ethic is A set of moral principles, especially ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, or form of conduct." Basically it is saying that there is a group of moral principles which is established for the group which you live, work or etc... 

Nowadays everyone can see what is happening around the world in only one click. A million of photos are posted everyday for different websites or social medias. Because of that the job of a photojournalist became harder and more judged. There are different ways to see a picture and with that the observations and criticism come to show what they want to say about it. Photojournalists try to do their jobs and get the best pictures. The only problem about this is what they do to get this pictures? 

Kevin Carter's picture 

I was looking this picture and thinking about how the photojournalist got this. For who do not know, this picture was taken by Kevin Carter and won the Pulitzer Prize, the world's largest consecration of journalism. On this picture we could see a starving kid which does not have any help or person to help her around, only the photographer and a vulture behind her. The photographer instead help that kid he preferred to take a picture and win that award. The thing is how worthy was that picture, he did what he could to win that award but he did not do the minimum to help that kid. The right thing would be save that kid and finish that opportunity she had to die not take a picture and make that kid be his "biggest award". 

Earthquake in 2011 Haiti

This other picture was taken in Haiti after a earthquake in 2011. The biggest mistake about this picture is that there is no respect about the girl. She is probably dead, there is no one calling the ambulance or asking for help, they just look at her and take pictures for their job. I know it is their job but my question comes up, what it takes to be the best, number one in your job, do you see limits to get what you want? It is sad but this is the truth.

  

Presentation1 from felipeaic11

This is my ethical map and I put all the words that I know I use and I will use for the rest of my life. I believe God comes first in anything. Family is the top of this scale. The other words are very important as well, but one that I think is the most important is respect. Nothing in this life can be earned without respect. If you earn something without respect and you did not win anything, you can check what you have done to get here because it looks not right. Respect anyone, does not matter if that person is white, black, short, tall, fat, skinny, just respect and the rest will come.
