Herman Gerber is a professional live wildlife photographer and 6th generation African.

He was born and bred in Cape Town and frolicked all over Southern Africa as a child. From a young age he has enjoyed the wilds of Africa and mastered the family handycam, dreaming of one day ending up in the entertainment or conservation industry.

He has completed an acting degree at the University of Stellenbosch and after that travelled with a community theatre for a while, ... only to become more and more intrigued by jobs behind the camera.

Then, after doing a specialised wildlife film making course in Cape Town in 2008, he received a call from Graham Wallington and the rest is history. He moved to the beautiful Sabi Sand Game Reserve to do camera work for WildEarth and is now head camera operator for safari.tv.
