Robert Capa was a legendary Hungarian-American war photographer born Endre Ernő Friedmann on October 22, 1913, in Budapest. Together with Henri Cartier-Bresson and others, he founded Magnum Photos, revolutionizing photojournalism. Known as "the greatest war photographer," Capa covered five major wars throughout his career. His famous motto—"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough"—became a guiding principle for generations of photographers. He died tragically on May 25, 1954, stepping on a landmine in Vietnam while covering the First Indochina War, at just 40 years old. His iconic photographs from the Spanish Civil War, D-Day, and other major conflicts remain powerful historical documents. more
