WHO IS HE?Roger Fenton was a British photographer. In 1853, he was appointed as the official photographer of the Crimean War, taking 360 photographs in all. Although his pictures only depicted the "acceptable" parts of the conflict, they were the first to capture the mundane aspects of warfare. After a few exhibits of his work in London and Paris, he returned to practicing law.
