André Gelpke is a German-Swiss photographer who studied under Otto Steinert at the Folkwangschule in Essen from 1969 to 1975. In 1975, he co-founded the photographic agency Visum with Rudi Meisel and Gerd Ludwig. Increasingly turning towards artistic photography, Gelpke, alongside contemporaries such as Heinrich Riebesehl and Michael Schmidt, contributed significantly to the recognition of photography as an independent art form in Germany.
