HW #4 Death of a Loyalist Soldier

The photo of the Loyalist Soldier by Robert Capa has been a big point of controversy over the years. I personally cant really decide whether it is staged or not because both sides of the argument make sense to me. After reading Robert Whelans arguments I dont think a lot of his points are really valid. The biggest red flag that was given to this photo being staged was the situation of the other soldier being killed and falling in the same exact spot. that comes of extremely suspicious or extremely coincidental. If we were to find a way to know that it was staged then I think it would have to lose that spot of being one of the best war photos ever taken. unfortunately i think its something that we wont ever really know because it was a long time ago and we weren’t there to see it all go down. if i really wanted to take away from this historical photo i will say its staged but i have grown to  have a respect for Capa and his bravery for being out there so i think it was a authentic photo.
