Paul Katz crackles with an irrepressible energy that conducts itself into his photos like a lightning bolt. In his 60 years as a photographer, including stints in the U.S. Army and the White House Press Office, he has shot combat scenes, portraits, and still lifes popping with vigor, color and striking angles. In 1978, he opened his own commercial studio in New York City where he photographed magazine illustrations and book covers. Now in his 70s, Katz shows no sign of slowing down, explaining, “I’m an artist. And artists don’t retire. This is my passion.”
