Photographier la guerre I QL 31

In this new episode of "Quartier Libre", discover the profession of the image soldier, a little-known but essential specialty. Their mission: to document operations, bear witness to the commitment of French soldiers, and produce the images that tell the story of the reality on the ground. Present at the heart of the action, they follow soldiers in training and on operations, under the same conditions as them. Each photograph requires the ability to observe, anticipate, and tell a story, without ever losing sight of the mission's imperatives. Speaking with @CapitaineBrault, Major Arnaud reflects on his career, his daily life, the constraints of this extraordinary profession, and the responsibilities that accompany each image taken. He explains how to document a conflict, what it means to photograph men and women in service, and why certain images leave a lasting mark.
