Armistice Day

Brian David Stevens, the photographer, has been photographing veterans on the 11th November for the past seven years:

for the past 7 years on remembrance day I have been shooting portraits of veterans, the portraits are all shot in the same style, crop etc,

I am aiming to keep shooting it for at least another 3 years. The project is based around the concept of The Unknown Soldier

“…They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them…”

from Laurence Binyon’s ‘The Fallen’ (first published in The Times, 21st September 1914)
