Photographer Simon Roberts talks about his recent work We English, followed by a book signing.

We English is the result of a year’s travel around England by Roberts, in a motorhome, documenting its landscape on a large format 5x4 camera. Informed by the photography of his predecessors and by the romantic tradition of English landscape painting, Roberts depicts the English at leisure within pastoral landscapes. His photographs explore the notion that nationhood - that what it means to be English - is to be found on the surface of contemporary life, encapsulated by banal everyday rituals and activities. 

The work of Simon Roberts (b.1974) has been published and exhibited widely, and is represented in major public and private collections.

This event is now FULLY BOOKED
