Simon Roberts on the election project

The general election is but a distant memory but, as some of you might remember, this was the first UK election to be documented by an official election artist. I blogged about the project back in March.

Photographer Simon Roberts was commissioned by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art to record the campaign and today his work is unveiled at a show in Portcullis House, Westminster. The show is open to the public this weekend, between 10am and 5pm. Details can be found on the UK Parliament's website.

For now though, sit back and enjoy an audio slideshow in which Simon talks about the stories behind some of the pictures.
