Robert Capa was a Hungarian war photographer and photojournalist, arguably the greatest combat and adventure photographer in history. The series of work I am mainly looking at from his selection of work are the images from during the Spanish Civil War and France. I like how some of his photographs aren’t in focus, in my opinion, it adds character to the image and makes them stand out. It makes the image look like it has a sense of panic and makes the viewer feel like they are there alongside the soldiers.
