I have decided to look at these two images of the Second World War as both are very iconic and meaningful during the time and even now. Each image shows a victory for both sides in the war. The rising of the flag shows victory and peace for the Allies and the other Hitler in front of the tower shows victory for the Nazi’s and dread for the Allies. Both creates different feelings the first of hope and victory the other of dread and despair yet both depict victory for each army.

Eddie Adams
‘The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera.’
Adams had to apologies to the General in the image for the dame it caused his reputation while he was alive, showing that the power of a photograph is very powerful indeed they do not lie and depict real feelings and emotions that are happening at the moment in time.
Margaret Bourke-White
When most people think of war photographer they think of men yet this women proved that women can do this gruesome style of photography as well. She was the first foreign photographer permitted to take picture of Soviet Industry, the first female war correspondent (also the first female permitted to work in combat zones).
