I have had many shoots with Helen and have always found them to be inspiring and bringing a new insight each time. This time we were shooting portraits. Helen is brilliant at producing alluring and captivating expressions. We were using her studio which is well equipped and Helen has a great range of outfits and props, which we put to great use during the shoot. Helen is always great fun to work with and the time just flies by and I can recommend Helen most highly.

Thanks for a great shoot

Wow, five years since I last shot with Helen. Just had a three hour shoot in her home studio, which is very well equipped, and she is still a consummate professional. What an enjoyable shoot helped along by her enthusiasm and natural humour. A delight to work with, highly recommended.

What an amazing model! My shoot with Helen was a pleasure, she really embraced the ideas that I brought and made them possible. Helen’s professionalism, enthusiasm and energy really translated into a significant number of creative images. I would definitely book her again - Thank you 😊

Had a great shoot with Helen at her home studio. It is always such a pleasure to work with such a talented model who always brings her full creativity and energy to the shoot. The three hours just flew by and we got a ton of good shots and had a good laugh while doing it. Highly recommended!

My 4th shoot with Helen after a big break of 3 years why did I wait so long. Helen is an amazing professional model who makes your life as a photographer easy and your ideas come to life. Helen really is so much fun to work with I finished the shoot on a high with a huge smile on my face. But the main thing is she makes your images sing such a great person to collaborate with . Highly recommended thank you Helen :) :) I have a big job working out which are the bset of our set.

My experience of working with Helen for the second time, can only come with my greatest recommendations. Helen has great humour, ideas and dedication when working. Our pre shoot communication was perfect, both in terms of the shoot, ideas and theme, but also in respect of making sure that we were both safe in respect of the pandemic.

Saving the best to the last, I found Helen being good at adding her own ideas and twists to the theme that we discussed in our pre shoot communication. This not only improved the outcome but also helped to create a very relaxed atmosphere.

Highly recommended...

Lady Luck smiled on me today as I had my first shoot after lockdown with the incredible Helen Diaz. Confident, professional, effortlessly chatty and full of energy and enthusiasm, Helen is a wonderful model to work with, and her experience shows in her array of poses and her engagement with the camera. She was very patient and good humoured as I got to grips with the lighting in her amazing home studio, and messed around with props. She was easy to direct, greeting all my ideas with enthusiasm, but was the perfect model when left to do her thing undetected. What a fantastic first shoot after a year of hibernation! I highly recommend her and her studio. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Yesterday, I had my first shoot with the force of nature that is named Helen Diaz. It’s quite difficult to find words to describe the experience of working with her, but energetic, brilliant and endlessly inventive spring to mind. And one may also throw in delightfully chatty, uplifting and charismatic. The shoot itself was such great fun (with some philosophical discussions thrown in), that the three hours sped by in no time. Needless to say, Helen is a fascinating person and an extremely professional model, who flows through poses seamlessly (and she knows her way around a katana too!). The only difficult thing about the shoot will be selecting the best shots out of so many amazing ones. Anyone reading this might think that I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot with Helen and they would be darn right! I hope to work with her again in the near future. I highly recommended her for photographers of all experience levels.

I was delighted to receive a message from Helen saying that she's back to shooting after a long Covid-19-enforced break, and jumped at the chance to shoot with her for the second time.

I'm glad that I did, as today I had another wonderful shoot with her, this time utilizing the small but well-equipped studio in her house for a different look to our last shoot together.

We had agreed on a mood board with two main themes before the shoot, and Helen was well prepared with all the outfits required to achieve the looks I had in mind. Big thanks also to her partner, Roger, for help with setting up the lighting appropriately -- something which is new to me, having done very little studio work so far in my short photography career.

The time flew by, as it always does when you're having fun ;-) Helen was firing on all cylinders, venting months of pent-up creativity, and I got all the shots I had hoped for, and more :-)

If you're looking for talent, beauty, enthusiasm, inspiration, professionalism, a huge range of outfits and lots of engaging and humorous conversation along the way then look no further! I absolutely recommend Helen 100% and would love to work with her again in the future.

Thank you for another great shoot :-)

Been a while since I worked with Helen D February 2020. In addition to catching up with who what, where and when since.

We did some quality work, images, poses, interaction.

Had a wonderful shoot with Helen at her beautiful home.

Helen is always fun to work with and we got some really nice images.

We have worked together for some time now and its just like being with a friend. Which of course she is.

Helen has a great profile and a great model.

Hope to do a location shoot next, shortly.

Look forward to the next time.

After not shooting for the best part of a year, it’s fair to say that a few doubts about my ability to shoot well (or indeed which end of the camera to look through) where making themselves known. I needed to shoot again. I needed to shoot a pro model and have a fun relaxed shoot that’ll result in some great images. So I booked a shoot with Helen (who is the obvious choice) and all of the above happened in a great way. Helen is awesome, it’s always an absolute pleasure to work with her and the results are constantly great, what more can I say?

Thank you Helen, you rock!

Had my first shoot with Helen at her home studio ("The Den", here on PurplePort). She is very friendly, professional and easy to work with - she is happy to take direction or to strike appropriate poses herself. I sent over a moodboard in advance and on the day we worked through the different concepts - I was very pleased with the results and I would definitely recommend Helen to other photographers.

This was my first time working with Helen. It was a Remote Shoot in her home. I work with Natural Light and shot for Portraiture solely for this shoot. Helen was amazing thoughout the shoot and was everything I expected and tonns of energy. Pre Comms excellent. I had loads of fun chatting and joking with Helen & Rodger. Rodger was a fantastic assistant moving the camera around etc. I would highly recommend Helen and eagerly await our next shoot :)

Graham Wilcock

Had a remote shoot with Helen earlier this week. She is professional and photogenic, while being fun to work with. Having provided information on my aims beforehand, Helen was well-prepared.

The remote aspects worked well, with the studio manager Roger on hand to change backdrops and move the lighting.

The image file size means that a good internet connection is recommended for post-shoot download.

I recently had a remote shoot with Helen which was a real success.

Pre shoot comms were great and I was impressed with Helen’s preparation and attention to detail. Together with her positive attitude and bubbly personality it made the shoot fun and as easy as a face to face shoot.

Helen’s setup offers a sophisticated studio & lighting, and impressive camera equipment. I recommend Helen 100% for a shoot, whether remote or face to face after restrictions have eased. I would gladly work with her again. Thanks Helen!

Had a really good shoot with Helen at her home in Wiltshire.

I have shot with Helen many times now and it is always a joy.

Helen puts up with all the props I bring, and we use them to good effect.

Helen is always fun to work with, and the time goes by so quick.

Helen is an excellent model and always looks great in pictures.

She is highly recommended and can't wait to work with her again.

A joy.

Was great to work and catch up with Helen ,after about 12 months since our previous work together ! Shoot arrangements were handled in true professionalism , as usual, by Helen :).

We shot at Helen's excellently equipped Home Studio, with great help setting-up, from Helen and Roger (THANKS!)

Helen was perfectly prepared and ready, as per our pre-shoot discussions :)

As usual the Shoot was super productive and great "fun" !

Thank you, Helen, for yet another super Shoot. Hope to not leave it so long 'till the next one !!

This was my first shoot with Helen and it was enjoyable. Very easy to find the place and only a few minutes drive from the M4. We were able to use the house and her purpose built studio which meant we could try a variety of shots. She very kindly supplied coffee and we worked at a pace happy for both of us. I hope I can work with her again sometime.
