23/5/16 Helen filled in last minute when another model cancelled. She is so much fun to work with, Constant laughter but when you want to take the shot an absolute professional. Straight to the top of my favourites list.

Thanks Helen.

Just had my first session with Helen and enjoyed every minute of the over-full day. Her zany sense of humour and positive energy immediately engendered an easy and creative atmosphere making the hours disappear rather too rapidly.

She was a great source of ideas and produced just the right clothes for the various shots. Everyone has described her consummate professionalism and posing range and, thanks to her, the results achieved were just what I wanted.

Helen was a delight to work with I heartily recommend her.

Many Thanks Helen.

I worked with Helen in May 2016 and am very pleased that I did.

A terrific model: Relaxed, natural, confident, inventive and versatile. She arrived at our shoot on time after a long drive and ready to start – enthusiastic throughout, with a great sense of humour; A pleasure to work with and inspiration for a fine set of images. I look forward to working with her again. Definitely recommended.

Thank you Helen. 

It was fantastic to work with Helen once again. Since our first of three shoots to date, I always find myself looking forward to another booking, wondering with almost uncontainable exitement about what she will come up with next.

It is difficult for me to story board our shoots or to direct Helen, I have that much faith in her. I just know that whenever I point a camera at her, she springs a wonderful surprise and that every frame I shoot will be nothing short of a gem. If anything, she would kindly offer me tips to maximise my potential as a burgeoning photographer.

Despite a torrential downpour, Helen and I had such a truly captivating and unforgettable day shooting mostly in and around an old ruin situated on a hill above Tintern Abbey which she herself had recommended and understandably felt so passionate about.

I always feel completely relaxed working with Helen who is such a warm friendly and deeply caring, understanding person. In addition, she is such a funny girl. She always makes me laugh so much that its a wonder that we get any work done!

I won't be the first or last to give this talented model the highest recommendation and of course, I needn't have written any of the above as I could sum up everything regarding Helen Diaz in just one exclamation: Woo-hoo! :)

Thank you so much Helen x

I've been lucky enough to work with Helen on four shoots now, it's always a real laugh and total pleasure to shoot with her and this last time was no exception. One of the best models on the site without a doubt:) Thanks for another great shoot Helen!

I had another awesome session with Helen recently. Have no idea what to add to what's already been well said and documented. Total talent, total mad, poses so amazingly well. fabulous top notch all natural figure. Eyes to die for. An all round fun girl to hang out with during a long studio session. Can't image anyone ever being disappointed. Highly Recommended.

This week I had a fantastic outdoor shoot with Helen at a derelict Welsh location.

It was super easy to set up the shoot and discuss ideas with Helen, she is great at setting expectations for messages and/or responses, especially when she is busy. Working with Helen is great fun, she has a quirky sense of humour which makes for a relaxed and interesting shoot. Even with the not so warm conditions on the day and, to my mind, a little too much in the way of wind chill, Helen was a utter star getting the shots we'd discussed and more to boot. It's great how Helen works with an idea before and during a shoot, from the perfect wardrobe selection to being able to run with the merest hint on location. I've so many great shots to choose from I'm having trouble deciding which ones to use!

I'd love to work with Helen again and if you haven't done so yet I suggest you should too.

First shoot with Helen today at the Pit studio in Nottingham and what a shoot it was! Helen is extremely easy to get on with and lots of fun...the 4hrs just flew by!!

I hadn't really given much idea of what kind of shoot I wanted to do as I like to arrive and shoot and see what comes out of spontaneity and Helens wardrobe didn't disappoint. A huge seclection of outfits and some really great designs and patterns to work with.

Helen of course can pose with little or no direction and honestly amazed how quickly the look can change for each shot. Helens experience really helped with adjusting for the changing light and nothing was too much trouble.

To summarise... Great shoot, great model, great outfits and a really funny few hours!

I recently had the distinct pleasure to work with Helen for a full three hours at the wonderful Pit studio in Nottingham. Helen was only my second PP shoot and was quite wonderful to work with. Funny, perceptive, great to work with and full of brilliant ideas for shots. And she has an amazingly expressive face. The afternoon was like spending time with a friend. I would recommend Helen for any type of shoot and would love to work with her again.

I had my first "solo" shoot with Helen today at Talliston House. What a venue! But that is getting away from the main purpose of this note.

Helen is just so much fun to work with - a tremendous ice-breaker when I arrived - we exchanged some crazy stories, but more importantly she is such a professional. It was great to be able to concentrate on the lighting and the shooting, while Helen just went into a whole series of poses. She was really creative and helped we try out various ideas.

It really was so relaxed that time flew by and we were on such a roll that lunch was forgotten about until about 4pm. It was a long day for both of us - with Helen working really hard and in the evening she helped to load my car.

Whether you are experienced or not, you should have at least one session with Helen.

I worked with Helen at the Taliston House location in Essex, and had an amazing 3 hours of her time. It flew by and we never ran out of ideas. We had an early start but even that early in the morning she was fun to be around, and simply amazing in front of the camera. Helen will effortlessly flow from one pose to the next and came up with some great ideas as we went along. I'd been looking forward to working with Helen for a long time and wasn't disappointed, all good things come to those that wait. I highly recommend Helen to anybody.

The opportunity presented itself to shoot Helen at short notice, I jumped at it and was not disappointed. Helen has a gregarious and fun personality which makes working with her just an amazing experience - time flew by - 2 hours was just not long enough.

It goes without saying that I can highly recommend Helen - until next time - thank you.

Another shoot with Helen and what fun it was! This time we were at Talliston House, which is a fascinating location, and Helen was on great form. She is such a laugh to work with but also very professional and knows how to create a great image. I never tire of shooting with Helen. Every time different and Helen brings something new to the party. And she's such a lovely person to work with. I can't recommend her too highly.

Fantasy / Historical House & Gardens

For the third time we welcomed Helen Diaz to Talliston House & Gardens. This time it was for a two-day shoot with five photographers across many rooms and locations around the house. Always a pleasure, and very respectful of the property, we feel these photoshoots are in safe hands. Her classic style, looks and clothing complement whichever era photographers choose for a backdrop --- whether it's dark and gothic in the Haunted Bedroom or Victorian glamour in The Watchtower. We look forward to working with her again...

I have waited a long time to work with Helen and the wait was worth it.

Pre comms were excellent, and although Helen was delayed (by a RTA) she kept me updated about her progress.

Helen is so natural in front of the camera,with a vast selection of poses that just flow :)

The weather wasn't great,but it is a mark of a fab model that when there was a gap between the dark clouds Helen was ready and worked quickly to achieve excellent results.

I highly recommend Helen.

I look forward to working with Helen again :)

Had my second shoot with Helen at the Creativus stuido and it picked up where we left off after the first shoot! Helen is a genuine, lovely, friendly lady with a wicked sense of humour which makes the shoot very relaxed and puts you totally at ease.

She's always professional, well prepared with various outfits & looks and works tirelessly to achieve what's needed. I really can't recommend Helen enough. If you want a great model and a fun shoot, look no further!

Once again Helen, a massive thank you x

As Seen Through My Eyes

Had a fantastic 4hr shoot last Friday with the ever happy Helen at Creativus Studio in Hitchin.

It was my first proper studio shoot and Helen's experience enabled everything to run smoothly.

Just like on our previous shoots we were chatting constantly, and this made the shoot so enjoyable.

Once again I can't praise Helen enough,

Paulz

As always Helen's pre-shoot comms where great and she brought along loads of clothes. Helen is great fun to work with as well as a real professional so made sure I got the pictures and looks I wanted. The 4 hours went very fast as I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommended.

I had the great fortune to work with Helen and DominikaW on a charity shoot they had arranged to raise funds for a Children's Hospice. Helen was absolutely great prior to the shoot and we had got together some great ideas before the day.

Helen is a wonderful character who is so much fun to work with lots of laughs between sessions but then she has this work switch that she throws and becomes the dedicated model throwing 110% in to getting the right poses to achieve my ideas.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Helen, who will not be disappointed and you will have fun.

Thanks for a great session. Colin xx
