showcase magazine Dec 2012 stuttgart issue 381
Frank Linders Cars, Landscape & people photographer
Aside from perfectly lit automobiles, Frank Linders creates a unique look for his landscapes that can be adapted to any brief. The basis for this is many hours of exposure per single film. Everything that moves becomes invisible or leaves a transparent trace; pictures of places emerge that one normally wouldn’t perceive.
The central topic of 'Being and Time' is found in much of Frank's work. Renowned for his analogue photography using special filters, he creates extremely long exposures lasting many hours.
As a result, dynamic movements leave only traces, shadows become soft and places surreal. An atmosphere beyond space and time is created. Frank’s photos play with the past and the present, oscillating in-between. People and objects dissolve and objects, otherwise imperceptible, become visible.

Stuttgart - Hamburg: Frank Linders
Aside from perfectly lit automobiles, Frank Linders creates a unique look for his landscapes that can be adapted to any brief. The basis for this is many hours of exposure per single film. Everything that moves becomes invisible or leaves a transparent trace; pictures of places emerge that one normally wouldn’t perceive.
The central topic of 'Being and Time' found in much of Frank's work is represented in the first image featured in this Spotlight that shows a clock on a facade. Renowned for his analogue photography using special filters, he creates extremely long exposures - in this case 6-8 hours, but significantly longer time exposures are also possible.

Hamburg - Stuttgart: Frank Linders
Frank Linders is based in Hamburg and Stuttgart and specialises in transportation, landscape and people photography.
The special look of his photographs is based on extremely long exposures. His images of the 60. Vierschanzentournee were exposed for up to six hours, during continuous snowfall, and as a result he was the only photographer to get snow-free images. The model shot was completed in a studio in Hamburg.
The combination of what appears to be opposites creates something new and surprising in Frank's photographs.

Hamburg - Stuttgart: Frank Linders
Aside from perfectly lit automobiles, Frank Linders creates a unique look for his landscapes that can be adapted to any brief.
The basis for this is many hours of exposure per single film. Everything that moves becomes invisible or leaves a transparent trace; pictures of places emerge that one normally wouldn’t perceive.
Featured in this Spotlight is a selection of Frank's personal work, a photo series of the "wasen" (a fair akin to Oktoberfest) and of a BMW shot after the fair was over while the booths were being taken down. His use of time exposures of five hours or more is the key.

spotlight magazine Dec 2010 travel photography
Stuttgart: Frank Linders
Frank Linders' photographs reveal a world that is difficult to apprehend, realise or imagine. The philosophical question of "time and being" is always the central point in his work. While most photographers expose at maximum 30 seconds, or in extreme cases 60, Frank shoots longer. Much longer: from anywhere between one hour up to 12 or more, in just one exposure.
In this way the sun becomes a line from a point, shadows turn soft and seamless, and the dynamic process of the daily grind vanishes.
With a passion for light and elegance, Frank shoots cars, landscapes and people with dramatic effect.
