About me

It’s a passion

As long as he can remember Jens Cullmann loves photography. He was born in the famous ‘summer of ’69’ and grew up in Nürnberg, Germany. When he was 13 years old, he got his very first camera, experimented with black and white films, developed each film himself, did a lot of trial and error and wrote every tiny thing down in a little book where each picture got a scale and explanation.

The passion never left and in 2003 he discovered wildlife photography on a holiday in Africa. What started with a proper dose of wanderlust, a rental car and two weeks of vacation, soon became a lifestyle, a passion. Two years later he drove his own car on a road trip from Germany all the way down to South-Africa. The car stayed there and he kept coming back, already for thirteen years now. In the beginning he traveled all over, but the last couple of years it has been mostly Zimbabwe and Botswana. You will find him mostly in places like Mana Pools, the Kalahari and the Okavango Delta. Animals in action are his trademark and no one has more patience (as long as it concerns animals) to get that one right shot.

Only in 2016 he decided to take it a bit further and so he had his first multimedia show, participated in several photographic competitions, was featured in some magazines and also had a few exhibitions throughout Germany.
