Ulrike studied Molecular Biology in Germany and England before moving to New York where she became intimate with Photography.

Her style reflects her passion for detail and curiosity for the small things. Objects in her pictures are often secondary to the light phenomena she is hunting to capture. Ulrike almost always uses natural or ambient light, and various materials provide a playground for light rays  to create unexpected effects.

In 2006 Ulrike moved to Anhui Province in China.
Through the eye of her camera she explores this new and foreign environment. However, she acknowledges the limited capacity of a photograph to convey reality to the viewer and instead seeks to evoke his emotional reaction to a picture.
