About Heiko Tiemann

I have studied art and photography at the UGH Essen (Folkwang University of Arts) and the Royal College of Art, London where I completed my MA in 2004. I am working preferably on longtime projects and themes which present a challenge to me.
Also I am working as a lecturer in photography and course leader in art therapy in Düsseldorf and Berlin.

  • Portrait Awards 2015
  • Real Indications
    Heiko Tiemann
    A mysterious, haunting experiment with the very concept of portraiture—using the photograph as the stage to create “questions within the image.”
  • Infliction
    Heiko Tiemann
    Sensitive, conscientious portraits of children with learning disabilities taken during their transition between childhood and adulthood—powerful work that can “only be described superficially with words.”
