What can I say, fabulous two hour shoot with Helen 2 February. After vlewing her portfolio I decide that I wanted to shoot her. Great attitude to work, great figure, great face, great great model. I will definitely be booking her again.

Worked with Helen Numerous times.....every one is a winner! One of the hardest working models I know. 100% recommended every time. Looking forward to shooting tomorrow, as well as hosting, can't wait.

Helen has over 600 references, all positive, so here's me with my own experience of Miss Diaz...

A four-hour shoot at Upper Mills went amazingly quickly and I am browsing through images which show just how good Helen is – effortless posing of a fabulous figure by someone totally relaxed and at home with art nude work, along with a sense of humour that's a little north of Slightly Bonkers and not quite as far as Barking Mad but almost there!! Great fun shoot, banter all the way through, rather exhausted by the end but hugely enjoyable and thoroughly recommended. Thanks, Helen.

A professional model with style and substance, able to work well with or without direction, very friendly and hard working, simply what is not to like. I work a lot with car photography and the need arises from time to time for a model capable of adapting to various styles, Helen delivers that extremely well and will not disappoint, thoroughly recommended.

Looking forward to the next opportunity

I had wanted to work with Helen for some time and I finally got the opportunity last Saturday. We had some great pre-shoot communications for arranging accommodation and location. Helen is stunningly beautiful, extremely creative, very artistic and wonderfully funny which when combined together made for an amazing shoot. She is very patient & experienced and contributes to make everything go smoothly. I had so much fun working with Helen and really hope to work with her again very soon. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Wow, what a brilliant first shoot with Helen! :) Not quite sure what I expected but I certainly had a great time. Helen's pre shoot communications were outstanding, so much so that I felt I had known her for years before we actually met.

We worked together at Art Asylum in Weymouth which provides an awesome variety of shooting set ups including some with natural light. To cover all the possibilities would require numerous visits so we chose those that worked best on the day.

Whatever she was asked to do Helen responded magnificently, working extremely hard with a rich variety of poses and lots of her own unique creative inputs! :) Her capacity for banter and humour is seemingly limitless so we had a fun filled day which is something I always appreciate. :) On top of this we also produced a large crop of really great images!! :)

How to sum up the day? I was totally Diazzled by Helen who is also totally recommended. I really hope we can get to work together again. Thanks for everything. :)

Helen has a very professional approach to her work. She is hard working and readily contributes ideas to the shoot. Helen has a great sense of humour and brings endless fun to her work making time pass quickly.

She was the perfect house guest and we enjoyed and evening meal together with great conversation.

I would happily work with her again and throughly recommend her.

Thanks Helen for such a super time.A x

We had a very quick shoot with Helen and managed to get around 4 outfit changes in an hour. Helen worked very hard and we managed to get some excellent images. Helen is very easy to work with and knows how to get the very best from a shoot. Really looking forward to working with her again soon.

First time I have worked with Helen and she is a star, lots of fun, hard working and full of inspiration, very good poses and knows what the photographer is looking for. hope to do another shoot in my studio were it is warm , when she is back in Wales.

Why do we work so often with Helen Diaz? It’s an easy question to answer ...

Helen is incredibly hard working – her communication is excellent and she brings a bundle of skills to the shoot - enthusiasm and intelligence amongst them. We create several looks, or characters, during a sitting and Helen embraces each; a chameleon, working with us to breathe life and animation into the pieces and very much part of the team rather than simply an ‘accessory’ to our work.

A quirky and fun presence in the studio, Helen’s experience in this industry is a huge asset and strength and, it goes without saying that our paths will cross again in the future.

Had met Helen at a social event and was immediately impressed with her poise and personality. We had our first shoot on the 5th Jan, what an amazing start to 2016.

Helen was sufffering with flu symptoms but gallantly carried on and the results are amazing. Time flew and I have so many great shots that my only problem is deciding on a few to put here, so, photos to follow! A lovely lady with clear standards, a creative mind and statuesque figure. Also a great bubbly personality. Absolutely fabulous to work with, will be a pleasure to repeat.

Thank you Helen!

Had a fantastic shoot with Helen today , not feeling her best however that would not stop Helen always the professional.

Always a joy working with Helen and managed to get some very nice images. Hope to work with you soon.

I recently had the great pleasure of shooting with Helen, her pre shoot communications were spot on. Helen has a very distinctive style and is great fun to work with, plenty of chit chat but also works hard to get some great images, she takes direction well but also has some great ideas to work with. Helens sense of humour is second to none and we had a great laugh together as well as achieving some fantastic results. I cannot recommend Helen more highly and I will definitely be back for a repeat shoot.

The last shoot of 2015 for me and it had to end on a high, Christmas Eve with the fabulously fun Helen Diaz, what a perfect combination. I was supplied with a home made mince pie (delish), which set me in fine form for the shoot. She's good isn't she? has any one else noticed? well I shall just keep this little secret to myself, I mean it's not like she has 632 positive references or something....oh wait, she has, must be true then. Awesome, with capitol A.

I finally got to shoot with Helen, after a number of attempts from both sides where we just couldn't match up the dates, and it was sooooooo worth waiting for!!!

Helen is absolutely fantastic. She needs no direction whatsoever and has a look to die for. We had such a blast chatting to each other and she was so fun and easy to talk to - so much so that I only took around 150 images. Not that that's a negative by any means as each image could easily be used - just shows you how good she is!

I honestly cannot praise Helen enough. I already have another shoot in mind that I am about to suggest to her (yes Helen, get ready for an email!).

As if you hadn't guessed already, I would recommend Helen to any photographer of any level.

What are you waiting for? Book her now!

Thanks for an amazing shoot Helen :-)

I can't believe I let two years go by since last shooting this wonderful model! After 4 hours of tea-drinking, conversation, laughing (a lot!) and some of Helen's amazing posing magic I have again come away with a hatful of beautiful images (as well as having as much fun on a shoot as it's possible to have).

Helen is still the genuine, talented, confident and professional person I shot 2 years ago, and I definitely intend to shoot with her again. Highly recommended. Thank you Helen! x

Had a great shoot with Helen yesterday. She was very easy to work with and great fun. She was full of good suggestions and the session ended far too soon. I hope we have the chance to work together again soon. She is a great model and I can thoroughly recommend her.

Had a shoot with Helen at her home today. Helen is a charming and chatty person very easy to get along with we had a laugh (several in fact) :d , her pre shoot coms were great and she was well prepared when I arrived. Helen's personality made the shoot very relaxed with the time just seeming to fly by with her posing easily without direction.

I look forward to working with again in the future :) and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Helen was my first…

One-to-one shoot that is! Prior to this I’d just done a group day and a workshop thingy; but this was my first pro model shoot without any other photographers around to help me out, and so I was naturally a bit nervous as I knocked on her door. I really needn’t of worried though, as Helen is very affable and right from the get go, easy to talk to and fun to be around!

As far as her modelling goes, she was awesome and needed no direction from me; which is just as well! lol. I’ve not had chance to scrutinise all my shots yet, but from the quick browse - I’m very happy with what I’ve seen!

The shoot was at Helen’s house, where she tried out a couple of different outfits, with a simple backdrop and lighting setup. So although my shots won’t be winning me any awards for originality; for me this was more about building confidence, and on that score, I’m not sure what more Helen could have done, she was brilliant!

So it will come as no surprise to learn I rate Helen very highly and would recommend her to anyone. If I had to find one fault… her mince pie baking skills needs a little work ;)

Had another lovely shoot with Helen last week. I have known Helen years so having just upgraded my studio lighting and wanting to try them out, when i saw she was in the area via a casting i had no hesitation in booking her again.

With Helen you know what your going to get. Its extremely hard not to get a great photo with her and few models for me personally, have that intensity eye connection to the camera that Helen has.

The shoot was very experimental, with myself trying out some new lighting set ups (as if new lights were not enough to get to grips with lol) and in booking Helen i knew she would be okay for me to tinker about with the set ups.

I shot with Helen in my 1st year in photography and still shoot with her and i can recommend working with her to all levels of photographer, new and experienced.

See you next time Helen :)
