Beskrivning

Shadow Boxers is a celebration of arguably the last great era of club boxing in New York. The world of real-life Rockys, a hard masculine world where any man had a chance to fight his way to fame, fortune and glory. In the late 1970s and early ‘80s John Cole spent over five years in New York’s and New Jersey’s seedy gyms and boxing venues, documenting characters with bashed-in noses and unshakeable dreams, an era that no longer exists but which Cole’s photographs capture for posterity.

Mer om författaren

For more than forty years, John Cole has worked as a photojournalist for The Sunday Times, the Observer and the Independent, as well as for leading design and advertising agencies. He has photographed Mohammed Ali, Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana, along with countless other famous and not quite so famous celebrities. His photographs have been exhibited in New York, South Africa, London and throughout the UK. John’s passion is photographing ordinary people doing extraordinary things, giving voice to those who may not have a voice of their own, such as the New York boxers of the 1970’s with bashed-in noses and unshakeable dreams.
