Who's alive?

They That Are Left 2011

Photographer Brian David Stephens’ series of portraits of individual veterans, taken over eight years’ worth of Remembrance Day services. Though each of those pictured must have a compelling story to tell, Brian has embraced the concept of the Unknown Soldier. “The viewer is given no information just a portrait,” Brian said.

He added: “These faces then are as of unknown soldiers, no cap badges, no ribbons of spooling medals, no insignia for military rank. They are faces only. Each deep-etched with who they are and what they did, that we might look, and think - and thank them.”
