Iosif Berman (1892–1941), photographer, early Romanian photojournalist.
During the mid-1920s, Berman collaborated with the Romanian sociologist Dimitrie Gusti, who studied Romanian villages and traditions, and with Filip Brunea-Fox (1898–1977) on his reportage articles.

After the World War II, the communist government tried to use the photos for propaganda, but they were hardly propaganda material. According to a researcher at Museum of the Romanian Peasant, he presented a realist view of the rural life, with its poor, its gypsies, its village idiot.
