A new portrait series by photographer Tom Calton was made by repurposing a 100-year-old camera lens to commemorate British World War One soldiers.
During WWI soldiers were prohibited from using cameras and taking photographs of life in the trenches, however, many still did. They did so by using a small compact camera called the Kodak Vest Pocket film camera that was easy to conceal, and later became known as 'The soldier's camera'. Tom Calton, a photographer based in Peterborough, UK, has repurposed its otherwise fixed lens, adapting it to be used on a modern Sony mirrorless camera, in order to photograph a series of images that commemorate those who fought in the war, and those who defied instruction and photographed their experiences.
