It was a pleasure to shoot with Helen on her short visit back to her birthplace. We used two very different locations, first a park which gave us plenty of variety, and later at the Royal Terrace in the town centre. Both times Helen produced some great poses which made for a good shoot.

I have no hesitation to recommend Helen to other photographers.

With Helen visiting Guernsey for a few days, I had a rare opportunity to work with a very talented and experienced art nude model on home territory. Through excellent pre-shoot communications, we arranged to shoot nudes in nature images on two consecutive mornings at the start of May; a wonderful time of year to be working outside (or so one might think!).

In reality, the first morning delivered us very changeable and challenging weather in the form of a strong, cool breeze, frequent rain showers and less than ideal light. However, none of this deterred Helen from committing 100% to our shoot. She worked exceptionally hard, producing many creative and interesting poses amongst the deeply textured rocks on one of Guernsey south coast beaches.

Helen worked equally hard, with real commitment and enthusiasm on our second morning with brighter light and warmer weather generally. We shot down one of the island's wooded cliffs to reach to a tiny, secluded bay on the south east coast of Guernsey.

I am delighted with the variety and quality of images created and am most grateful for Helen‘s creativity and sheer hard work over two rather demanding morning mornings; both with crack of dawn starts.

I highly recommend working with Helen to other photographers, whatever their levels of experience.

I had a wonderful afternoon photographing Helen. She is a fabulous model and knew exactly what was required for every set up we went with, including playing with some props and backgrounds at Silkwood Studio. Helen is fun to work with. I enjoyed every minute, except when my backdrop unravelled itself, and I have a lot of great images to work with.

You should arrange to work with this lady. You will not regret it.

Great first shoot. Pre-comms were excellent, including journey updates on delay due to traffic. Really interesting person to chat with during shoot. Came well prepared with items I asked for.

Great poses and adaptability - we got some good images.

Happy to recommend and work with again in the future

Redtree Studio

It was an absolute pleasure to host Helen for her studio day. Comms were excellent before the day and she arrived early and ready for the first session. She was amazing throughout the day and everyone attending worked well with her and got some awesome images. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Helen and really hope to work with her again.

This was my first shoot in a little while and Helen was so friendly and encouraging it was great. She brings an amazing energy and vibrance to a shoot, fantastic versatility and an ethereal elegance. She poses beautiful with no need for direction and easily goes with the flow when a little odd idea gets thrown in. I cannot wait to shoot with her again soon.

Wonderful shoot with Helen today at her studio day in Nottingham at Redtree.

She was attentive to understand my theme and modeled effortlessly in what was a melancholy set of ideas. If anything the slot was too short!

I would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again soon.

Helen is an absolute dream to work with...

She's extremely professional and takes direction when required whilst also flowing through poses of her own...

She is entertaining and has a good sense of humour which is just as well after the paint debacle 😆...

Highly recommended...

Thank you Helen for the all too short shoot...

Another great shoot with Helen.

As usual she arrived well prepared with several different outfits for us to shoot. We discussed what kind of look and feel we were going for and the Helen did her thing. Almost from the test shot we were getting great results and the shoot flew by.

Highly recommend Baldbraveandbeautiful she's professional,passionate, really easy to work with and is getting better with every shoot.

Finally got to shoot with Helen. Arrangements for the evening were very straightforward and Helen turned up on time. Ready to shoot. Helen is an experienced model and photographer, who came up with some great ideas. She was also more than happy to take direction, while being able to switch between poses at will.

It was a pleasure to shoot with her and I hope we get the opportunity to do so again. She's a fab model who I'd recommend to both experienced and inexperienced photographers.

I had a shoot with Helen as part of her studio day at Crossroads Studio and thoroughly enjoyed it. She is so easy to get on with and needs little or no direction. The time flowed and some great images were achieved. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and she fully prepared for the ideas I had given her. Would definitely recommend working with her if you get the chance.

Shot with this amazing young lady at her studio day at Crossroads Studio.

She has an amazing look and can offer so many different ideas to many models. Helen goes from pose to pose without any effort and has an endless amount of energy.

She is very easy to get along with and the whole shoot was great fun. Hopefully we will get to shoot together again soon.

I can definitely recommend Helen to photographers of all levels

First time working with Helen and she was a joy to work with. Her look is stunning and very distinctive which resulted in a lot of impact from the simplest of setups. I loved her personality, a lot of fun and quite chatty, focussing when needed. She came to the shoot with both experience and ideas for the shoot which were unprompted and helpful. Great model, great person and striking results. Hope to work with Helen again in the future.

I met Helen on a group shoot, and since then we have worked together a number of times. With different styles, both location and studio. Always the proffesional and very prompt, always good communication. Helen brings a wide range of experience to the shoot. Not forgetting her sense of humour.

Helen is very patient allowing time to sort out poses and props.

Would highly recommend Helen to anyone. privlage to call her a friend

Had such an excellent shoot today with BaldBraveandbeautiful in Edinburgh. All the arrangements were professionally set up we got started right away on time. I must say that this model brings a wide range of experience to the shoot, with great looks and super modelling abilities. We worked through a long shoot list with ease and she shot absolutely tirelessly.

I am so glad that we managed to match diaries to fit in the shoot and this model is highly recommended.

Had a great shoot with Helen at Loud and Flashy studio. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, clear and open and sharing some great ideas. Helen was very patient during the shoot while I was working out what I was doing and trying to get things right. Helen has some great ideas and poses very naturally and is a fun person to chat to, very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone.

Helen is fantastic to work with, funny, reliable, creative and very talented.

Can't wait for the next shoot with her :-)

Helen and I met on a group shoot which was great so I was optimistic that we could work together well but this was our first 1-1 shoot and Helen was kind enough to travel to my small home studio to help make it happen. Helen was very professional from start to finish so shoot arrangements were straightforward which is always encouraging. On the day Helen had brought a stunning ball gown that fitted our first theme and was a joy to shoot for some very dramatic images. After the ball gown we moved seamlessly in to a range of other very different looks and Helen was enthusiastic and fun throughout. Posing was fluid and creative and we had a very enjoyable session with lots of super images that I am looking forward to editting. All in all an excellent shoot and Helen is easy and a joy to work with - definitely recommended 😀

Every once in a while, circumstances conspire to completely change your plans for the day. And so it was on Saturday when I had no intention of shooting that day and had made other plans. Then Baldbraveandbeautiful put a casting up that she was travelling from Gateshead to attend an event round the corner and was looking to squeeze in another quick shoot on the way home. It seemed rude not to!. She is a great model with a great look, full of enthusiasm and energy for the task even after a four hour shoot prior, (and two hours driving!) We shot for a couple of hours, I wanted to shoot in mono and use some fairly ancient lenses to try and get a filmlike look to the images. So it was, 2 hours, bish, bash, bosh and 200 images later we had a great selection to take forward to edit. She understood and embraced my vague ideas and was patient and tolerant of what I concede were less than ideal temperatures. She was a pleasure to work with. Thank You. Recommended by me :)

Helens performance was nothing short of mesmerizing as she seamlessly transitioned between the glamorous Glitterball persona and the mysterious Detective Noire character. Her versatility and attention to detail showcased a remarkable range of talent, leaving the Photographers captivated and impressed by her impeccable portrayal of both roles.
