Snapshot. Fred Herzog. Episode 7
Description
Fred Herzog was born in Stuttgart, Germany but is a Vancouver treasure. As a young man with no photographic skills, he arrived in Vancouver in 1952 and after picking up a camera he started documenting the city he came to love and call home. He captured the city and its life in startling historical detail. His work today is highly collectable and commands international attention. Snapshot celebrates innovative photographers from across the creative spectrum. In its first season, Snapshot explores the creative process and lifestyles of six unique photographers, covering a diverse range of subjects from Photo Journalism to Dance, Documentary to Fine Art. Snapshot presents a unique opportunity to turn the camera on the shooter. Aside from watching the photographers at work on location and in studio, the Snapshot team attends photographic exhibitions, galleries, and events to gather perspective from collectors, critics, curators, and fans.
