Aside from dancers and underwater figures, Schatz has also interviewed and photographed homeless people and prisoners. He has photographed pregnant women and newborns, even chronicling the growth of 200 newborns into maturity–sometimes for up to 20 years.

Having captured images of the homeless to celebrities in their rarest form, it comes as no surprise that Schatz has an impressively diverse portfolio. See more in his Graphis Masters Portfolio.
