In August 2007 award-winning photographer Simon Roberts embarked upon on a 13-month journey around England to document the lives and landscapes of his home country with a large format camera. The resulting photographs are lush in their painterly composition—Roberts lists Breughel and LS Lowry as influences—but defiantly mundane in subject matter, conceived as an unflinching and unbiased exploration of what it means to be English today. They are collected in We English, published by Chris Boot.
