Capturing a decisive moment, creating memories, preserving emotions and evoking sensations is what compels Markus Heimbach to be a photographer.

His report and magazine shoots and cooperation with major companies has taken him to over 30 countries worldwide. The diversity of his work reflects his insight into different cultures and his dedication to an impressive variety of topics.

Markus was born near Cologne in 1960 and lived in Amman, Jordan for the first seven years of his life. The region fascinates him with its light, solitude and aridity, and for the past 15 years he has made countless trips to the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

Markus has avoided sticking to any given philosophy, prefering to follow his own instincts and ideas.

Clients include major industry and automobile corporations, ship and general aviation companies, as well as magazines, agencies and media publishing houses.

In nearly three decades he has created numerous video films, photo books and travel guide magazines from Alaska to Oman, from the cold shores of the North Sea to the green meadows of the Alps. Markus lives in Dubai and Hamburg.
