"Their itinerary was unplanned; Rodger's aim was to find settlements remote from colonial ‘civilization.’ 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 … 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 something happened.' His approach was neither dispassionate and anthropological, nor sensational. He portrayed what he found directly, in a manner which reflected his own genuine excitement 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 afforded 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." - Martin Caiger-Smith, George Rodger Magnum Opus: Fifty Years in Photojournalism (1987)
