You can take screenshots with imagemagick's import:

 import -window root -quality 98 screenshot.png

You can resize screenshots with imagemagick's convert:

 convert -resize "30%" screenshot.png screenshot.th.png

To simplify capturing you can automate it with a script ~/.bin/capscr:

 #!/bin/bash
 timestamp="$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)"
 targetbase="$HOME/capscr"
 mkdir -p $targetbase
 [ -d $targetbase ] || exit 1
 import -window root $targetbase/$timestamp.png

and bind it to the "PrintScrn" keyboard key using globalkeys ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua:

   -- bind PrintScrn to capture a screen
   awful.key(
       {},
       "Print",
       function()
           awful.util.spawn("capscr",false)
       end
   )
