The photographs created by Andy Katz have taken him around the globe. From the deserts of Namibia to the disappearing Jewish World of Eastern Europe to the rolling hills of the California wine country, his subjects range as broadly as his travels and adventures. Each journey for Katz is a new exploration of images. Katz discovered his passion for photography at a young age and is now a Sony Artisan of Imagery, one of only seven photographers representing Sony's new cameras. The images in Katz's books, A Portrait of Napa and Sonoma; Concannon: The First One Hundred and Twenty-Five Years; New Zealand: Sea, Earth, Sky; Private Reserve; Robert Mondavi Winery; The Heart of Burgundy; Tuscany and Its Wines; and Vineyard have been described by vintners, photographers, critics and other readers as breathtaking. His evocative work is featured in museums and galleries worldwide including his own in Boulder, Colorado and Healdsburg, California. Katz discovered his love for photography at a young age. Admittedly, he had been chasing his classmates around the playground with his camera since as early as the third grade. But when he was 11, his father brought home a book of black and white portraits by the legendary Canadian photographer Yosuf Karsh. "It was as if a flash bulb went off in my soul. I was amazed. Karsh's work was all large-format and his prints were so vivid you felt you could actually touch the persons skin. The tonality, the technique, it was all truly exquisite. I was mesmerized," said Katz. How ironic that years later, Yosuf Karsh would count himself wanted by Art Brokerage. Andy's imagery has been featured on the covers of Doobie Brothers and Dan Fogelberg Albums. Over 6 million albums sold. Katz's work is also featured in museums and galleries worldwide including his gallery in Healdsburg, California. Katz has published 12 beautiful coffee table books, they have been described by vintners, photographers, critics and other readers as breathtaking.Size: 20'' x 24'' Archival inkjet print
