In such uniquely visionary books as Water Dance, Pool Light, Passion & Line, and Nude Body Nude, Howard Schatz has established himself as one of the great photographers of the human form. Working primarily with dancers, Schatz has been particularly attracted to form shaped by function. Now, in Athlete, he reaches the zenith of his photographic paean to the human body, creating an astonishing record of the specialized forms both adapted to the wide spectrum of sport and shaped by fiercely focused effort. His subjects, as varied and meticulously documented as Audubon's birds, literally embody the astonishing array of physical perfection required for their particular sports. With a seamless blend of art and precision, Schatz shows us the awesome upper-body power of Olympic wrestling champion Rulon Gardner discus thrower Adam Setliff, and football player Joe Johnson; the lissome graces of high jumper Charles Austin and rhythmic gymnast Jessica Howard; the shock-absorbing legs of downhill skier Daron Rahlves; the sculptural perfection of NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens and sprinter Sean Crawford; the compact muscularity of gymnasts Tasha Schwikert and Sean Townsend; the Giacometti-like slenderness of marathoners Tegla Loroupe and American marathon champion Deena Drossin; as well as 125 other athletes at the top of their games, In serene portraits and intricately dissected motion photographs, Schatz gives us an unprecedented celebration of the body as divine machine, and manages at the same time to present a collective view of the human spirit at its most intense. The photographs of Howard Schatz are exhibited in museums and photography galleries internationally and are included in innumerable private collections. He has received international acclaim for his work and is one of the most sought-after photographers working today Athlete is the fourteenth book of photographs by Howard Schatz, His four most recent books are: the powerful and sensual study of the human body in Nude Body Nude; the richly humorous and playfully elegant Body Knots, which breaks new ground with its view of the body; Passion & Line, an arrestingly beautiful photographic profile of dancers; and Pool Light, the thrilling ensemble of underwater images that was featured in magazines around the world, including France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Russia, Israel, and Japan. His work has appeared in hundreds of publications, including Time, Vogue, Sports Illustrated, Life, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Elie, Harper's Bazaar, Forbes, Geo, Block & White, Stem, Amadeo, American Photo, and Entertainment Weekly Schatz's editorial and fashion photography is seen regularly in the United States and abroad, and he has made extraordinary images for such advertising clients as Sony, Nike, Finlandia Vodka, Etienne Aigner, Target, MGM Grand Hotel, Virgin Records (the Janet Jackson music video "Every Time"), Dannon, Wolford Swimbodies, Pantene, Barely There, AT&T, IBM, Showtime, and Mercedes-Benz.

This book of seventy-five portraits and first-person stories were made in the street during Schatz' year-long exploration of the plight of the homeless. "What Howard Schatz has done to make the extraordinary portraits in this book is to create a collaboration between himself and people who would seem to have little reason to want to be photographed. They have been left out of history, whether or not they happen to be included as statistics in the debates on public policy. They are mostly lost to their families and unwanted by businesses and neighborhoods comprehended as numbers more than names, visual evidence of society's ills more than human faces. But not to Schatz. In the best tradition of photographic portraiture, with that rare, affable ability to gain trust that lifts the form to its most memorable height, he has made a record of people in the grip of hard times not as symbols of human need, but as themselves. For a few minutes, they are the center of attention. By dedicating himself unequivocally to the act of photographing and by giving both subjects and viewers the dignity of art's formal distance, Howard Schatz renders irrelevant the dangers that lurk in photographs of the poor and downtrodden the sympathy that can so easily become smug, the pathos that leads to patronizing, the sense that 'there but for the grace of God go I' that can lure us into relief and a self-congratulatory sort of comfort, the shock that arouses first shame and then rejection. Schatz offers respect for his art, for those who are the focus of that art, and for those who view it. The message we take away is up to us. He doesn't grab us by the shoulders and shout, 'Feel sorry!'
