Deep in the woods, light, mist, and foliage are at Heiko’s fingertips. However, these elements often merge and it is hard to take good photos especially when the light is either too bright or dim. But Heiko is a true master of the interplay of sunlight, foliage, and mist and wields his camera as if he is the director of theatrical scenes of nature. When the morning sunlight shines through the forest, it gives volume to the scene and adds dimensionality to the forest. Heiko looks for and takes advantage of these magical moments for his shots. With the forest diffused with mist, he is able to create an ethereal feel and transmit these spiritual atmospheres to his viewers. In particular, his moss scenes add further mystical touches which makes one wonder whether there are still elves living among the trees. Other times, he uses the red glow of sunset reflecting off the trees to build a dramatic, fiery sensation. Even during snowy days, his black-and-white photos reveal the solemn beauty of nature by using the gentle play of soft light illuminated through branches. Heiko’s photos take people back to a cherished, sacred, and spiritual time when the world was new. (Adelina Gowdy - Our Narratives - ournarratives.net 2020)
