 Ulrike Welsch, International photographer, immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1964. She was the first woman photographer on the staff of the Boston Herald Traveler (1966-72) as well as the Boston Globe (1972-81). Ms. Welsch spent fifteen intense years as a photo-journalist, contributing bold yet sensitive human interest images to the world of journalism.
Since 1981, Ms. Welsch has been freelancing, specializing in editorial photography, capturing the hidden beauty in places both near and far. Her subjects include people from all walks of life, scenic landscapes, nature as well as bustling cities. Pretty much anything that speaks to her...
Ms. Welsch resides on Boston's North Shore.

"I like to make friends with people and photograph life. Sometimes it's a face that speaks to me, sometimes it's the light creating a mood. People have told me, that I find beauty in the most common places."
