Throughout his career, Sebastião Salgado has made several documentary series through his photography. Just from this singular photo I have included above, one can tell that Sebastião Salgado was able to capture intense and powerful moments in time. As for Robert Capa, one would say the same. After looking at several of Robert Capa’s image I have learned that he was able to use people as his subjects in order to create powerful images for his documentary photography.
