If you took the idea of Bruce Gilden photographing fight clubs in NYC and put them into the body of a man not as vertically endowed, you'd have the work of Steven Ferdman. Born and raised here in NYC, Steve has been granted the initiation rights to photograph Rumble in the Bronx, fight clubs, and underground boxing over the years.

Much of it was in the Bronx -- and he's finally putting it together in a photo book that deserves to be held and adored instead of casually browsed by in a Reddit post. Steve's work is too good for the algorithms -- and the story he's telling in All Callouts is Mandatory is worth the hours that you'll put into staring at each photo. . thephoblographer.com
