After reading the article I totally disagree with this photograph being stage. I don’t think such photograph can be stage Robert Capa happen to capture the picture at the right moment. Although there is good points that this is a fake picture because you can’t see a gunshot wound, I still believe it takes a higher level of skill to depict the reaction of being shot. This has been a big controversy over the years. As you can see a photo and the way the soldier is positioned, it’s hard to get that pose. It’s a very uncomfortable pose. I believe this is a real photo, the photographer risk his life every day in this war taking moments in real life. He is very talented.
