In the 1970s his first photographs were landscape studies of rural Britain. In 1981 he began an ongoing documentation of urban Britain, concentrating on the changing industrial and post-industrial landscape. John has published several books, The British Landscape (Chris Boot, 2006) is his latest. John's photographs have been widely exhibited, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Pompidou Centre, Paris; the Royal Academy of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. John was short listed for the Deutsche Borse Photography Award in 2008.
Simon Roberts:
Simon's photographs have been exhibited widely with recent shows at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai. After spending a year in Russia taking pictures of what would form Motherland (Chris Boot, 2007) Simon sought his attachment to England which came in We English (Chris Boot, 2009). Combinations of both works were on show in NTU's Bonington Gallery earlier this year. Simon was recently commissioned as the Election Artist by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art at the House of Commons to produce an official record of the 2010 British General Election.
