HW#4 Robert Capa

The death of a falling solider was a controversial photograph because people believed it was stages and there are others that don’t believe it was stages. I found Richard’s argument convincing in a way but then again, I don’t believe it’s true. After reading the article I still don’t believe this photograph was staged. I don’t believe it was staged because he would risk his life for his photographs and in the article, Richard writes that people confused Capa for another photographer for staging the photographs of the solider in war because there was little action going on. Also, the solider was actually dead, if it was staged he would have been alive after the photograph was published. I believe that authenticity does not matter.
