New Howard Schatz Photography Book Culls 1,100 Best Images from 4 Million

NEW YORK, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- You have not truly seen the world until you have witnessed the illuminating photography of Howard Schatz. The internationally critically-acclaimed, award-winning photographer is one of the most prolific artists of his time. His new two-book set, Schatz Images: 25 Years, (Glitterati, $500, June, 2015; www.schatzimages25years-glitterati.com) captures breathtaking images that will fascinate those who love original, cutting-edge photographs.

Perhaps Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter says it best: "Howard Schatz is so versatile that this volume at times seems like the work of a dozen photographers, Weegee, Avedon, Penn, Beaton, Newton, and Goude, among them. He has affection for his subjects—athletes, dancers, models, actors, pregnant moms, and interesting nobodies—and it shows in every remarkable image. Sometimes funny, often dramatic, he is a master both of the quiet portrait and the explosive surprise."

Schatz's work ranges from world-class athletes and dancers to actors acting and portraits of homeless people, from stunning images made in light and pattern to studies of pregnancy and newborns. There is no other photographer in the world who has explored such an enormous range of subject matter and no other book like Schatz Images: 25 Years. The elegant and luxurious two-book boxed set includes work from the course of the last 25 years. Each of the volumes is 12x12 inches, and together they contain 832 pages and 1083 original and sumptuous photographs. The beautifully bound set is stored in a custom slipcase, limited to 500 signed and numbered copies.

His work has been published in 20 books and exhibited in numerous galleries and museum exhibitions worldwide and is contained in innumerable private collections. His images are regularly featured in illustrious publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Time, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, GQ, and The New Yorker. Schatz has worked with such prominent clients as Ralph Lauren, Escada, Sergio, Nike, Reebok, Sony, and Mercedes-Benz, and he's won nearly every award in his field.

Some of the subjects featured in the set include: Dance, Underwater Studies, Athletes, Fashion & Beauty, Actors, Models & Their Moms, Motion Studies, Botanical, Pregnancy, and Liquid Light Studies.

Prior to becoming a photographer as he neared age 50, the scientist-turned-artist was an internationally renowned ophthalmologist and Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco.
