Fueled by the author’s curiosity and rage against the privileged class, Social Graces contrasts New York’s jet set with the rituals and gatherings of rural Pennsylvania. “Fink’s photographs provide the opportunity to study a gesture, a smile, a surreptitious glance.” — Susan Kismaric, associate curator, The Museum of Modern Art

Fish and wine: Larry Fink's photographs of Portugal

Muscles and sweat. Hope and fear. Determination. Exhilaration. Desperation. Larry Fink's crisp images capture the drama in and out of the ring, and they pack a wallop. They also present a powerful argument for the superiority of black-and-white photography over color, which would have weakened their impact considerably. You don't have to be a fan of this brutal sport to appreciate Fink's artistry. Award-winning sportswriter Bert Sugar's essay on the history of boxing is a nice complement to the illustrations.

In this series, Aperture Foundation works with the world's top photographers to distill their creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography—offering the workshop experience in a book. Its goal is to inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography. Each volume is introduced by a well-known student of the featured photographer. In this book, Larry Fink—well-known for his layered pictures in social settings—explores composing photographs and improvising within a scene to create images with both feeling and meaning. Through words and photographs, he reveals insight into his own practice and discusses a wide range of creative issues, from connecting with the subject in front of the lens to shaping a vision that is authentic. Photographer Lisa Kereszi, a student of Larry Fink, provides the introduction.

Photographs in which the documentary becomes poetry--that is one of Michael Magers's trademarks. With his special eye for the unusual moment, the documentary photographer and journalist quickly gained international recognition. His pictures appear in prominent magazines and newspapers such as TIME, Vogue Italia, or Huck Magazine. Even outside of his commissioned work, which takes him all over the world, this exceptional photographer does not put down his camera. He explores everyday life around him, capturing a movement or constellation at crucial moments. These pictures not only celebrate the essence of everyday life, but also the magic of what is unique about it. Each of his grainy, black-and-white photographs that he has elicited (mainly from urban life in Japan) in the past decade, carries a secret within it, which can be discovered and admired in the first volume of pictures by this artist.
