Untitled 1982

Larry Fink made this untitled silver gelatin print at an unknown date. It’s fascinating how Fink plunges into the thick of a social scene, right? He’s not afraid to get up close and personal. In this photograph, three figures are gathered around a formally set table with half-empty glasses and cutlery neatly aligned. I wonder what the occasion was. Was it a celebration? A business meeting? The guy on the left, pointing with such urgency, looks like he's making a point, but it's impossible to know what he might be thinking or saying in that moment. Fink is known for his immersive approach to photography. There is a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability, reminiscent of photographers like Garry Winogrand. It’s not just about documenting; it's about capturing the feeling of the moment. There's an art to finding those fleeting gestures that speak volumes.
