Robert Capa’s “the death of a loyalist soldier” or also known as the falling soldier is a great piece of art, this photograph looks like if it was staged but then suddenly it became reality when a sniper from the rival unit took a shot and it was captured by the Photographer Robert Capa. One of the reason this photo is so famous because this was the first time when someone captured a person getting killed on camera, before it was not possible due to the long exposure time of the cameras. After reading Richard Whelan reflection on the photograph I am certain that this photo was staged because of the way he points out everything in so much detail and no one will place the gun away from him while others are shooting at him and after reading the post and examining the photo To me this photograph was very much like Alexander Gardners, Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter. It was staged the same way as the gardners was staged with a gun on the side of rebels body .
