The different circumstances the two photographers
experienced in World War 2 is that one worked for a magazine taking pictures of
the war and the other worked as a soldier who brought his camera to the war
zone.
Robert Capa was a Hungarian war photographer and
photojournalist who took photos in a number of wars but the biggest being World
War 2. In 1947, he co-founded Magnum photos with many other famous
photographers/photojournalists. Robert Capa could leave whenever he wanted to
so that's why he said war is 'romantic' because he never actually got to see
what it was like fighting the war. Tony Vaccaro had to stay in the war zone
until he got asked to leave but Robert Capa could leave whenever he wanted to.

taken in Europe during 1944 and 1945 and in Germany immediately after World War
2. After the war, he became a renowned fashion and lifestyle photographer for
U.S. magazines.Tony Vaccaro carried his camera and gun with him into war.
Facing the gun forward on his hip holding it with one hand and holding his
camera in the other hand. This is how he got the shots of his fellow soldiers
dying. As Tony Vaccaro was actually taking part in the war he had to face the
harshest of conditions but Robert Capa could leave whenever he wanted to.

The differences between the video footage and the photograph of the 'Execution' in the Vietnam war is that is actually show you the executioner shooting the innocent civilian and show you that he actually killed him. In the photograph, although the bullet is already in his head, it doesn't actually show that he has taken the shot. It looks like the civilian is squinting because he is afraid that the soldier is going to shoot him. The only thing that the photo beats the video footage is that the photo captures the exact moment from when the bullet leaves the gun and enters the mans head.
