I am not an expert in ring-side photography but bought the item for a gift to a friend of mine who is ring-side photographer. All I can say he was happy.
Poetic

Larry Fink takes the sport of boxing out of standard iconography and makes it his own. His compositions are surprising and arresting in their uniqueness. I admire his uninhibited use of harsh flash and how that helps dramatize the rugged people who live the fight game. His black and white prints are so finely crafted that I can smell the perspiration.
Fink's Fighters
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Larry Fink has captured the essence of the heart of boxing throughout this book. He's caught specific moments which go unnoticed on a daily basis in the gym and made them immortal. Most specific and touching are those photos of Fighter and Trainer in the locker room before the fight. An excellent, well written dabble on the history of boxing accompanies the photos as well. nice.
