An exhibition of his 'We English' photographs is currently on at the Media Museum in Bradford. Well worth catching as the detail in these large format prints is simply not there in the book. There's alsosome good supporting info on the museum's website: http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/simonroberts/TheExhibition.aspx

Simon Roberts is an inspired choice, I applaud The House of Commons for choosing him. "We English" was brilliant and I look forward to seeing how he photographs your election.

Good choice,I'd like to see Martin Parr having a bash too though.

Would his photos be different if he used a 4x5 instead of a 5x4? Is it the same thing with a different accent? I wonder.

We just prefer the landscape 5x4 format over here. You lot seem to prefer the vertical 4x5!

Do you shoot 36mm x 24mm in the UK as well ?

Yes.... but looking at your profile picture, it appears that you prefer 24mm x 36mm!

We have the fourth but we don't make such a big deal out of it.
