LIFEFORMS AND BEYOND
Since nearly two decades the independent husband-and-wife photographer team Heidi & Hans-Jürgen Koch has created an extraordinary body of work. Their photographs and features are published worldwide in various media. The clients include - STERN - GEO - LE FIGARO MAGAZINE - PARIS MATCH - LIFE - THE INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC - FOCUS - SUNDAY TIMES - among others.
The work of Heidi & Hans-Jürgen was awarded by World Press Photo, Art Directors Club of Germany and Europe, Lead Award, BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards, Fuji Euro Award, Hansel-Mieth-Award and the German Award for Science Photography. Several times their photographs were presented at the Visa pour L'image Festival in Perpignan, France. 2004 they were appointed into the German Society of Photography (DGPh). The diversity of these honours is a proof of their professional passion.
The couple was born in Giessen, Germany, the most grotesque town between Kassel and Frankfurt. After their studies and degrees at the University of Bielefeld in the middle of nowhere, they moved right away to Cuxhaven at the North Sea coast to get some fresh air. They got what they wanted. Windy years later, the Capitol City was calling. During this Berlin experience it was high time to look for the opposite. So, they currently make their home in Freiburg, the warmest location in Germany... ...and already get restless again.
