FRANK KAYSER

The Techno Classica in Essen, Germany, is the world’s superlative classic trade fair. Also this year, the fair came up with special exhibitions. It was a pleasure to see a Selection of 20 of my large-format fine art prints to be shown in a special presentation at one of Manfred Hering’s most exclusive trade fair stands, EARLY 911 S ›We Are The R Group‹. What would tempt you to wake up early on a Saturday morning and stand in the rain on a small side street in front of a car graveyard? For the members of the Porsche R Group, the seduction is a little about cars and a little more about the owners. Or as the ›dictator‹ of the club, Cris Huergas would say: »the spirit of the group is in the people, not their cars«. Film and photo production for the Porsche customer magazine ›christophorus‹, the ›Porsche Newsroom‹ and the ›Porsche 9:11 Magazine‹.

Film and event documentary ›Porsche Rennsport Reunion‹ for Porsche Deutschland AG.

At the end of September, for the fifth time, galleries and collectors turned the Shanghai Exhibition Center into a platform for the emerging market for photographic art in the Asia-Pacific region. Within the framework of a cooperation with the presenting partner Porsche, I had the privilege of presenting fourteen of my motifs in a FineArt exhibition at the ›Photofairs‹.

Book project Frank Kayser ›Porsche factory assignment‹. Always up close and personal for over four years. The 24-hour races on the Nürburgring, in Daytona and the actual legend among the Le Mans endurance races. They are among the toughest tests for man and machine — and also for the photo team. For this, 50,000 km had to be covered. We’ve been where other photographers can’t get to and documented Porsche’s work at the Endurance World Championships in more than 1.1 million pictures, of which the best 200 have made it in this exclusive 276-page illustrated book, which is now available worldwide.
