Tony Vaccaro.
Born December 20, 1922.
During his life Tony Vaccaro captured the most famous war photographers of the era, showing people at home the extent of war and the reality of death in different parts of the world.
but Tony Vaccaro was a soldier, a part of the war... not a photographer. so his works were not taken seriously until a few years after the war so was actually never thought of as a photographer during the war, juggling around a camera and a gun.
In one moment... even thinking about photography rather than survival. When taking a picture of a person on fire in front of a tank.
Robert Capa.
Robert Cappa was a Hungarian combat Photographer and he defined wartime journalism when he joined soldiers in World War II, documenting their battles in grim images of death close-up detail.
really shining a light on reality for people back home.
He documented many wars... The Spanish Civil war, The 1948 Arab-Israeli war and the first Indochina war.
He died in battle by stepping on a landmine.
