Hi, I'm Heidi.
Photography has accompanied me from an early age. My first reflex camera was given to me just as my family had emigrated from a small Saxon village in Romania to Germany. Photography became a way of seeing people closer and understanding more about myself.
During my studies and practice in architecture, I continuously went from designing spaces for humans on a large urban scale to an intimate one. Today I am still teaching and creating interior architecture, which I both relate to portraiture.
Naturally, my photography is all about humans. It is as close as I can get to people.
Wild oceans, snowy mountains and lush gardens are my wide spaces to feel grounded.
I photograph for encounters.
There is this magic in photography that we can feel more than what is visually there. If I can relate to the person I photograph, the portrait will allow others to participate. That way I create authentic and intimate portraits.
I portait you, your stories and your vision.
To me anything I photograph is a portrait. I photograph people, I tell their stories and I want to learn about their visions. I don't make a difference if I photograph you for your loved ones, for your business or if we meet for an editorial story. I want to create a space for people to be witnessed through photography.
