Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1955, Robert Herman’s work is part of the permanent collections of the George Eastman House and the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA, Westin Hotels and Resorts and the Marriott Hotels.

In June 2015, the New York Times featured 'The Phone Book' with a slide-show of images. The piece was entitled 'Robert Herman Squares New Photos With Past Work, Using an iPhone App'. See the link below for the article - and the slide-show!

"Known for his award winning street photography, Herman used Hipstamatic's square format to create this unique collection of iPhone photographs made while traveling across the world." -- Elizabeth Avedon

"This title is filled with color and black-and-white photos that are by turns compassionate, witty, and observant. [It] shows that we're not living entirely in a digital or print world, but instead one that creatively merges aspects of both." -- Michael Dashkin, Library Journal
