After reading the article āIn Love and Warā by Robert Whelan Iām still not convinced Robert Capaās photo is fake. This is because nothing solid is being said to make the work unauthentic. Also in this case I donāt think authenticity is a big deal. I think staging a war zone is ok because of all the things that could go wrong while trying to capture war during a war. As long as the photographer is able to get their message across Iām ok as a viewer. Weather its fake or real Capa was able to showcase the horrors of war. It gave people who knew nothing about the look or feel of war a visualization of it was and as a critic I believe that is what really matters.
