Professional photographer Denise Baynham, of Denise Baynham Photography joins me to discuss her "Operation Grapple - We Were There" exhibition, traveling around New Zealand since 2020.
19 New Zealand men feature in a photographic exhibition that delves into Operation Grapple, a nuclear testing program conducted in the Pacific from 1957-58. This exhibition tells the story of Operation Grapple through portraits of the veterans who were there, and recollections told in their own words.
Denise's passion for this story was born out of a family trip to the Devonport Navy Museum, where she first read about Operation Grapple. Determined to shed more light on the operation, Denise spent 18 months traveling the country, meeting, photographing, and interviewing veterans present when the bombs went off.
It was an honour to discuss this incredible story with Denise and her experience when meeting the last survivors of this tragic operation.
You can sit with us xoxo
