Biography
Herzog was born and raised in Stuttgart , Germany . After the death of his parents, in 1952 he emigrated to Canada, where, after a short stay in Toronto and Montreal , in 1953 he settled in Vancouver. Even as a child, Herzog occasionally photographed, however, only after moving to Canada, he began to study photography professionally.
As a photographer, Herzog focuses his attention on the scenes of everyday street life, on “ordinary” people. In the 1950s, color photography was not yet widespread, and Herzog, already then shooting on color film, is considered one of the pioneers of color photography.
