French photographer Sandra Calligaro has spent much of her career documenting the lives of ordinary people in Afghanistan, especially women and children. Her exhibition at the annual Bayeux Calvados-Normandy war correspondents' festival is both a tribute to Afghan resilience and a declaration of love for a country torn apart by conflict.
In 2007, after studying art and photography in Paris, Calligaro went to Afghanistan for what was meant to be a short trip, pursuing her dream of becoming a war correspondent.
