After I watched the video, I do not think Robert Frank’s photographs are artistic at all. He captured so many Americans with no political message. All he had done is photograph people the way they are, without changing or staging anything. Very pure photographs of the Americans. Maybe, Robert Frank didn’t find any happy person to photograph or people were really struggling back in the days. He just did what he loved to do, capture streets, people and understand the Americans. I found Robert Frank is a unique photographer with a pure style.

After reading the article and viewing the photograph over and over, I believe that The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is not a staged photograph. No one gets to capture this kind of photograph, this is why people hardly believe that it is real. Also, I am trying to understand Rober Capa that why did he risk himself to go to the Spanish Civil War, to stage a photograph or capture good shots? He could have done a staged photograph anywhere in the world without risking his life. That’s why the photograph is not fake. It is a very sad capture, but it is real and greatest war photograph.
