Grant simon rogers biography
•
Grant Simon Rogers is a British-born photographer and artist, now living in Berlin. He creates photographs that have a singular, almost unique contemplation of the beautiful urban flora that surrounds him.
Grant instantly fell in love with the photographic process when handed a camera at art college. But before becoming a professional photographer, he enjoyed careers as an illustrator, film animator and artist.
The theatricality in his work comes from the use of fill flash with his trusty Leica Q camera, emulating the day-for-night filmmaking technique. Grant loves the meditative state he experiences creating these photographs.
When he’s not shooting, Grant teaches art, history of art and visual literacy at some of the world’s most prestigious museums and institutions. He refers to his influences as 'as much Walt Disney as Walt Whitman'.
Grant’s work is collected internationally and he has exhibited across the UK and Europe, including at Fokus Berlin, part of the European Month of Photography 2020 at the KühlhausBerlin.

TERRA INCOGNITA
Where I live in Berlin, there is an avenue of Cherry Trees. They are about 30 years old. They are planted along part of the line of the wall. A shadow of The Wall. Every spring the Berliner Mauer is marked out in blossom. It is beautiful. The wall was demolished 30 years ago.
My flora pictures are made in parks planted over rubble mountains or Schuttberg. Volkspark Friedrichshain is one, Volksparks Hasenheide, Humboldthain have others. I make pictures of trees that are 75 years old in Soviet war memorials or were planted after all other trees were cut down for firewood. Most trees in Berlin are 75 years old. Grasses have been photographed outside Luftwaffe assembly hangars on an airfield that was to be the show piece of Germania.
And then some of the time it is just the Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin, which is of course, full of refugee species.
