Kevin Faingnaert (1986) lives and works in Gent, Belgium. He has a degree in Sociology and pursued his dream in becoming a photographer afterwards. He considers himself a social documentary photographer, mainly focusing on small groups and communities that are removed from the mainstream.
Several years ago, far away from the glitter and glamour of American pro wrestling, a less polished kind of body-slamming entertainment arose in Belgium.
Since February 2015 Kevin Faingnaert has been photographing the strange but wonderful world of wrestling in his country. He has been dodging flying wrestlers and has been meeting up with the likes of Dynamite Kid, The Silver Bullet and Joe Legend as their alter egos in the backstage of dingy wrestling venues.
"Catch" explores this almost unknown scene, portraying the fighters as modern gladiators, mixing staged and action photography.
