Born in Hamburg, Germany, Berry Behrendt began his career as a photographer in his late twenties after spending several years touring and recording as a musician throughout Europe. Transitioning into photography, he worked as a freelance assistant for several internationally renowned photographers before quickly establishing himself as a sought-after talent in his own right.

His early work gained recognition in Germany, where he shot for prestigious magazines such as Elle, Brigitte, Brigitte Young Miss, Petra, Maxi, Max, and many others. While making a name for himself in fashion photography, he also built a strong reputation as a portrait photographer, capturing musicians for the record industry.

His distinct style and ability to bring out the essence of his subjects earned him international recognition, leading to collaborations with some of the most influential artists in the U.S., including Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, and Moby. In 2000, Berry relocated from Hamburg to New York, where he spent 25 years further refining his craft and expanding his portfolio.

Now splitting his time between New York and Hamburg,, Berry continues to push the boundaries of photography, blending his passion for music and visual storytelling to create powerful, memorable images.
