Fred Herzog: Modern Color

This is a well designed, nicely bound, well- printed compendium of Herzog's lovely color pictures, mostly of his hometown, Vancouver, BC. Still active, Herzog shot most of these in the sixties and seventies, but there are fine pictures right into the new millennium. This is masterful color work, quiet, unassuming; extraordinary pictures of ordinary daily life, shot as I understand, for personal pleasure rather than professional practice. I usually just skim the verbiage in a photo book as it is extraneous to the work itself, and is not as a rule helpful for me to know what I am looking at. But the accompanying essays--there are three-- in Modern Color are actually pertinent and informative. This is a well conceived, excellently presented package of visual joy; highly recommended.

Favorite photographer and favorite photography book.

Wonderfull! A beautiful book in excellent shape though the bookseller said it was “good.” Not quite. It is in excellent condition and one more fine book for my photography collection. Herzog’s color work is well represented here. I also ordered the Herzog Black and White volume from the same bookseller. It is equal in all ways to the Herzog color edition.

A gorgeous book, with many fine prints. I ordered it despite it saying "German Edition" in the Amazon description, because I love Herzog's work. Luckily, it is entirely in English.

With Prime delivery the book arrived overnight in perfect condition. It’s put together well and at this price it was a great bargain compared to what other photography books of this quality cost. The photos were wonderful and they can easily stand along side any modern day digital photos. There was no photoshop or Lightroom in Herzog’s day and to see how well he cropped and composed these photos is something to recognize. This is on my coffee table along with other photography and art books and I’m sure I’ll go through the pages again and again. Really, I can’t speak high enough on how good this book is, the cost, the quality, the photos. It’s all been a treat!

Excellent book

The very best color street photography of a city before development. This book made me rethink color photography.

Un livre absolument magnifique, tant par la grandeur de l'artiste, Fred Herzog, la beauté époustouflante de ses photographies, que par la qualité incroyable de l'édition, la présentation des oeuvres, et pour un prix tout à fait raisonnable pour une telle qualité. Editeurs français prenez en de la graine ! Absolument incontournable pour les amoureux de la photographie, de l'art, de la Beauté.

As an avid street photographer myself, I was instantly interested in Fred Herzog when i stumbled across some of his photos online. Checking with Amazon, I deiscovered this book and decided to take a chance to order it. When it arrived, I was surprised to see how big and heavy it was, and filled with the most beautifully printed photographs and essays. there's enough in this book to keep me occupied for months. What a marvellous find.

Über die beeindruckenden Bilder von Fred Herzog gibt es nichts zu sagen, man muss sie einfach auf sich wirken lassen. Ich habe das Buch als „Gebraucht“ vom Verkäufer artbooksonline gekauft, es kam originalverschweißt und unbenutzt und bestens verpackt bei mir an. Vielen Dank dafür! Buch und Verkäufer kann ich nur empfehlen!

O livro é bem diagramado e tem fotos incríveis.
