Robert Capa

Robert Capa has been known to be one of the most fearless and captivating photographers of his time. He was a war photographer who hated war. Although, his photographs of war were what made him such an influence to the ones who viewed them. Robert Capa's life will always be remembered as the life that lived fully. 

Robert Capa was born in Budapest 1913 on October 22. Robert Capa was born into a Jewish family in Hungary with the name Andre Friedmann in 1913, but later left Budapest to work in Berlin at the age of 18. He lived in Berlin for a short time, and worked as a darkroom assistant. He also started his studies in journalism at the German political college. However, the Nazi party had highly restricted laws against Jews and prohibited them from any college in Germany. He later moved to Paris hoping to fulfill his dream career of becoming a freelance journalist. When arriving at France, Friedmann struggled greatly to find work. In 1934 "André Friedman", as he still called himself, met Gerda Taro, a German Jewish refugee, and former friend of Capa.  The couple lived in Paris where André taught Gerda photography. Together they created the name and image of "Robert Capa" as a, "famous" American photographer. He adopted this name shortly after the rise Nazism, because he thought it was more American-sounding and more recognizable, which was in fact similar to that of film director, Frank Capra. Later on, Capa successfully gained work as a photojournalist, and his first assignment took him to Denmark where he photographed Leon Trotsky ‘In Defence of October’ speech. Although, what really caught the people's attention was the Spanish civil war photographs that showed the conflict up close and personal. This was when Capa took his infamous photo, "Death of a loyalist soldier". This image impacted many while viewing the instant death of a man. Robert Capa's life was a bit mysterious one and wild one. It took him a long time before becoming what he's always wanted to be and left marks in the minds of millions along the the way. Unfortunately, his life cut short when he was photographing the First Indochina war and stepped on a land mine and died instantly.

Capa's carrer as a journalist had him witnessing five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second-Sino Japanese War, World War II, the, 1948 Arab-Iraeli War and the First Indochina War. In these conflicts, he captured amazing and powerful photos that gave people the chills. This included the frontline battle in Normandy that brought fear-sicken images along with it. He documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris, as well. In 1947, Capa co-founded Magnum Photos in Paris with David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and William Vandivert. This organization was the first cooperative agency for worldwide freelance photographers. Capa was successful along with other photographers and impacted the world of photojournalism. Each time, he risked his life, capturing photos that no one else would dare to take. He worked hard to get the best pictures and made sure he had no competition. During WWII, Capa dragged to various parts of the European Theatre on photography assignments. He first photographed for Collier's Weekly, before switching to Life after he was fired. On October 7, 1943, Robert Capa was in Naples with Life reporter, Will Lang Jr., and photographed the Naples post office bombing. This war and many more, brought him to the limelight during his time. 

A man with a lot of courage, the images Capa showed the world, have changed photojournalism, bringing light to the destruction that war brings. However, which ever way you view his work and the identity he created, the impact that Capa has had cannot be neglected. Every photograph taken represents the hard life of soldiers, citizens, and overall, all the people he photographed.  His photograph will last in the viewer’s mind, depicting a time when devastation was at its worst. It is these times, his photography has impacted many that have viewed his work. The impact he has left behind had struck many modern photographers who have been inspired by his work. Photojournalism is a risky job and can get anyone behind the camera killed. Although, photographers such as Robert Capa, have inspired and impacted how photojournalism if viewed. Many believe that photojournalism is a bad job and that the people behind the camera have no consideration for the things they photograph and only care about the money that comes along for each photograph. However, sometimes, it is much more than that. Photojournalists only want to show the world what goes on behind closed doors. Robert Capa did this when he was still living and breathing and he had a major passion for it. This passion has been absorbed by many modern photographers who have been impacted by Robert Capa and many other famous photojournalists.

Robert Capa has been known to be the "greatest war photographer in the world". He has captivated many with his astonishing photos of the life of war. He was a fearless man who's career rose more as he captured each picture. Robert Capa's life will always be remembered as the life that lived fully.

 Kevin Carter

Photojournalist are visual story tellers. The photographs they take impact numerous people in different ways. Photojournalist witness events that anyone can ever imagine happening. They are very passionate about their work because they are determined to bring awareness to others. Kevin Carter was also a photojournalist. However, he ended his life over a photograph.

Carter was born on September 13, 1960. Kevin Carter was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Carter grew up in a middle-class. His neighborhood only consisted of white families. As grew older, he frequently saw riots of police officers arresting blacks who were undocumented living in the area. Kevin Carter questioned how his parents about the segregation that kept occurring. Carter dropped out of his studies in college to become a pharmacist and later, was drafted into the army. He was in Air Force  for four years. In 1980, he witnessed a black waiter being insulted. Carter was the only person who defended the man. The black man was badly beaten up by the other people who serve food. Kevin decided to serve out the rest of his required military service. He experienced the Church Street bombing in Pretoria in 1983, that was when Kevin Carter decided to become a news photographer.

Carter had began to work as a weekend sports photographer in 1983. In 1984, he started to work for the Johannesburg Star, he wanted to show others the brutality of segregation and discrimination. Kevin Carter was the first to photograph a public execution "necklacing" by black Africans in South Africa in the mid-1980s. Kevin Carter was member of the Bang Bang Club during the early 1900's. In March 1993, he was on a trip to Sudan. Carter was preparing to photograph a starving child trying to reach a feeding center when a vulture landed near to the child. Carter took the picture because it was his job. He was told not to touch the children because it can transmit disease. The photograph was sold to the New York Times and it first appeared on 26 March 1993. Multiple newspapers around the world also published the photograph.  Many people contacted the newspapers to ask what happened to the starving child. The paper reported that it was unknown if she had reached the feeding center. In April 1994, the photograph of a famine victim in Sudan won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. Three months after winning the Pulitzer Prize, he committed suicide.

The St. Petersburg Times in Florida said this about Carter: "The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering, might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene." Kevin Carter had a huge impact on two different groups of people. There was one group who understood he was just doing his job and he could not get near the child due to the spread of disease. Then, there's a group of people who thinks he is the worst man ever for not helping the little girl. Carter estimated that there were at least twenty people dying at the food center per hour, he knew starvation was the number one death in Sudan. But other people did not seem to notice that. Hundreds and hundreds of people had a lot of questions for Carter. Carter committed suicide at the age of 33, there again was two groups of people. One group who was upset of his death because it was a great picture with no bad intentions. Another group, who was happy he was dead because he was another vulture in the scene.

Carter expressed regret because he had not done anything to help the girl, although there was not much he could have done. One picture ended Kevin Carter's life. His body was found in Parkmore near the Field and Study Center, where he used to play at as a child. Kevin Carter will always be a memorable photojournalist.

Hernan Zenteno: Photojournalist

A photographer is more than their photos, they are their life story, their work, their passion, and their dedication. A photographer is always expected to look for and find that perfect beautiful image by the rest of the world but with no time or money that job becomes difficult sometimes. There is no perfect image to the world, note the fact that most photographers only become known after their death because while their photos may have not been the perfect image at the time they are at another point in time. See that's the thing time moves so incredibly quickly that a photographer has to look to the future. Hernan Zenteno is the photographer just described: dedicated, passionate, and future looking but that doesn't make his work easy.

   He was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina by his mother and father who never supported his love of photography. Although his father himself was a photographer, he never wanted his son to become one. He wanted Hernan to follow a more money making and practical career like science, law or engineering. He studied engineering and actually graduated with a degree but then quickly realized it wasn't the career he wanted to work as for his entire life so he started studying journalism. He studied journalism at the University of Lomas de Zamara for about a year before again changing his path to social communications. In an online interview he states that, "It was obvious to me that photography was what I loved doing, and I had to follow my passion in order to be happy with my life.". 

  After graduating with a degree in journalism and social communications he started working at a newspaper but while he was there he started his career as a photographer. Even though he had a job as a journalist, he didn't feel like that was enough so he started playing around with an old camera of his fathers which was an old Nikon F. He then found an enlarger in an archive and created his own dark room where he would develop his photos. In 2001 he became a full time photographer and left his job as a journalist to look for a job without the support of his parents. After finding a job as a photojournalist for a newspaper located in Argentina he pursued his individual projects and was able to make himself known through the country. He participated in Galleries and art shows whenever the opportunity was available to him. He doesn't have much time to take photos because of his actual job but says that he uses all of his free time to take photos. This is barely the start of his career as a photographer and he still has a long way to go.

   The emotions that his photos arise in someone is heartbreakingly beautiful, he photographs every aspect of life: the good and the bad. "Photo impact is a mystery, if there was a formula it would make life much easier." He answers when asked what he believes is the impact of his photos. It creates a change in people, people  see things like the starving children of Portugal in his photos and their heart feels something it causes a change internally on people. "It's worth it to show everything that needs to be corrected and everything that's worth living for." This is the idea that he says be follows when he thinks about the impact he wants to have on people's lives. He wants to show everything that needs to be changed to make our world a better place but he also wants people to see the beauty around them in the world. 

   To this day he doesn't have the support of his parents, his father died not understanding his sons love for photos and his mother who is still alive is just now starting to understand her sons passion. This shows what he has sacrificed in order to follow his love for photography, he doesn't know where his career will be in five, ten years but he still chooses to follow his passion and to impact even one person with his photos makes it worth it. That is what makes a great photographer, what's behind the photos what we don't know about the image were looking at, that's what makes an almost perfect image.
