Nanna Heitmann (born 1994) is a German-Russian documentary photographer,[1] currently living in Moscow.[2][3] She joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 2019.[4]

Life and work

Heitmann was born in Ulm, Germany[1] and grew up in Germany.[5] Her mother is from Moscow, and always spoke Russian to her.[1][5] Heitmann studied photojournalism and documentary photography at the University of Hanover in Germany.[1] She joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 2019.[4]

For the series Hiding from Baba Yaga, Heitmann traced the southern regions of the Yenisey river, which runs from Mongolia, through all of Siberia, and into the Arctic Ocean. Along its route she photographed individuals and communities living in some of the coldest territories in Russia.[6][7][8] The series Weg vom Fenster (Gone From the Window) is about the workers at Germany's last operating coal mine, Bergwerk Prosper-Haniel [de].[9][10]

I'm attracted to people who are shaped by their environment, who choose to live or work in extreme situations.[1]

Heitmann's personal work has been published by National Geographic,[5] Time,[9] Le Monde,[11] de Volkskrant,[12] and Stern magazine.[13] She has worked on assignments for The New York Times,[14] Time,[15] The Washington Post,[16][17][18] Stern magazine,[19] and The Seattle Times.[20]
