His real name is Endre Ernő Friedmann.
He was born in Budapest in 1913, the son of a Jewish tailor. He was declared the world's most famous war photographer in 1938 by the famous British magazine Picture Post, especially as a result of his work in the Spanish Civil War. His "moment of death" photograph, which he took during the same war, showing the moment a republican soldier was shot on the Córdoba front, has become a war photography icon.
Capa, II. During the Normandy Landing, one of the most important phases of World War II, he photographed the first troops landing on the Omaha coast, the most difficult and dangerous area.
In 1947, he founded Magnum Photos with Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour and George Rodger, which is still among the most important photography agencies in the world.
Capa died in 1954 when he stepped on a land mine while filming French-occupied Vietnam.
