Robert Capa

Robert Capa was a Hungarian-American war photographer, born Endre Friedmann in Budapest, who photographed five wars. His picture of a Republican militiaman at the moment of death in the Spanish Civil War, The Falling Soldier, made his name, and he waded ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day, where his few surviving frames became famous. He co-founded the Magnum Photos agency in 1947. He was killed by a landmine in Indochina in 1954 while working for Life magazine.
