never afraid of using unconventional methods to fight for human

this point. The political activist/photographer Henning von
Berg is the right person to do an uncommon portrait of me."

"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."

"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) |
