Henning Christoph, born near Leipzig in 1944, emigrated to the United States with his family in 1950. He studied journalism and anthropology at the University of Maryland and worked as a photographer for Gannett Newspapers in New York before returning to Germany in 1967 to study under Otto Steinert at the Folkwang School in Essen. Since 1969, he has worked as a freelance photojournalist for international publications including Life, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, Le Figaro, Geo, and Stern. His socially engaged reportages address subjects ranging from the relationship between people and technology to marginalized communities, migrant workers, and religious life; he has received numerous honors, including six World Press Photo awards.
