The first time i saw Robert Cappa’s photograph I didn’t know if it was stage or not. After reading Richard Whelans article i believe that Cappa’s photograph is not staged. I came to this thesis because Captain Franks said that the soldiers fingers are curled towards his palm area. This only happens when a person is already. Which means that the soldiers was already dead when the photo was taken. This goes to show that a dead person cannot pose in a photo. In my opinion authenticity in photographs don’t really matter. Whether its real or not every picture has its own meaning. It also doesn’t have to be real in order for the photograph to send a message.
