Robert Capa Death of a Loyalist Soldier , drew a lot of speculations. Even though this was one of the greatest war photo of all times, many people couldn’t believe such greatness was not be manipulated. It’s hard to believe a photo was taken exactly when a bullet was going through this solider head. However, I believe this was truly just a great photo that happened to be taken at just the right time. Rita Grosvenor a British Journalist, even confirmed that the man in the photo was actually killed at battle. Brotons himself also confirmed that only one member had died that day, which now makes two verification that Capa photo is actually real. A photo like this can very much be stages, but when you’re actually capturing an event right before your eyes, sometimes the impossible might actually be possible. Taking a photo can happen so quick where you might not be able to see every little thing happening. However, I don’t think that means the photo might not be authentic. This photo should be appreciated more for the power it holds, rather than people try to down talk the image it’s trying to show.
