Robert Capa

Robert Capa, famous for decisive moment in photography and was a WAR Photographer and was in action in World War 2, Vietnam, Spanish Civil War and the Chinese Resistance to Japan. Working for 'Life' Magazine, Capa was paid to go into action, not to kill but to capture moment during the wars.

 

World War II

During the World War II Capa went into the most famous event in history 'D-Day Landing' and was in the boats that landed first. Capturing 106 photo's most of them were  and was left with only 11 also known as 'The Magnificent Eleven', because Life Magazine had a deadline to publish the photo's, devloping the photo's in a london caused 95 photo's being destroyed. 'The Magnificent Eleven' were truely amazing has it showed the landing of D-Day, capturing soldiers running onto the beach.

Tony Vaccaro

Tony Vaccaro was bored on December 20th 1920, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The American solider/photographier was in action during World War II (1944-45), while going to war Vaccaro took a camera so while he was fighting he would take shots of enemy tank's been blowed up, dead soldiers ect.

Vaccaro had to go into battle and could take shots, he got his first job as a photographer for the U.S. authorities stationed at Frankfurt and then with the weekend, the sunday supplement of the U.S. Army newspaper Stars and Stripes, Until 1949, Vaccaro photographed throughout Germany and Europe, documenting post-war life.Vaccaro would get much closer into the action to get his shot's unlike Capa, as you can see between their photos on here.

Capa and Vaccaro Comparison 

Both photographer's risked their life during World War II to get the shots we see today. Capa was recognised more because he worked more LIFE magazine and more people would of seen his photography work getting published, where as Vaccaro was working for a little newspaper company and fighting in the war, but I think Vaccaro's photo's will be remembered the most as his world war II images touched most peoples hearts and will be part of history as there aren't many photos of world war II
