Capa was a Hungarian combat photographer nd photojournalist who covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, WWII across Europe, and he documented the course of World War II in London, N. Africa, Italy and Battle of Normondy and the liberation of Paris. He was known for being up close and personal with his photographs and in that way was rather careless his photographs as a war photographer had made him a legend in modern photography, but came to an abrupt end when he stepped on a land mine on an obscure battlefield in Indochina. Capa co-founded
Magnum Photos with, among others, the
French photographer Henri Bresson. The organization was the first cooperative agency for worldwide freelance photographers.
