Robert Capa (Independent Research)

This is the work of Robert Capa, who is a war photographer and a social photographer, I’m putting his work up because I find it interesting and I like his photographic style that he’s used for both types of photography, I particularly like how he involves movement in his images, with only particular parts of the image in focus during you attention to the subject of the image first, then your eyes start to explore the rest of the image and gives you more information about the location and what time it was taken, I particularly feel that the middle image is extremely good because you get the motion of the water, then the expression on the face of the solider adds massively to the image, I also feel the black and white and grain in the image works really well, where as if it was in colour it couldn’t have work as well because it would have detracted from the main focus of the image.
