Pete Doherty

Pete Doherty is a Canadian photographer, born in Ottawa in 1964. He is a self-taught photographer and a graduate of the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. For many years, he stepped away from the art world and became a successful amateur boxer.

After retiring from boxing, Doherty returned to the ring with a camera. His work focuses mainly on boxing and the people who live inside that world, from amateur gyms to professional fights. His photographs document not only the action of the sport, but also the emotions, training, trust, and politics that shape the boxing community.
