Robert Capa, pseudonym of Endre Ernő Friedmann (Budapest (Hungary), 22 October 1913 – Thai Binh, (Vietnam) 25 May 1954), was a Hungarian war correspondent and photojournalist of the 20th century. He left Hungary at the age of 17. He travelled all over the world looking for the best shots for his camera. This took him to Mexico, Italy, France, Japan, Indochina, Vietnam, Israel, England and North Africa.
His first published photograph, taken in 1932, showed Leon Trotsky giving a lecture on the Russian Revolution. He managed to get the photo even though cameras were not allowed at the politician’s rally.
