“I have blended my passions, photography and assisting others, to try to create images that can inspire people, move them, but over all to bring them closer to the subject.
The word “photography” means “drawing with light.” Ultimately, I believe that photography can also be used to share that light.

I’m a big believer in the power of stories, I think is part of our DNA as human beings, somehow we all need stories to keep us alive, inspired, conscious and aware of our own existence. I’m a visual storyteller that loves to write and portrait people’s lives. ”

Heber speaks three different languages, has worked as humanitarian aid worker for many years, and is currently living in Iraq. All these experiences have helped him to develop an ability to work with people from different countries, cultures and religions. The versatility shows in his photography.

Heber is the Founder of The ONE-SHOT Project, an initiative to provide opportunities through vocational training in photography and multimedia to children living in marginal situations.
