Work


I tell stories with words and photos.

Sometimes I do this for magazines, sometimes I do it for brands and sometimes I just do it for fun.

Below is a sample of published work. Clicking an image will launch a preview of the PDF, which is available to download.

If you just want to look at pretty pictures, please visit my photography portfolio: Heidi Swift Photography.
