Mang came from the Kingdom of Bavaria and came to Italy in the 1860s . From the beginning of 1863 he lived in Rome, where he belonged to the German Art Association and specialized in portrait photography and photographic views of the city. In particular, he dealt with stereoscopy . Initially he had his studio in Piazza di Spagna 9. In 1871 he took over the photo studio of his friend Oswald Ufer in Via Felice 113 (now Via Sistina 113). On the occasion of the pontifical jubilee of Pius IX. that year he made a portrait of the Pope. The known period of his work goes back to 1887, when the photographer Teodoro Fabbri succeeded him as owner of the studio. Together with Ufer, Mang perfected the process, invented in Berlin, of printing photographs in Rome using a commercially available ink press.
