Wendy Bagnall, a photographic artist based in Surrey, England, has long been inspired by the hours she spent in the darkroom with her father during her teenage years. Her work draws deeply from the natural landscape, interpreting light, texture, and form through an expressive, often abstract lens. Wendy’s artistic approach is fluid and intuitive, emphasizing emotional resonance over realism.

Immersed in the rhythms and energy of the natural world, Wendy works without boundaries, capturing moments that reflect her personal connection to the environment. Through in-camera techniques such as multiple exposures and intentional camera movement (ICM), she creates authentic, painterly compositions that invite viewers to pause and find calm in the abstraction of nature’s forms.

In conversation, Wendy shares the evolution of her craft—from traditional landscapes to her experimental methods—and the therapeutic connection she finds through photography. She discusses the importance of printing her work, mentoring others, and nurturing creative confidence through workshops. Wendy also reflects on her experiences exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London and the Toronto Photography Festival in Canada, milestones that highlight her unique artistic voice.

Her photography is a meditation on emotion and energy, where the boundaries between subject and feeling dissolve into visual poetry.

I hope you enjoy the show!
