"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."
Darrel Couturier (gallery owner: Couturier Gallery of Contemporary Fine Art Photography, Los Angeles, California)

"Provocative photos for people who know the fine difference between sexuality and sensuality!"
Henning von Berg (artistic motto)

"Because I was trained as an architect-engineer I like to combine bodies with buildings. It is interesting to show the harsh contrasts between the soft curves of the human body and the strength of rigid architecture. This creates a wonderful visual experience. In addition, I love to present artistic nudes in abandoned landscapes to emphasize the natural beauty of deserts, beaches, cliffs and canyons."
Henning von Berg (Art Forum Cologne, Germany, 1997)

"After some years of practice, following the rules of classical imagery, I learned how to set the studio lights and how to compose a scene to create a so called “good” photograph. Today I prefer playful experiments with bright sunshine and dark shadows. I purposely use over and under exposures to get theatrical results."
Henning von Berg (Academy of the Arts, Berlin, Germany, 2002)
