Achim Liebold
Achim Liebold is a german fashion photographer. [1]
To choose his work free from commonly used exclusive contracts, Liebold used pseudonyms. [2] But from the very beginning of his creative life, there also was an urge to explore the invisible and to photograph subject matter that can not be seen. [3]
In his art photography Liebold - now using "Van Kelaita", his mothers maiden family name as a pseudonym - increasingly concentrates on exploring the limits of what photography can do and the limits of photography itself. [4] [5]
Achim Liebold lives now in Ireland.[6]

- ↑ Cormac Hanley writes: "When looking at earlier work, especially his portraits of celebrities, we already realize that there was an urge to look behind the face, behind the obvious reaching to glimpse the forces of dark and light that fuelled their spirit. And so he starved his subjects of their usual comfort zone, squeezing out postures and attitudes, removing make-up and clothes." Cormac Hanley, BT, Forster Gallery NY Berlin, Dec 2012
- ↑ Dr. Brigitte Reineke, DHM German Historical Museum writes:
"Van Kelaita's photographs defy what is commonly expected of the medium of photography. On the contrary, they open up a new world of possibilities for photographic realization and, consequently, new ways of looking at photography."

- ↑ Dr. Ulrike Kasper, Sorbonne Paris writes: "If one defines photography as an unequivocal reproduction of reality, here everything has moved in the realm of the unsafe and generates doubt. What remains of a photograph, is the black-and-white contrast, the play with light and shade and the selective lighting …” Dr. Ulrike Kasper, Sorbonne Paris, BT, Forster Gallery NY Berlin, Dec 2012
- ↑ Joan Martucci writes: "With a different pace and a matured view, Liebold's photographs are simple and powerful. Only great photographers are great artists in their field. They do not just record a moment in time. Their passion expresses a dimension of life that is just beyond the five senses. Thus any great work of art is timeless: it transcends time and place."
