HPH Publishing | Wildlife Books | Assignment Photography
The Van den Bergs are experienced assignment photographers. Heinrich van den Berg has spent many years in the field, capturing images of African wildlife and the natural beauty of the continent. Highly acclaimed as a wildlife and nature photographer, he has won many international and local photographic awards. He was the first photographer to win the Eric Hoskings Award of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year for two consecutive years. He has also won the international Camel Trophy photographic competition, and was one of the official international photographers for the Camel Trophy in 1998. His photographs grace numerous books, calendars, magazine portfolios and photographic products worldwide.
In 1998 Van den Berg left his profession as a civil engineer to become a wildlife photographer. Since then he has travelled the world photographing wildlife, culture and adventure sport with a uniquely artistic eye. In his bid to 'tell a story in every picture', he has climbed icy volcanoes in Argentina and Chile, tracked endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda, searched for rare chameleons in Madagascar, wandered through the sacred temples of Cambodia, and walked the steamy forests of Borneo and Sumatra to photograph the elusive orangutan. He has photographed extensively in Southern Africa, where he lives, capturing on film the elusive leopard in Kruger National Park, the desert elephant in Namibia’s Kaokoland, and the captivating birdlife of Botswana.
Van den Berg has done assignment photography for Getty Images, National Geographic, the Peaceparks Foundation, BHP Billiton and Discovery Communications. Assignment photography done for Discovery’s Animal Planet includes still images for the Meerkat Manor series, as well as a recent shoot at Harnas Rehabilitation Centre in Namibia.
Van den Berg’s photographs are known for breaking boundaries and depicting the natural world in a fresh and evocative way. To ensure that the quality of images is maintained from the field to the printed page, Van den Berg is intimately involved with the reproduction and printing process – from the colour correction to the design and final production of his sought-after wildlife books. Since 2001 Van den Berg has published nine photographic wildlife books. He is currently working on a book on South Africa, as well as a book on Southern African mammals. HPH PHOTOGRAPHY started out in 1991 as a group of photographers, who produced images of unsurpassed quality. They have won numerous international photographic awards, and are published worldwide. Since then HPH has grown from strength to strength, developing into HPH PUBLISHING, a publishing house whose main objective is to produce BOOKS of a matchless quality. HPH shows the natural beauty of the world in a fresh, adventurous way. HPH Photography was established in the early 90s. The principal photographers are Philip and Ingrid van den Berg, Heinrich van den Berg and Herman van den Berg. Husband-and-wife hotographer team Philip and Ingrid have been photographing wildlife for many years. They turned professional in 1997 and since then have been widely published in South Africa and internationally. Among the numerous awards they have won are BG/BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year acceptances and several Agfa Awards. Heinrich van den Berg has been involved with HPH Photography since he left his profession as a civil engineer in 1998 in favour of a life in the bush. Since he turned photographer, he hasn¹t looked back and has travelled all over the world on photographic assignments. These have taken him to Chile, Argentina and Sweden to photograph the CAMEL Trophy in 1998, as well as to various countries in Africa, such as Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and Madagascar. Heinrich has also won various awards, including the prestigious Eric Hosking Award of the BG/BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in 1996 and 1997, making him the first photographer ever to win the award twice. HPH Publishing is an extension of HPH Photography. After working with various publishing companies with mixed success, the HPH photographers decided to expand into the publishing side in order to have more control over the way their photographs appeared. By having hands-on control throughout the publishing process, they can ensure their pictures are used to best advantage and the end product is of an exceptionally high standard and quality. Since HPH Publishing was formed, it has grown from strength to strength, and has published three high quality books, namely Tsitsikamma - Eden of the Garden Route, Greater Addo Route of Giants, and the highly acclaimed Elephants Gentle Giants of Kapama. HPH Publishing¹s latest book, still in the production stage is titled Greater Kruger The Big Picture. In addition, HPH Publishing produces brochures and other promotional material for various clients.
