He is known for the “snapshot aesthetic” of his photographs of people at charity galas, night clubs, parties, and other social occasions. More than sixty of his prints are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where he had his first solo show in 1979. Other solo shows include Boxing at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1997) and a retrospective at the Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne (1994). Fink’s books include Social Graces (1984), Boxing (1997), and Runway (2001).
