Ria Henning-Lohmann is a graphic designer and photographer, based in Schlewsig-Holstein in Germany. After studying communication design at the Fachhochschule für Gestaltung in Hamburg, she worked for many years as a graphic designer, layouter and art director, where she was able to improve her knowledge of photography and photo production. In 2001 she changed her focus, moved to the countryside with her husband and began to travel a lot and to work as a freelance graphic designer. In this context, her own photographic work took an increasingly important role.
This was followed by further training with Herlinde Koelbl, Peter Bialobrzeski, and most recently with Grit Schwerdtfeger at the Ostkreuz School of Photography.
Besides the photographic exploration of her native landscapes, she has been regularly travelling to southern Africa for 15 years, from where she has been photographing for NamibiaMagazin, among others. In addition there is work on commission in the field of interiors, portraits and reports.
