The Beauty of True.
Raw, Honest, Brutal.
Raw, Honest, Brutal.
I’m Rica Wenzel, a Brazilian photographer living in Helsinki who seeks the beauty in what’s real—raw, honest, sometimes even brutal.
Through my lens, I capture people as they truly are: unfiltered, expressive, and deeply human. Whether it’s an artist shaping their identity, a professional standing in their power, or someone simply showing up as themselves—I’m here to reveal the stories that live beneath the surface.
I specialize in portraiture that doesn’t shy away from the complexities of life. My work embraces vulnerability and strength alike, creating images that speak to the heart and linger in memory.
Artists, creatives, business owners, new parents, quiet souls, loud dreamers—I work with anyone who wants their truth told through powerful, emotive portraits.
My style is simple but bold, intimate but unapologetic. We’ll shoot wherever feels right—your home, the city streets, or a quiet studio—and together, we’ll make portraits that feel honest, alive, and unmistakably you.
I speak Portuguese and English and work with people across Helsinki and beyond.
If you’re ready for portraits that don’t just look good but feel real—let’s create something unforgettable.
