Enter the captivating world of Honey Bender,
where every picture reveals a mix of opposites—beauty and gloom, power and fragility, rebellion and grace. Famous for her unique talent as a photographer, designer, and fashion blogger, Honey draws people in with her warm, golden tones and the quiet but powerful contrasts in her art. Her ongoing display at Souland Gallery is a treat for the eyes, packed with emotional stories, beautiful fashion, and a perfect balance of light and dark.
I’ve worked with Honey many times, and I’m always amazed by her talent. She has a special way of capturing the essence of people—deep, mysterious, and a little dreamlike. Every one of her pictures tells a story—sometimes bold, sometimes sad, sometimes gentle—that stays with you even after you leave the gallery. Her work breaks the rules, mixing rebellion with beauty that feels eternal.
Let’s take a look at the stunning collection on display:
Featured Works
“Lofoten“ A striking portrait of a woman in a white blouse with soft patterns and pearls. Around her head is a crown of dark roses, sharp and fierce with thorns. She looks off into the distance, lost in thought, with a deep, dark brown background behind her.
“Girl’s Night” A soft and emotional look at the female body. The woman’s hands are crossed over her stomach, as if protecting herself, and her chest is covered with tape. There’s a small bandage on her side. Her face isn’t shown, which makes the image feel both fragile and strong, like it could represent any woman.
“Volva” A bold image of a woman wearing a stiff, dark dress. Her head is shaved, with a punk-style haircut and a small cross shaved into her scalp. She looks down, her lips slightly open, as if lost in deep thought. The background is simple and brown, adding to the serious mood.
“Ronnie” A powerful woman stands in a shiny brown-gold bodysuit with a deep neckline. She wears a fur jacket over her shoulders and holds a lit cigarette in her mouth. Her makeup is messy, and her sharp, intense eyes show a strong, confident attitude.
“Rough” A look at strong differences. The person has unique face details—a scar-like line that changes her mouth and a face with many moles—showing boldness. She’s wearing a red shirt with black shiny details, her arms resting by her sides.
“Black Swan” A fun but bold twist on traditional ballet. The dancer has tattoos and wears casual sneakers, which stand out against her fancy black ballet dress. Her big, styled blonde hair adds a dramatic touch.
“Temple of Love” A captivating focus on a woman’s feet in extremely high, bold heels. The tall, gold-tipped stiletto is a wonder of design, and the tight straps show strength and willpower.
“Volva” Now the woman face, covered by a mask, is set against a cloudy sky. The detailed half-helmet mask suggests a tough journey, with every line showing she’s survived many challenges.
“Diva” This picture reminds me of Rick Genest, also known as “Zombie Boy.” It captures the mysterious charm of someone covered in tattoos. The person’s strong stare and the way they bite their lip hint at hidden stories.
“Courtesan” An older woman with bright blue eyes and a fancy, old-fashioned hairstyle. Her face, marked with deep lines, shows she’s lived through a lot and gained wisdom. Her red-brown top and detailed corset show both beauty and strength.
“Vamp” The person is lying back on a soft red seat, with a coat hanging loosely over them, showing their body in a graceful way. Shadows move over their bare skin, and their thin cheeks give them a mysterious, captivating look.
“Pure” A picture of young, simple beauty. The person is wearing shiny rose-gold silk shorts, with no top on, and flowers in their hair, making them look like they’re from a fairy tale. The shadows around her face make them seem a bit mysterious.
“Plumes” A detailed picture of a woman wearing leather and tattoos. A blurry lamp in front adds a cozy feel, while jewelry and a bindi inspired by Indian culture give her an exotic, striking appearance.
“The Red Dress” A powerful picture of a woman with dark eye makeup and a shadowy face. Her long red dress and white silk lining show a classic beauty against a dark background.
Honey Bender’s photos take people into a world where every look, pose, and piece of clothing tells a story full of depth and contrast. She uses soft colors, strong differences, and detailed textures to create a story that lets people see their own meaning in it.
