WAR BEACHES: A series of 25 images, shot in 2014, a few days before the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy. Loaded with historical significance, these beaches are where thousands of soldiers and civilians engaged in bloody battles during the First and Second World Wars. I chose not to focus on the beaches’ wartime events, but rather show the mesmerizing beauty of these places, where time has cleansed the landscape of humankind's folly.
