Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, butafter his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and moved toFrance due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was here that hechanged his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American.3 In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over thenext three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he tookone of his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capa’s most famous quoteswas 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' And he took his attitude of gettingclose to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime exampleof this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned theauthenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged.4 When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe coveringthe war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when heswam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa, armedonly with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but amistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames. It was the imagesfrom 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 wereslightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war.5 Capa’s private life was no less dramatic. He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actorsand actresses. In 1943 he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin. His affair with her lasted untilthe end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs. He was at one time lover to actressIngrid Bergman. Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood andwent off to Turkey.6 In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos. This was aco-operative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of thecopyright to their work.7 Capa went on to document many other wars. He never attempted to glamorise war though, but torecord the horror. He once said, "The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business."8 Capa died as he had lived. After promising not to photograph any more wars, he accepted anassignment to go to Indochina to cover the first Indochina war. On May 25th 1954 Capa wasaccompanying a French regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance andstepped on a land mine. He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but waspronounced dead on arrival. He left behind him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard forphotojournalism that few others have been able to reach.9 Capa’s legacy has lived on through and in 1966 his brother Cornell founded the InternationalFund for Concerned Photography in his honor. There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which isgiven to the photographer who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence ofexceptional courage. But perhaps his greatest legacy of all is the haunting images of the humanstruggles that he captured.
