Artist Statement -



"Provocative photos for people who understand the fine difference between sex and sensuality!" ®

IN-Magazine, Hollywood:
Noted photographer Henning von Berg is the guy whose photos of 6 nude men in the German parliament 'Reichstag' made the front pages of 46 international newspapers. Famous for bizarre group shoots in unique locations, the former architect likes to combine all kinds of bodies & buildings.

Henning von Berg is the last male descendent of a traditional German family (477 years old). He took his first nude photos at the tender age of 12, and today the 6'5" tall giant has earned world wide recognition as a trend setter and a fearless lensman. He is willing to break all the rules to achieve startling photos of women and men in great settings, public and private.

To date, the work of 'HvB' is known on all five continents. His material has been published in a variety of high-profile periodicals, on greeting cards, calendars and lithograph posters, as well as all kinds of art books. Von Berg lives and creates in Amsterdam, Hollywood and Berlin.

His artistic motto ® is: "Provocative photos for people who understand the fine difference between sex and sensuality!"®

Artist Publications



"The world of nude photography is overrun with images, many of them so similar it that the term “déja-vu” isn’t descriptive enough. I have long admired the work of Henning von Berg as a breath of fresh air, something out-of-the ordinary that one who has seen too much yearns to find. In particular, his staged images of multiple nude figures participating in rituals allow the imagination to take flight with no loss of the erotic. Henning’s work has wonderful inspiration with a vision very uniquely his."
