 Herb Snitzer Herb Snitzer's career covers over forty-five years of image-making commencing in 1957 when he graduated from the Phila. College of Art and moved to New York City where he quickly established himself as one of the better young Photojournalists. He worked for LIFE, LOOK, The THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, FORTUNE, TIME and other National Magazines as well as for the New York TIMES and HERALD TRIBUNE. He became Photography and Associate Editor of America's Leading Jazz Magazine, METRONOME, which enabled him to meet and photograph and become friends with many of the great jazz musicians of that era; Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Duke Ellingtton, John Coltrane, Count Basie, etc.
His photographic, social and political interests cover a wide spectrum of issues, which find themselves in his visual work. Freedom, Equality, Justice are all expressed in his political images, yet he has also found the time to work with more personal and intimate images expressing what he thinks and feels about life and living.
His work is in the collections of many museums and private collectors; Elton John, Bill Cosby, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Museum of Modern Art, Houston Museum of Fine Arts and Boston Museum of African American History to name a few. He maintains a St. Petersburg, Fl studio, which is continuously being visited by younger colleagues as well as others interested in his work. He welcomes the visits.
He is also the author of *six books, the most recent "Such Sweet Thunder", published on TrueFire.com.
*The New York I Know
*Summerhill, A Loving World
*Today Is For Children
