D-Day, 75 Years Later

This gallery documents the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, photographed in 2019 during commemorations marking one of the final major milestones many World War II veterans were able to attend. Images include veterans, memorial gatherings, historical reenactments, and the surrounding landscape where the invasion took place.

Each year, people from around the world return to this region to honor those who participated in the liberation of Western Europe, preserving memory through ceremony, reenactment, and shared presence. Alongside these events, the photographs observe the Normandy coastline and countryside itself — terrain permanently shaped by history, where remembrance exists not only through commemoration, but through place.
