As brightly as with professional actors Howard Schatz works with the heroes of the series “Homeless” and “In prison” using others methods and approaches. He creates sensitive collaboration between himself and people who would seem to have little reason to want to be in front of camera. For a few minutes they are the center of attention not as statistics objects in the debates on public policy but as themselves, as people with their own stories.
His work captures subjects that challenge the viewer to redefine form, place, and perspective. Due to the large formats we are able to relate to the image and to notice the details, usually inaccessible to the human eye.
