Robert Capa
The story of a Hungarian immigrant
His original name was Endre Erno Friedmann,
he was a Hungarian photographer.
He took pictures of five different
wars.
He started photography as a hobby, and just later became a professional.
He got his first
commission from the Vu magazine, in
1934.
Ingrid Bergman was one of his
lovers.
While reporting from the Spanish civil war he took his most famous
picture, the Falling Soldier.
He took pictures of the soldiers reaching the shore of Normandy, but these valuable photos were ruined later.
He named his autobiography
after this event: „Slightly out of focus” – My memories from the war.
The Life magazine sent
him to Indochina on the grounds of reporting the
French Conquest.
He passed over a mine and died there, on the 25th of May in 1954.
As he said: „If your pictures aren’t good enough, you didn’t go close
enough.”
