Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1955, Robert Herman studied filmmaking at New York University. After graduation, he became a production still photographer on feature motion pictures. Inspired by the life and photographic possibilities on the periphery of the film set he became a street photographer. He recently earned his Masters Degree at the School of Visual Arts. His work is included in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY and the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA, as well as in many private collections, including the Westin and Marriott Hotels. Winner of a PX3 Prix de la Photographie People's Choice Award and the Alitalia per L'Arte, Rome.
