New Sports Illustrated Book, At
The Fights, Opens Eyes To World Of Boxing Like No Other
It
is one thing to have one career as a world-renowned specialist, but it is quite
rare to become world-renowned in a second career, in a totally different field.
One of my clients did just that - -and to stunning results.
For
23 years Howard Schatz was an internationally respected retina specialist,
researcher, medical textbook writer, and Clinical Professor at the University
of California Medical Center in San Francisco.
In 1995 he left San Francisco for New York to pursue a career in
photography. And what a career it has been. He is releasing his 19th
book, AT THE FIGHTS (si.com/atthefights) in a week, and
it has already been featured in Sports
Illustrated and Time. This Sunday, November 11, his work will be
featured on the cover of the NYT Sunday Magazine as well as to illustrate
the cover story.
Since
he left medicine he has become recognized as one of the most accomplished,
prolific, and award-winning photographers of the past 17 years. His photographs have appeared in countless
publications. Vanity Fair ,ESPN Magazine and others have published his work regularly. He has done covers for
Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, New York Magazine, Time, and US News & World Report.. His work
has also appeared in GQ, Vogue, Harpers
Bazaar, Forbes, Elle, and “O” The
Oprah Magazine. He has photographed many prominent
individuals, including: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Jane
Lynch, Michael Douglas, Pierce Brosnan, Ricky
Gervais, Sissy Spacek, Robin Williams, Pele, David Beckham, Albert Pujols,
Ichiro Suzuki, Muhammed Ali, Alonzo Mourning, Serena Williams, George
Steinbrenner, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Condoleezza Rice, and
Mikhail Baryshnikov. His commercial clients include Adidas, Ralph Lauren,
Nike, SONY, Mercedes-Benz, Escada, Virgin Records, and McDonalds among dozens
of others.
His newest book features the
people important to boxing today, depicting the culture of the sport and its
business, including over 70 champion boxers -- current, recent and legendary.
This evocative book is a visual triumph that features:
