Summary: A Thousand Poems
Review: "Rare Creatures" is a wonderful book, adding depth and intensity to a seemingly easy subject matter, making the beautiful more beautiful. Images move beyond shape, transcending sexuality and seduction. As we are drawn into the picture, she ceases to be distant, becoming one that I have always known at the same moment that she becomes timeless; remaining for eternity what we wish to be, what we dream we are. If a picture is able to paint a thousand words, "Rare Creatures" speaks a thousand poems.

Summary: Difficult to grant quality while publishing a book eachyear
Review: I bought this book after reading many reviews, unfortunately I did not like the book at all. The authenticity of Schatz is over, in the book you find photos giving you the feeling of a "deja vu". It's a collection of model's books not conveying at all the particular touch Schatz always had in the past.
Photography is continuous research, but why trying to have it paid by the money of past admirers, poor readers or collectors, using the name of a past glory? Such a tendency continues, Schatz is now in Milano at the Armani cafè with Athlets, great images, sensuous masses, but the exhibition could be a graduation essay of an Adobe Photoshop class. Bye Howard.

Summary: Howard Schatz has done it again.
Review: Once again, Howard Schatz has taken the merely beautiful and made it gorgeous."Rare Creatures" is a compilation of 103 beautiful women who passed through his studio in casting sessions. The elegance of Howard's lighting, rapport with his subjects, and mastery of post production are all beautifully evident in this smoldering small book. Christopher Dean

Summary: Elegant, Evocative, Sexy and Sensual
Review: Radiant beauties glow with ethereal light. Young women from all corners of the world are captured in intimate, evocative portraits, nudes, and digitally hand-tinted transmutations. In just over a decade, photographer and digital master Howard Schatz and his wife and collaborator Beverly Ornstein have created an incredible body of work for both the advertising and editorial realms, including more than a dozen books. Among the latest, Rare Creatures is a stunning paean to youthful beauty. Elegant, evocative, both sexy and sensuous, Rare Creatures is beautifully conceived and sumptuously printed.-HM
