"“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 revealing portrait and the explosive surprise.”"

"“EXPLOSIVE is one word that best describes Howard Schatz’s new book, Pairs. Page after page, he excites the eye with dynamic images showcasing his creative range. While locked to the theme, he offers sensuous mermaids, fiery portraits, adoring mothers and playful newborns, athletic combatants, lovers, legends, and dancers with lots of legs. This book is not a “page-turner.” Each photograph invites your undivided attention and Schatz’s pyrotechnic energy always delivers.”"

"“In many years of writing about photography, I’ve known a baker’s dozen truly fine photographers whose work has established them as artists of the first rank. But of all these luminaries, Howard Schatz has produced a greater spectrum of work. His output is nothing short of astonishing — not only a mile wide, but a mile deep. There is simply no one more visually intelligent, adventurous, and indefatigable.”"
