Katja Heinemann
Katja Heinemann is a documentary photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work focuses on intimate portrayals of people and American social and cultural issues, exploring topics such as illness and stigma, women's health and body consciousness, and youth issues. Her new media documentary On Borrowed Time chronicled the lives of children and teenagers who have grown up with HIV and AIDS in the United States. The resulting multi-media web site by Time.com won several awards in the 2002 POY and NPPA competitions. Her photographs and interviews of the children were published in collaboration with Camp Heartland, a national pediatric AIDS charity, as the book, A Journey of Hope. A second body of work explored how people age with this disease. The Graying of AIDS was featured on Time.com and the AARP's web site, and is being developed into a national Public Health publicity strategy with funding by the OSI Documentary Photography Distribution Grant.
Katja has produced photo essays and portraiture for Time Magazine, People, Parade, US News and World Report, Stern, Der Spiegel, HBO, Discovery Communications, and the AARP, as well as many other editorial, commercial and institutional clients. Her photographs have been included in the anthologies Here is New York (Scalo 2002), Pandemic - Facing AIDS (Umbrage Editions 2003), and CITY (University of Illinois Press 2006).
