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. Later he used the Contax camera.
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.
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. "He was a good-natured child, with no rudeness in him. Always the face smiled". 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.
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.
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.
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. He was a good photographer and always taking the best for the people in the war. After some researches I found that he was a guy who communicates a lot with people and that made him get so many good pictures. “Like people and let them know it, that is what he always did."
