Changing worlds with photography.

Para La Tierra, Paraguay - Photographer, Stefanie Heilmüller

Donors like you have helped photographers fundraise 100% of project-related costs since 2014!

Hi my name is Stefanie,

I am mainly a wedding photographer but love to document all kind of stories through my photography work. Traveling through the world with open eyes you can not else but notice how very fortunate and privileged oneself is. I make a living with my passion photography and feel the urge to give back a little.

In the fall I will be volunteering for Para La Tierra in Paraguay, telling their story about their great work: protecting endangered species and their habitat in the tropical rainforest. Paraguay is one of the most biodiverse countries worldwide but gets little attention, despite years of deforestation that only left a small percentage of the rainforest size of previous times. Para La Tierras main goal is to help to protect the endangered habitat and inhabitants.

It is a not for profit organisation that protects habitats and species in Paraguay through scientific investigation, community engagement and environmental education, promoting sustainable development.

Every year, our photographers and videographers donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to document the work of grassroots initiatives that are making a real change in this world where it is most needed. By capturing, honouring and witnessing humanity at its best, we are not only inspiring many, but we are forging new narratives of what is and what is possible. 

You can help by supporting our photographers and videographers (See the side bar to the right to see fundraisers for our most recent recruits).

Each of our official photographers/videographers is assigned a GroupRev fundraising page by PWB upon acceptance.
