The Ashland University Academic Honors Program is hosting a lecture on Thursday, March 18, featuring Tom Ulrich, an award winning freelance photographer. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 7 p.m. in the Faculty Room in Myers Convocation Center.
Ulrich, who was the 2005 recipient of the North American Nature Photography Association’s Fellow Award, will be presenting an “Evening of Images: Capturing Nature and Animal Behavior.”
Ulrich grew up in South Chicago, graduated with a degree in biology from Southern Illinois University and taught biology for four years before launching his career as a freelance photographer. In his more than 35 years as a nature photographer, he has assembled a library of more than 800,000 images that include birds and mammals from all over the world.
Ulrich’s photographs have been featured in National Wildlife, Audubon, National Geographic, Montana Outdoors and others. He has published seven nature books including his most recent, “Photo Pantanal.”
