Robert Capa

Robert Capa is a Hungarian-American photographer and photojournalist. He is considered one of the greatest war photographers of all time, known for his dramatic images of combat and conflict. Cornell Capa's older brother and a classic of documentary photography.

Capa began his career as a photographer in the early 1930s and soon became known for his coverage of the Spanish Civil War. He went on to cover many major conflicts, including World War II, the First Indochinese War and the Arab-Israeli War.

One of Robert Capa's most famous photographs is Falling Soldier, taken during the Spanish Civil War. The photo depicts a Republican soldier as he is shot and falls to his death. The authenticity of the photograph has been the subject of controversy for many years, but it remains an iconic image of war photography.

Capa also co-founded Magnum Photos, which was established in 1947 as a cooperative for independent photographers. Since then Magnum Photos has become one of the most prestigious and influential photo agencies in the world.

Capa died in 1954 while covering the First Indochina War, stepping on a mine. His legacy as a war photographer and photojournalist continues to inspire generations of photographers and his work remains an important part of photographic history.
