"The New Yorkers (Signed)" is a collection of works by American photographer Robert Herman (1953-2020). Born in New York, Herman, who also worked in filmmaking, continued to capture the everyday life of the city with his unique sense of color and composition. While belonging to the lineage of color street photography that includes Saul Leiter and Joel Meyerowitz, his work is characterized by cinematic expression that makes use of light and shadow, reflections on glass, and the contrast of vivid colors. This book is a representative work that compiles color photographs taken on the streets of New York from 1978 to 2005. In the rich colors of Kodachrome film, people conversing on the street, portraits seen through shop windows, and the chaotic cityscapes stand out vividly. In particular, New York in the 1980s was a vibrant city where independent shops, graffiti, and various cultures coexisted, and Herman found the beauty hidden in those casual moments. This book documents the transformation of the city while simultaneously reflecting the warmth and loneliness of the people who live there. This is a fascinating collection of works, self-published by the photographer himself, and holds significant interest in the history of American color photography. Signed by the photographer .
