More than meets the eye! The over-head light is a godsend for interesting photos and its not too hard to control the light levels. There's a wide set of props available too!

Great studio space with lots of flexibility and options on backgrounds and props

A range of lighting is available which was easy to set up and we were shooting in no time

Coffee and biscuits too 🙂

We would definitely recommend

Was really nice meeting Roger & Helen. They're a lovely couple and I was made to feel really welcome at the studio. Looking forward to working with them again.

I recently had a shoot with Helen at her studio. The Studio is a good space to shoot in, it has a selection of lighting equipment and triggers, there are several backdrops.

I was hosted by Helen who also modeled for me, she was lovely, a real gem of a lady, very easy to get on with and made some great costume suggestions

This is the second time I have shot with Helen at her studio. Helen provides a very warm welcome with plenty of tea.The studio is well equiped with various backdrops and lights available. The studio is well sized and I was able to get the images I wanted.

I have no hesitation in recommending Heavenly Bodies Studio to others

My first time shooting at Heavenly Bodies studio, a medium-sized and well-equipped space with a good selection of lights and backdrops, and many types of modifiers. The studio strikes a good balance for photographers of varying experience, providing plenty of options without being overwhelming. I was hosted by Helen who made sure all was well in the studio and ably handled any equipment queries in addition to providing first class modelling.

Highly recommended as a very usable and effective studio with excellent hosting and support.

Helen's home studio surpassed expectations. No shortage of lights, triggers and plenty of space to shoot. Equipped as well as some dedicated studios I’ve been in! The double garage is just studio space, turn up and fire away. Although I only needed a white background, there are others to choose from. Off-road parking just next to it, really what more you could you want? A top model? There’s one that comes with the studio - Helen!

I had my second shoot in Roger & Helen's lovely studio a couple of weeks ago. I was made very welcome, kept supplied with coffee and all the help I needed in setting things up and moving items around (I have some back problems). The studio is well equipped and allowed me to try various lighting and scene arrangements, ably supported by Roger and Helen when we discussed various ideas. I recommend Heavenly Bodies as good studio to use, and be certain of a good experience all round.

I had a great time shooting at Heavenly Bodies Studio with Helen Diaz. It was my first time at the studio and the whole experience was a pleasure. It was easier to get there from London than I was expecting, Helen was a warm and inviting host, and the studio was quite comfortable. It is well equipped with all the pro lights, backdrops, stands/boom needed to get the shot you want. I definitely recommend the studio and look forward to my next session there. And bonus if you get to shoot with Helen, she’s a wonderful human, and one of the more interesting people I’ve met in a long time 😊. Thanks for the great day!

I attended Heavenly bodies studio for shoot with Helen Diaz, it was my time at the studio although not first time shooting with Helen.

Both Helen and Rodger where very welcoming (and understanding of my not so punctual arrival). Tea was provided during the shoot.

The studio is has well equiped and provides a reasonable amount of space. Rodger was on hand to help with setting up the lighting when required .

This is my third shoot with Heavenly Bodies and it now feels like a home from home. The space is very adaptable with plenty of lighting and modifiers for any type of set up.

I can highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for an intimate space to be creative.

Thank you for making a nervous photographer very comfortable.

Hi

I just wanted to share my experience of working at t he Heavenly Bodies Studio, I could do that in one word, excellent, but let me enlarge a little by saying nothing was to much trouble, I was made to feel comfortable and welcome, the studio is well equipped easy to find and has parking outside.

It has an lighting setup, backdrops etc. But the main thing for me was it gives you confidence that you are working with people that care about what they are doing and know what it takes to get great photographs. Book, grand try it and enjoy it.

Thank you for reading this, and as I said excellent .

All the best John

My first visit to heavenly bodies studio started with a coffee and warm welcome the studio is compact and fully functional. The 3hr shoot with Helen Diaz pasted too quickly there is a friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend the studio.

Had another great shoot with Helen at her own private studio in her back garden. The studio is well equipped with plenty of props and lighting so there is no need to bring anything other than your camera and some short zooms lenses. My Sigma 17-50mm is ideal also my Cannon 24-105mm.

As always Helen is great fun and very professional. The studio is quite compact and has 2 backdrops to shoot against, plus the props, lighting and Helens various changes of clothes.

Anyone wanting to shoot Helen (not literally!) should try the studio as you'll get some great results.

I would highly recommend the studio and of course Helen to anyone.

Thanks again Helen for another great shoot

Welcomed by Helen at the Studio, the Studio is laid out very well, a little compact but does the job tremendously, Very good shoot with Helen within a very relaxed atmosphere

I would recommend Heavenly Bodies Studio if you want a studio to shoot from.

I had my second shoot with Helen at her studio, and as before it went extremely well. There was an additional background which I hadn't seen before, and we used that for a number of shots, as well as the garden, which Helen braved despite the cold. The studio is well equipped with lighting, so we had a great shoot despite some problems with my camera.

Well worth a visit!

Had a shoot with Helen at the studio. Great welcome and plenty of choice both in terms of lighting setup and backgrounds.

Helen was a great host, and I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot.

Thank you once again, Helen and Roger, for organising and hosting a superb shoot with the delightful and talented Antonia Jay (see separate review) at (aptly re-named) Heavenly Bodies Studio. Particular thanks to Roger for lighting expertise and to Helen for providing that designer dress - plus ample refreshments, crowned by a whole plate of delicious sandwiches to round off an enjoyable and successful afternoon. Studio and hosts are highly recommended, as always.

Antonia Jay

Helen contacted me for a studio day at her and Rogers beautiful studio Heavenly body studios, and of course I said yes as I have previously worked there with roger and loved the results of the shoot.

Helen has offered to do all of the castings handle the bookings and even kindly offered her help to sort my profile out in a more professional and beautiful layout.

I was picked up from the train station by roger and brought to the home studio where I was warmly greeted and offered tea/coffee.

I did my first 2 hour shoot with roger and had Helen’s wardrobe to use with beautiful accessories.

I had a fun shoot and got some amazing results. We had a lunch break where a buffet was provided and drinks. I then had my second shoot with NavNeet where we used some material from Helen’s wardrobe and created some stunning Indian bridal looks.

Then I had my last shoot with rhinocer which was really fun and I loved modelling with different props.

We finished the day and Helen had redesigned my profile which I am so grateful for, roger kindly drove me to my hotel at the end of the day.

I had a amazing time , Helen and Roger are very warm welcoming and lovely people and I highly recommend them and there studio. X
