"This photo shows Cielo, an Andalusian gelding, dancing between light and shadows. For me, this is what photography is about: Capturing everything that happens between light and darkness."
-Janine Ulbrich
When other photographers are worrying about keeping up with the latest camera technology, Janine prefers to focus on the art itself:
"I have to admit that I'm very minimalistic in my photography. I only work with one camera and two lenses... I would much rather focus on the emotional impact my art, and not the technical aspects. My gear is just tools I work with." ~ Janine Ulbrich
Janine has been a dedicated horse girl since childhood. Horses were her first photography subjects, helping her to hone her skills and inspiring her to develop her own creative style.

When asked if she has a favorite photo, Janine beautifully describes what her photography means to her as an artist,
"I couldn't decide which is my favorite... each and every one is a part of my soul made visible." ~ Janine Ulbrich
Outside of photography Janine is a student, studying social & gender studies as well as linguistics.
