Frank Pinckers revels in film photography because it is unplanned, uncontrolled and an excellent testimony of virtuosity. He relishes the unexpected moments, the ‘unseen’ and unintended elements captured on film.
He likens his chase for film photography to a game hunt where he only has one chance to ace it. His thrill of the chase cannot be evoked from digital photography where each shot is fired with precision, control and intention. He feels the lack of challenge to pursue his subjects. Pinckers also feels that digital photography takes away his field of concentration and undermines his skill as a photographer.
In this series, his audience will witness childlike and unpretentious crystallized magical moments of movement on film.
