Robert capa was a bulgarian soldier who was also a photographer/photojournalist. He took countless amazing desisive moment photographs from many diffrent wars but his most famous were his photos from world war 2. some people say he is the worlds greatest war photographer and was 100% deadicated to his job of getting heart stopping photos from the war. he risked his life and was always on the front line, he was the first man to take D-day landing pictures. photographs that will remain in history forever. He was amazing at capturing reailty with his lica camera and always carried this on until his death in 1954.



Tony Vaccaro was another amazing war photographer/photojournalist. his most famous work is also from world war 2 with stunning photographys that will also go down and be remembered in history forever. Although they say Robert Capa was the worlds greatest war photographer, some belive that Tony Vaccaros world war 2 pictures where the best there have ever been. Vaccaro could not afford the famous lica camera so all of his work was done on his argus c3 camera. and in times of trouble when he could not get the picures back to normal civilisation he developed his photographs in soldiers helmets, with a little help from a collapst camera shop and water he developed them himself. but the photographys would later he destroyed by the commanders because the photos contained images dead g.i's that the world was not ready to see.
