Apresentação da síntese final do artigo The ‘Greatest Of War Photograhers’ de Thierry Gervais. O artigo tem como figura central o fotógrafo Jimmy Hare, e levanta algumas questões fulcrais sobre a natureza da fotografia na sua relação com a imprensa no virar do século XIX. Partilha iniciada em Halftone.

“After beginning as an ‘artist,’ in the opening years of the twentieth century Hare became a ‘war photographer’ whose journalistic commitment and willingness to take risks were powerful arguments for disseminating new images of questionable aesthetic merit. Twenty-four years before Robert Capa was declared ‘the greatest war-photographer in the world’ by Picture Post (1938), Leslie’s Weekly introduced Jimmy Hare to its readers as the ‘greatest of war photographers’ (1914).”
