Rod Morris

Rod Morris’s photographs move between quiet contemplation and the charged edge of events, revealing how power, memory and place inscribe themselves on the everyday.

A selection of images by our contributor Rod Morris’. His work brings together photographs that show both his calm, observational style and his commitment to documenting difficult moments, including the image recently published in the Guardian that led to him being beaten by police while working. His pictures often show traces of people and activity rather than obvious action, encouraging viewers to look closely at small details and atmospheres within the frame.

These images highlight Rod’s clear, direct way of looking at the world and his belief in photography as a way to record what happens in front of him, whether on the street, in an interior, or in a museum.
