The answers draw on the shape of Robert Capa's thinking across work like The Falling Soldier, D-Day Magnificent Eleven, and Co-founded Magnum Photos — translated into a voice you can actually talk back to.
Ask plainly. Push back. Follow a thread until it goes somewhere. This isn't a lookup — it's a conversation with a mentor who's already done the thinking you're about to do.
