Briefly describe Kappa's instant photography activities and the influence of his classic photography works on photography development.

Robert capa (19 13- 1954) is more qualified than anyone to speak on behalf of war writers, expressing the mentality and cost of exchanging life for images. He is the most famous war correspondent in history, and his photography career is like gambling. During World War II, he exchanged his own flesh and blood for a space negative in Leica camera during the bullets in various war zones-Spanish Civil War, Japanese invasion of China, North Asia War, Italian War, Normandy Landing War and French Liberation War. He never withdrew his bets from the gambling table at the last minute. He always held the lofty sentiments of winning and not losing and resigned himself to fate, and put all his eggs in one basket, waiting for the beads on the roulette wheel to stop at that number. Kappa won the war photos that no one can match up to now, but on May 25th, 1954, he lost his life in a small gambling game-he accidentally stepped on a mine and was blown to pieces. Rob Kappa, a soldier who died in battle in the video, will be branded in people's hearts forever. His photos have become symbols of mankind and war. He hated war all his life and wanted to use images to awaken people's conscience and stop killing each other. His death is the last advice to mankind. Looking at the photo of the card, it seems that you can hear the sound of bullets flying and shells rumbling. Every frame is evidence of human stupidity.

In people's remaining memory, there is a photo of Kappa with a burning cigarette in his mouth and a camera in his hand. He looked at the reader of the photo with calm eyes. There is a line in the upper right corner: the man who invented himself-Andre Friedman, that is, robert capa.

Robert capa is not so much a war correspondent as an adventurer, or an alternative soldier with a camera instead of a gun. Before landing in Normandy, he once said, "The war correspondent's bet-his life is in his own hands. He can bet on this horse or that horse or put it back in his pocket at the last minute. I'm a gambler, so I decided to follow the first echelon of Camp E. He is a gambler who gambles with his life on the battlefield.
