Fred Herzog: Photographs (2011) and Fred Herzog: Vancouver (2007) highlight this photographer’s work.

The first of these two books, which are available at the Toronto Public Library, notes that: “Fred Herzog has worked with Kodachrome slide film for over 50 years, but only in the past few years has technology allowed him to make archival pigment photographic prints of exceptional colour and intensity.”
