Ulla Lohmann is a documentary photographer and film maker from Lake Starnberg, Germany who regularly works for magazines and broadcasters, including National Geographic, GEO, BBC, Red Bull Media House and Stern View. Ulla has published a coffee-table book about the Dolomite Mountains for National Geographic and a text book about realizing her dreams. She is ambassador for Canon, Eizo, Manfrotto and F-Stop. She is an elected member of the German Photographic Society and she has been appointed as a fellow of the Explorer’s Club in New York. Ulla also conducts workshops and photograohy expeditions to active volcano sites around the world
