Viewing Bruce Roberts’ photography is one of life’s surprising and enriching experiences. The feelings, emotions, and realities presented in his unposed images touch a deep chord of passion and compassion within us. His talent to capture candid moments in the lives of people attempting to make a positive difference in life is a gift of genius. With only a 35 mm camera, some film, natural light, and a keen eye for the right moment, Bruce has saved for future generations some of the most compelling faces for us to study from the last half of the 20th century. His images introduce us to people we otherwise never would have had the chance to know, yet we all know.

Bruce was weaned on night police patrols, trained on award-winning newspapers, and given the freedom to choose his subjects for nearly every major American magazine or book on the South. His photojournalism focuses on the 1960s and ‘70s while his entire photographic career continues into the 21st century.
