Biography
Biography
He began his career in photography in London via short stints in Paris and New York. His early work was influenced by photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Avedon, André Kertész, Weston, Edward Steichen and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Once in London, he started to do reportage and fashion photography working on assignments for magazines such as Stern, Vogue, Twen, Harper's Magazine and many others. Since then he has worked on over twelve hundred advertising campaigns, both national and international. Heumann said during an interview in Techniques of Masters: "A bad picture will always be a bad picture, no technique will save or improve it. It is not style or technique that makes the image. It is the thought and the interpretation of an experience in life, our seven senses, which have to be translated into a picture. The technique is only a tool for enhancement of a thought".
