1000 WORDS PHOTOGRAPHY, Issue 06, Fall 2009 Book Review of We English
"...You can see in his work, thematic similarities to Tony Ray-Jones, John Davies and Martin Parr, although it is not, of course, ironic or cynical. Still, it isn’t social critique he is after. His work is unashamedly beautiful, more subtle in its discovery and representation of forms of cultural character and identity which actually, upon closer inspection, reveals a much great richness of detail and meaning.

CREATIVE REVIEW, October 2009 Book Review of We English Landscape as Portrait
"In his book, We English, photographer Simon Roberts looks at contemporary English leisure in all its collective glory.
Like a well-planned domestic family holiday, photographer Simon Roebrts' journey around England for his latest book was a mission in itself. He took his Talbot Express Swift Capri motorhome (plus family) and a hefty 5 x 4 large-format camera on a quest to capture the English at leisure. We English,... [more]

NEW YORK MAGAZINE, October 5, 2009 Simon Roberts — EDITOR'S PICK
"A gorgeous series of lyrical, light-strewn photographs that the artist took of the English at play—bathers in a chilly-looking Gloucestershire, a couple miniaturized amid misty hills in East Sussex—on a tour of his homeland; through 10/24". [more]

THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY REVIEW, October 4, 2009 Arts & Books Reviews
“Combining a Martin Parr-esque British wit with wide, open skies and an almost visible damp chill that are reminiscent of Mike McCartney’s Liverpool photographs, ‘We English’ is the result of a year-long odyssey through England in, fittingly, a motor home. Picturing ordinary people doing curious things, Roberts looks for ‘beauty in the mundane’.” [more]

BBC NEWS, October 1, 2009 The English at Leisure — Phil Coomes
"...I think Simon has achieved all he set out to, and much more. The pictures are in themselves undeniably beautiful, but their real power comes from the collection as a whole.
To remove from the stream of time a series of moments that are instantly recognisable as being part of life in England is a real achievement, and one that will ensure this collection will become the defining study of life in England at the end of this de... [more]

THE INDEPENDENT, October 1, 2009 This is England: A new book of photos captures the essence of the English outdoors — Hannah Duguid
"...I am part of a lineage of other photographers, such as Martin Parr, Tony Ray-Jones and Bill Brandt, who have captured the social, political and cultural landscape of Britain and England. But there has been very little done in the past decade. My gist is quite optimistic. I am not being critical."—Simon Roberts

PHOTO DISTRICT NEWS, September 25, 2009 Simon Roberts, We English — Photo of the Day
"In 2005, I spent a year traveling across Russia to produce Motherland, a book exploring the Russians’ attachment to their homeland. This attachment to place was somewhat mysterious–simultaneously profound and banal–and it led me to think about my own sense of belonging and memory, identity and place. We English became another journey, not quite as epic as that across Russia, but involving a 1993 Talbot Exp... [more]
