As a photographer and videographer based in Paris, Rouen, Normandy and France, I covered the visit of Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence of Australia and Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of the Armed Forces of France, for the Australian Department of Defence, on the 1st of September 2022 during his trip to Europe. It is the first time I photographed a meeting between two ministers with so many interesting things to see: Reviewing of the troops, helicopter transport to the frigate "Bretagne", visit of the frigate "Bretagne", storming of the ship by the French Marine Commandos, transport to the Somme by Falcon jet at low altitude to view the D-Day beaches and other highlights. The visit ended with a wreath deposit at the Monash centre, which commemorates Australia's help and sacrifice to France during the First World War.
