Photo Journalism - War Photography.

Robert Cappa.

Robert Cappa photographed War Journalism, and he worked for Life Magazine. It has been said that he found the war romatic. 

Cappa was the only Journalist to go along side the troops on D-Day, after the war he started taking pictures on set of Alfred Hitchcocks famous film Notorious.

Tony Vaccaro

Vaccaro took pictures of Soliders during the second world war. He wouls always use Speed Graphic, and Angus C3.However Vaccaro did not find the war romantic unlike Cappa. Vaccaro often risked his life to take good pictures, and went on to develop the pictures, on the battlefield by using the soliders helmets. After the war had finished he then went on to take pictures of the re-building of Germany.

Photo Journalism Part One

Henri Cartier Brassen

                                                    

In this lesson we watched a short film on Henri Cartier Brassen. He was the first person to take a decisive moment photo. It was taken in 1933 and it was of a man jumping over a puddle in Paris. A decisive moment is when a picture is taken within a split second of movement. You are trying to capture what is happening at the time.

We also learned about the Leica camera which was the first camera to have a lens where you can see everything happening from your other eye, because with other cameras the lens covers your eye and restricts what you can see.
