Summary of Robert Capa
A war photographer that hated war, Capa used a small 35 MM camera to get close to the action and close to his subjects, thus he was able to show the devastating effects of violence on the lives of those in its midst. His approach to Photojournalism was rooted in the idea that photographs could tell stories, that single images could get to the essence of the subjects they captured, and thus his photographs of conflict were imbued with narrative and pathos. His iconic images of the Spanish Civil War and World War II are known today through their widespread reproduction on the printed page.
Through his work as a war correspondent, and the publication of his photographs in magazines and newspapers, Capa set the standard for future photographers and their collaboration with major news outlets.

David Campany
Last autumn, David Campany was invited to appear on a podcast. The conversation was to take the form of a panel discussion on the relationship between image makers and the photography industry. During the recording, the host asked how image makers should present themselves and their work, and two of the panellists “immediately started offering hyper-professional advice. Exactly what format a portfolio should take. Exactly how a statement should be written. Exactly how to talk about your work and even how to photograph yourself,” as Campany described in a widely-shared Instagram post afterwards. He was “a little horrified,” and told them so. “To me it seems extremely dangerous, and extremely lazy, to prescribe how people should present,” he wrote.
It feels increasingly as though the quality most desired in the artistic product — and it does often feel like a product — is palatability: work that is as available and consumable as possible, which means not only that th
