Robert Capa - Photojournalist

Robert Capa

Born Andre Friedmann in 1913, Robert Capa experienced danger and action even in his early years. Robert was a teenager who loved action and conflict, his craving for problems such as war and violence influenced him in becoming the famous photojournalist that he came to be.

Born a Hungarian-Jew, he was intrigued and hooked with wars and revolutions occurring in his time. After moving to Berlin in 1931 Robert began his career as a photojournalist. Robert was known for his black and white wartime photographs, he was assigned to many wartime assignments and worked in other conflicts too such as the Korean war, the Russian revolution, and the Vietnam war.

Once Capa gained momentum and recognition with his photography he began selling his work, he gained even more recognition and of course more money with doing so. Although Capa’s career kept moving in an upward direction , tragedy struck and the famous photojournalist’s career and life came to an end. While photographing in Vietnam Robert Capa stepped way to close to a land mine setting it off and resulting in his tragic death.

Although Robert Capa is no longer present today his work and lifetime photography continue to live on and inspire us. One can witness the action and tragedy captured through his photography, the story he tells us through his images also shows us how much Capa was willing to risk, Robert Capa lives on.
