Explain a few words the type and subject of photography that this person produces.
the type of photography Robert Capa producers is about the war.

He produces good work when he was in the war the picture were he is ducking down is a good one because you don't know if he just fell in to the water or is just hiding away from the bullets when he is fighting and it is the same with all the other people in that picture. The 2nd picture is a lady aiming with a gun and he must of got that shot because as she is just about to fire the gun he must of thought he would take that picture because he does not know what she is aiming at. The 3rd picture is just a man fixing something so he can still carry on fighting it gives me a feeling because he is still looking at the picture when he is doing the work.


How does this make you feel?
It gives me a weired feeling and a good feeling because it is in the war and when he takes pictures
They are good pictures but they are also nasty because it is people getting kiled in the war.

It gives me a weired feeling because it is in the war and when he shows the pictures of what it was like that was when it gives me a wiered feeling.



does this person's work influence your own photography how?
Yeah it does because it is really impressive how he takes the photos and hopefully soon I would be able to do the same pictures as Robert Capa. If I was out with my mates I would try to do the same thing but what I would try to do is take pictures of my mates in action.
