We Made It: Photographer Brian David Stevens

What do Notting Hill Carnival and World War II have in common?

Photographer Brian David Stevens has contributed to theartsdesk before, most notably with his subtly powerful gallery of Scottish dunescapes with a piquant political edge. Over on Bruichladdich's site, Joe Muggs talks to him about his latest project, a set of portraits of the home-built technology of Notting Hill Carnival's sound systems – and about his long-running project to document the faces of Those that are Left: the veterans of WWII, who he photographed each year on Armistice Day.
