In my opinion I do believe “the falling soldier” photograph taken Robert Capa was staged. Although the picture also makes you think that it might be authentic because in the article written by Richard Whelan says that Federico Borrel Garcia … Continue reading
Response To: Photographing the Beginning of the Civil Rights Movements
