Frank Herholdt

Meet Frank...

Frank grew up in South Africa, where he studied fine art at the Johannesburg School of Art and a chance encounter with a photographer who offered him a job made him drop out of college and immerse himself in learning about photography.

Frank has won numerous international awards, including the New York Art Directors Club and many AOP Awards. His work has also been awarded at Cannes, Communication Arts, London Photographic Awards and B&W Spider Awards. He has worked for most of the main adverting agencies and blue chip clients all over the world.

Frank Herholdt’s photographs speak to us so forcefully because they come from a discipline that is pre-digital. His mentors are the great British Theatre and portrait photographers of the 50’s – 60’s – 70’s; and one of the last great Hollywood Cinematographers of the 70’s – 80’s.

This is why his photographs have such a theatrical and cinematic punch. Their Drama also comes from the fact that pre-digital is totally reliant on the fantastic concentration of the shoot itself. Everything you’re looking at in camera and in the moment.

In spite of the fact that Frank has embraced digital technologies, his new images still use the same disciplines and atmosphere of the pre-digital era.
