Hello and welcome. to Kelter Photography

​

I am Anne - the artist behind Kelter Photography.

I am self-taught and work with analogue and digital cameras.

 

In February 2022, I moved from Denmark to Connemara on the Irish West coast to pursue inspiration and artistic development in my work. After three years in Connemara, I moved back to Denmark in November 2024.​

 

My interest for photography was instantly born when I was gifted my first camera at the age of 7 by my grandfarther.

He might just have been a bit foresighted about what life had in store for me....

 

Up unto 2016 I had photography as an all time consuming hobby.

I have a background within administration and languages but photography was always on my mind.

In 2016, I was given the opportunity to pursue my dream to work with photography full time and soon I had assignments for weddings, commercial, and portrait photography.

​

In 2017 I visited Wim Wender´s beautiful Polaroid exhibition "In an Instant" at the Photographer´s Gallery in London.

There was something magical about his photos that brought back memories to my own childhood and my first camera. I think it was perhaps the format of the  Polaroid photo that was very close to the format from my Grandfather´s camera of 7x7 cm.

​

When I got back to Denmark, I purchased my first polaroid camera and, to be honest, I never looked back. I started to learn about Polaroid photography and I started experimenting with various techniques such as Emulsion Lift and Polaroid Decaying, also known as film souping.

​

It was then, as a coincidence, at an emulsion lift workshop, when one of my emulsions fell wrongly onto a tile that I saw it had the shape of a dress that the idea about Liquid Dresses came to life. I brought home my tile and I started to experiment with shaping wet polaroid emulsions into the shape of little dresses. And the Liquid Dresses series was born.

​

I love to give talks about my work and to exhibit. So you are welcome to contact me (using the Contact form) if you would like to book me for an artist talk or like to exhibit my work.

Thank you for your interest in my work and I hope you enjoy your browse around my site.
