His specialty is compositions with people in unique buildings/landscapes at natural light conditions. He prefers to work with female/male amateurs; his oldest model so far is a 108 year-old lady.

After 13 years of working as a corporate engineer and architect, in 1997 at age 35, he changed his career and turned his hobby of photography into his new profession. One of his very first images was selected for the reference book “EXPOSED — A Celebration of the Male Nude from 90 of the World’s Greatest Photographers”.

Von Berg quickly gained attention by producing unusual group shoots. In 1999, he organized the world’s first and only male nude photo shoot within a parliament building: six men stripped in Germany’s historical Reichstag. In 2005, the Australian police chased him and his group of five nude women in Downtown Sydney. The fun snapshots were published all over the globe.

His favorite photography subjects are aristocrats and prostitutes, disabled people andathletes, common folks and celebrities. Coming from a traditional aristocratic background with a 500-year family tree, the muscular 6’5” tall Henning Baron von Berg often intentionally breaks taboos and rules to open new perspectives.

Meanwhile, the self-taught photographer can look back on more then five hundred publications and 46 exhibitions on four continents. HvB continues to divide his time between Berlin, Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles.
