Award winning international photographer Robert Herman elevates the practice of street photography in The Phone Book. With the iPhone, he has created compelling images from his travels around the world. Inspired by the new Hipstamatic App, The Phone Book compendium is a creative labyrinth that invites the viewer to discover their own connections between the images. As the follow up to his critically acclaimed first monograph, The New Yorkers, Robert Herman captures the world in brilliant spontaneity; unique in his artistry and universal in its humanity.

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
