In Character

It's no wonder that photographer Howard Schatz, trained as an ophthalmologist, has an unwavering eye for the human form. Well known for his series of improvisional portraits of actors for Vanity Fair, the acclaimed photographer now takes on the ultimate theatre of sport and physique in At the Fights. Over the last six years Schatz has entrenched himself in the world of boxing, photographing and interviewing the game's biggest stars and newest players as well as managers, trainers, promoters, club fighters and many others. In 256 oversized pages, Schatz's remarkably powerful images are paired with insightful commentary to provide a truly unique look into the sport. As promoter Lou DiBella tells Schatz, "Boxing is a sport in its purest, most basic form. No sport is more theatrical, dramatic or real." At the Fights beautifully captures all of those aspects in a striking, deluxe package that includes introductory comments by HBO commentator Jim Lampley. Howard Schatz's award-winning photography has been featured in Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine, The Ring magazine, The New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair. He is a well-known and regular ringside presence. At the Fights will be his 19th book.

At the Fights

Botanica

An acclaimed photographer presents an extraordinary new body of work that further reveals his appreciation of the human form in water.

Pool Light

Shooting underwater is an artform, and so is dance photography. Howard Schatz is a master of both. In Water/Dance, he presents classical dancers flying unencumbered by the effects of gravity. In a remarkable combination of light, color and design, these images celebrate the power of movement, the grace of design, and the expressiveness of dance. Over 100 full-color illustrations.

Water Dance

Body Knots celebrates the human body by transforming it into something larger than life. The bodies assume a wild variety of forms: creative compositions, biologic sculpture, and dazzling design. Sometimes witty, sometimes glamourous and sometimes strange, the images are always captivating, beautiful, compelling and fun. In this book, the human body is twisted and turned into shapes and contortions one would not have dreamed possible.

Body Knots

From a master photographer celebrated for his innovative photographs of the human body comes his most stunning exposition year, destined to become the classic body book of all time. Includes graphic photos of nude studies. A gallery exhibition of Schatz's photography is scheduled for January, 2001, in New York City and Los Angeles.

Nude Body Nude

Owen Edwards

Captures illustrious actors and actresses--including Joan Allen, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Douglas, and Geoffrey Rush--as they react to various prompts, demonstrating their emotional and physical range and skill for improvisation.

Caught in the Act

Acclaimed photographer Howard Schatz broke new ground in the 1990s with his books WATER DANCE and POOL LIGHT, two collections of luminous photographs of dancers, some clothed and some nude, all taken underwater. His underwater photography has been called uncanny, lithe and athletic, exquisitely real, and mysterious, and has been widely imitated in art and advertising. The dancers seem to transcend time and space to become floating, ethereal objects. Schatz's new underwater photographs are shot in a state-of-the-art, custom-built pool fitted with studio lights and covered with a giant dome to regulate temperature. The results are stunning. His unique images---at once lyrical, fantastic, and palpably real---express the beauty of inspired movement magically free of the restrictions of gravity.

The Underwater Photography of Howard Schatz

In Passion & Line, Schatz interprets these hard-won creations through his art, combining exploration and adoration in equal measure, This is a mutual exaltation in which photographer, dancer, and observer collaborate. Adoration as its own reward.
