Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography

Born in Hungary in 1913 as a Friedmann Endre Erno, Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti-government protests Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer He later left Germany and moved to France due to the rise in Nazism He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American

In 1936 after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war Capa went to Spain and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer It was here too in 1936 that he took

one of the most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier One of Capa’s most famous quotes was

“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” And he took his attitude of getting close

to the action to an extreme His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier, is a prime example of this as

Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls Though many have questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged

When World War II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar winning movie “Saving Private Ryan” When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war

Capa’s private life was no less dramatic He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors and actresses In 1943 he felt in love with the wife of actor John Austin His affair with her lasted until the end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs He was at one time lover to actress Ingrid Bergman Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to Turkey

In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos This was a co-operative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the copyright to their work

Capa went on to document many other wars He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to record the horror He once said, “The desire of any war photographer is to put out of business.”
