Every month we ask a photographer to share a picture of an impact maker.

We are kicking off with Steven Heuer, who photographed Maja Matarić for Impact X.


Steven Heuer’s still photography has been commissioned by the AB InBev Corporation for the Bud Light brand, Hospitality Marketing Associates, and Columbia College Hollywood, among others. His work has appeared in USA Today, the Press Telegram, and the Argonaut newspapers and includes a cover shot for Volleyball World Magazine.

His professional photography career began with shooting the U.S. National Ski Championships in 1988. His primary still camera is a Nikon D3, but he’s versatile — during a travel shoot through Vietnam, he used six different cameras, including a vintage Stereo Realist 3D camera from the 1950s.

For Steven, photography has illuminated his passion for seeing the world through a different lens and exploring other cultures.

Steven Heuer selected two impact makers. Here are his photographs of his father, Richards (Dick) Heuer, and Steven’s fiancée, Sheila Marmon.

Steven’s second impact maker is his fiancée, Sheila Marmon.
