She grew up in a family of artists and was taught by her father, a fellow photographer, about the history and technical aspects of photography from a young age. After he bought Wanda her first camera at 16 years old, she started taking self-portraits and soon discovered a passion for photographing portraits and people. She later moved from her hometown to Budapest where she studied history, the theory of cinema, fine art, and conceptual photography. Later, after completing a scholarship at the London College of Fashion, she moved to the UK where she completed a master's degree in fashion photography.

Since then, Wanda has worked with brands including Canon, MR PORTER, MATCHESFASHION, Atlantic Records, Sony Music, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, Saint Laurent, and Marc Jacobs.
