Parker Austin Weekly Artist Post 7

Fred Herzog



1) Fred Herzog was a German Photographer, but is mostly know for taking pictures, such as these, in Vancouver, Canada. The name of this collection is color. He took pictures of people in public setting mostly from the front but has a few from behind such as the first one. He used Kodachrome slides because he believed them to be the best for the time of his work. taking all of his pictures from a few feet back from his subjects and posing as much color into east photo as he could.
2) His use of color was definitely stand out in all of his photos, some a little bit more aware than others but still colorful. He used the them of neon signs and a reoccurring CocaCola theme is a few of his photos. Due to the amount of color in each photo is draws the attention but still leaves something to look at for a long time. 
3) I like these photos a lot and not just because of the color, though it does leave me with a happy feeling. Each photo has its own story and reaction and basically its own life. There is a whole other life to these people that we are catching a glimpse of and it speaks its self so well.
