“Slick and sleek, Whitesell captures polished images that sell beauty, rendering a reality in far greater definition than the eye may even comprehend. At it’s best, photography carves out a world through light and shadow that represents reality transformed, beyond a document, simulating the physical complete with a sense of space, time, weight and corporeal properties. Through rich, sensual color, her works exhale a sense of life; through a complex tonal range, Whitesell captures moments. Shooting upstart musicians & tomorrow’s fashion model, Whitesell has one finger on the shutter release, and another on the future.”

“Creating photographs with Wendy Whitesell is true collaboration. Wendy has an amazing eye, and goes beyond other photographers in so many ways. When we're working together, she puts me at ease and has great feedback about what's working and how to change what's not. Highly attuned to the vibe of the session, she's bold and agile, dynamic and open. Having a photo session with Wendy is kind of like going to a spa - you just feel great afterwards. And, the photographs! Strong, compelling, and surprising - Wendy's photos are outstanding and I'm thankful that she brings out the most in me. And, with her superlative post-production skills, you're in the best hands, start to finish.”

“Wendy is an amazing photographer with a great eye... Her warm inviting personality makes being in front of the camera easy and a pleasure. Wendy sees the final product long before the final shot, which makes for some amazing images. Coupled with her exemplary graphic design and editing skills, any model would make her work the forefront of their portfolio or press kit.”
