Claudia Heinermann is a German documentary photographer known for her long-term observational projects focusing on historical topics, war, and genocide.

Her work often addresses controversial issues through a unique visual lens. Notable projects include 'Enduring Srebrenica', which documents the aftermath of the Bosnian genocide, and 'Wolfskinder', focusing on children displaced by war.
