The majority of Doris Ulmann's photographs are unique prints and of these, most are left unsigned. As was her practice, Ulmann only signed those photographs she exhibited or intended to exhibit. She is particularly well known for her portraiture, having published several portfolios in magazines as well as several books of portraits, including Roll Jordan Roll, during her lifetime, and the seminal title published later The Appalachian photographs, amongst others.
