GEORGE RODGER WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE LAST CENTURY . A FOUNDER , WITH HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON AND OTHERS , OF THE MAGNUM PHOTO AGENCY , RODGER WAS THE EPITOMY OF THE CONCERENED PHOTOGRAPHER , THE SEARCHER AFTER THE IMAGE THAT CONVEYED THE HUMAN STORY IN ITS MOST COMPASSIONATE FORM .
AS MARTIN CRAIGER-SMITH OBSERVED IN MAGNUM OPUS :

IN MARCH 1948 RODGER LEFT CAPE TOWN WITH HIS FIRST WIFE CICELY , ON A TWO-YEAR JOURNEY OVERLAND TO CAIRO. THEIR ITINERARY WAS UNPLANNED ; RODGER`S AIM WAS TO FIND SETTLEMNTS REMOTE FROM COLONIAL CIVILISATION . IT WAS IN SOUTHERN SUDAN THAT HE CAME CLOSEST TO WHAT HE WAS SEEKING . AND THERE THAT HE PRODUCED SOME OF HIS MOST STRIKING AND SUCCESSFUL WORK - AT THE LATUKA RAINMAKING CEREMONY AND WITH THE BARI TRIBE ON THE UGANDA BORDER , WITH THE DINKA AND , AT KORDOFA , WITH THE NUBA

RELYING ON HIS REMARKABLE ABILITY TO GAIN ACCEPTANCE , RODGER STAYED WITH MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES FOR WEEKS , PHOTOGRAPHING , IN HIS WORDS , NOT EXHAUSTIVELY BUT ` WHEN SOMETING HAPPENED ` . HIS APPROACH WAS NEITHER DISPASSIONATE AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL , NOR SENSATIONAL . HE PORTRAYED WHAT HE FOUND DIRECT , IN A MANNER WHICH REFLECTED HIS OWN GENUINE EXCITMENT AND HIS INSTINCTIVE SYMPATHY AND ADMIRATION FOR THE PEOPLE HE ENCOUNTERED . HE RECOGNISED IN HIMSELF A STRONG BOND WITH THE PEOPLE HE MET HERE , AND NEEDED NO CONTRIVANCE TO HEIGHTEN THE ALREADY CONSIDERABLE DRAMA OF HIS SUBJECTS , NO WIDE ANGLES OR BEWILDERING CLOSE-UPS - ONLY THE STARK CONTRAST AFFORED BY THE AFRICAN LIGHT . WHERE POSSIBLE HE INCLUDED IN THE IMAGE THE ENVIRONMENT OF HIS SUBJECTS , TO EXPLAIN RATHER THAN MYSTIFY , TO CONVEY THE UNITY OF MAN WITH NATURE WHICH HE SAW AS HIS IDEAL , THE REAL END OF HIS QUEST . THE BEST IMAGES FROM HIS JOURNEY APPEAR AS A CLIMAX TO RODGER`S CAREER , THE CLOSEST EXPRESSION OF WHAT HE SOUGHT CONSTANTLY IN HIS TRAVELS , AND STROVE FOR HIS PHOTOGRAPHY . `

GEORGE RODGER - THE NIBA
