Born in St. Petersburg, Wolberg immigrated to Israel in the 1970's. He studied photography at the Camera Obscura School in Tel Aviv in the 90s and quickly established himself as one of Israel's leading photojournalists. In 2007, he was chosen to exhibit in 'Think with the senses-feel with the mind' curated by Robert Storr at the 52^nd Venice Biennale. Robert Storr captures the essence of Wolberg's work in his essay 'Anxious neighbors- intimate antagonists': "Working in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson but forging his own acutely receptive style, Wolberg is on perpetual lookout for the 'decisive moment' in which a telling encounter, an impending or just missed contact between people or their open confrontation disclose crucial nuances of individual as well as collective identity." (quoted in Pavel Wolberg, Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv, 2008).
