A photographic exploration of the depths within, where every image reveals a hidden story. Discover the essence beneath the surface.
Explore the depths of human emotion and identity. This series captures the raw essence of individuals, stripping away the superficial to reveal the beauty and complexity within. Each image tells a story of resilience, vulnerability, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Discover the stories behind the faces, and find a reflection of your own journey in their eyes.
This award-winning series—honored with The Universal Artist Award —peels back the layers we wear: beyond masks, beyond beliefs, beyond the roles we play. It’s a visual return to essence, inviting reflection on who we truly are underneath it all.
Through raw emotion, subtle symbolism, and striking simplicity, Behind the Soul captures moments of truth—sometimes tender, sometimes confronting. Each portrait becomes a mirror, encouraging the viewer to slow down, look deeper & recognize their own journey mirrored in another. This series is not just seen, but felt.
Let go of the masks. Step into who you truly are.
In the search for my true ‘self’, I contacted Wendy for a ‘Behind the Soul’ photoshoot—new in her rich offering. At first, I was very nervous, but that quickly faded. It’s a true experience from the very first moment, set in nature with instrumental sounds and Wendy’s soft, gentle voice guiding you. You sit down, close your eyes, and are taken on a journey to the deepest feeling in your body. An endless sensation where you release and absorb energy. Time stands still. Afterwards, I felt incredibly happy—an exceptional sense of peace remained with me. You almost forget that Wendy is also a professional photographer, until you see the beautiful, spontaneous photos she captured. Top experience.”
