DB 5 War Images Fenton, Brady, Gardiner and Capa were all photographers that captured images of war.   Fenton, the first to depict the war, did not take any photos of actual war or the aftermath . I got the impression that he wasn't close enough to the real action and took photographs of what he saw from where he was on the outskirts.   Brady did not take many of the photographs in his collection.  H hired others to do the work for him.  The collection did not capture the reality of the war.   Gardners photographs are a lot more graphic!  He captured the reality of the ugly side of the war were happening around them.   Capa, unlike the others, liked to photograph peoples expressions as events of the war.  He tried to show the brighter side, showing caring and compassion in his photographs.  He lived by his own rule "If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough".
