Simon Roberts employs a documentary photographic strategy focusing on contemporary English life and landscapes. His images capture a range of public and private moments that collectively explore social identity and community across England.

We English presents a portrait of England through carefully composed photographs that often juxtapose people with their environments, highlighting subtle social dynamics and the interplay between tradition and modernity. The mood ranges from contemplative to quietly observant, emphasizing the everyday realities of English society.

Published in 2009 by Chris Boot, the 112-page edition of We English offers a measured visual study rather than narrative or historical overview, inviting viewers to consider the nuances within English cultural and social landscapes.
