About Me

Heike Schneider-Matzigkeit - Core Photographer - NME / The Stool Pigeon / Nude Magazine
Other Publications include: The Independent On Sunday, The Guardian, X-Ray, Neo 2, Vogue, Time Out, Umbigo, AXM Magazine, Revolution, The Fly, Tales

Heike Schneider-Matzigkeit's photography encompasses the pathos, blurred sexuality and otherworldly beauty of the modern age. Be it through her evocative exploration of inner-city life, or the operatic atmospherics of her metamorphosis portraits and tormented Deadly Sins opus.
Over the past year the London-Berlin based artist has worked with musical luminaries such as Gary Numan, The Dresden Dolls, Echo and The Bunnymen, Primal Scream, Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler.
An evolving collection of Heike's portfolio can be further viewed at: www.thyshell.com
