*** UPDATED 29-JAN-2012 ***
*** RIGHT - SO I FINALLY UPDATED THIS THING WITH NEW WORK. HOPE YOU LIKE IT ***
Greetings and thanks for looking at my port!
My name is Heinz and I am an internationally-published photographer, currently based in Houston, USA and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Born in Chile (that skinny and long country in South America for those that don't know) from a German father and a Danish-descent mother, I'm best classified as a mutt! (LOL).
I am a fashion photographer, and I am truly obsessed with it. I spend my time working on fashion catalog work, agency work, commercial work and my favorite: editorials. My life consists of being on the road most of the time, but I do look forward to getting home to my family and my studio in Houston. You can often catch me in London, Madrid, and my second home: Buenos Aires, but I do hit many other countries as my projects call for it.
I am currently not doing any TF work. Sorry but my calendar just does not allow me any free time for this in the foreseeable future. However, I sometimes have some free time during my travels so I may be hitting you up for a shoot in your town and in short notice! LOL
Photography has been a life-long passion. Perhaps passed from my father's technical intellect, my grandfather's passion with art, or perhaps born out of my own desire to capture places and moments in time. Regardless, I am driven by this medium which has allowed me to communicate my thoughts, emotions, and desires in a way not otherwise possible. I sincerely hope that you now have a better understanding of who I am.
Finally, I must say that I have had the honor of living in many countries around the world, most recently, Spain. It is with humble eyes, that I've been able to see the beauty this world has to offer; to learn from, understand, and respect other cultures; and see the world for what it is, with unbiased eyes. I wish every person would also get this same opportunity; as perhaps, just perhaps, if everyone had just a tiny bit deeper understanding of who we are and our place in this round ball, we could keep from fucking it up!
Let's love and respect one another for a change, what do you say?
*** I will start hosting fashion photography workshops this year so stay tuned if your interested ***

Cheers and love to all,

These lyrics move me (can you guess who they are by?):
"When everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take...
...I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
and I've been standing on the edge
and I'm on fire"
I love this song: "Sketches in the Sun". If you can honestly tell me who plays it, straight from your mind and without having to look it up, you get a free shoot! LOL
P.S.: Please respect the following etiquette rules:
1. If you are going to send me a friend request, at least comment on one of my photos but I'd prefer that we have some sort of established relationship first, however limited!
2. If I comment on one of your photos, you don't need to tag me to say "thanks". Although I appreciate the courtesy, the reason I commented on your photo is because I thought it deserved merit of some sort and not because I wanted you to thank me!
And finally, here is my list of pet peeves about this site:
> Remakes of Avatar
> Guys naked with their hands holding their "tool"
> Copy cats (Be original!)
> Photographers whose entire portfolio consists of 1 model
This list will grow as I find more things to gripe about! LOL
