Capa Photographs

This is a beautiful book by one of the great photographers who shot his dramatic photos right at the frontline of wars. His years in Paris, his friendship and photos of the giants of European art and cultur reflects the recognition he received from his contemporaries. His tragic death in Vietnam was a great loss for everyone interested in his art!

Pure empathy

Ordinary people caught under extraordinary circumstances are what give these images the power that they have and elicit pure empathy from the viewer. Robert Capa earned his place in photographic history and left behind a body of work for us to consider...

Amazing photographs

This book has some really amazing photography, they have a really powerful message. I like photos that make me feel something and Robert Capa's photos difinatly do that. Robert Capa was in the right place and the right time with alot of his photos. The only thing the book lacked i feel is more background on the photos.
