I was fortunate enough to shoot with Helen and Aerlise together (and singly) on their charity studio day. Amazing to work with, Helen is a true professional and great fun to have on a shoot. This is not the first time I have worked with Helen, the first being several years ago. I would always welcome an opportunity though, she is an incredible character which shows in her images.

My first shoot with Helen on Friday came up to more than my expectations, even though I meet Helen a few years ago at a shoot she organised. Great communications before the shoot a great array of clothing and accessories. Helen is unbelievable a real gem of a model, truly great personality, fantastic modelling abilities and loves Kate Bush. So we put some music on and had I think one of the best shoots I have ever done.

I had previously worked with Helen just over two years ago and I grabbed the opportunity to work with this beautiful, crazy but delightful model once again, spending a full day shooting with her.

What can I say that hasn't been said before, she is an absolute joy to work with, totally professional and completely bonkers with it.

A few words of caution if you are considering working with her, she ate every chocolate biscuit in the house, (well almost I did hide some), wouldn't start without a bacon butty and gallons of green tea whilst professing to be on a diet! Oh and she kept calling me dad for which she earned a suitable chastisement.

On a serious note I am now left with an almost impossible task of choosing images to edit from the very many keepers, a truly wonderful model.

Helen thanks for the experience and I look forward to the next time.

It was 2012 since my last shoot with Helen and I had left it FAR too long. We had a shoot yesterday and she was amazing! Lots of ideas, creative poses and also a creative selection of clothing/head-dresses. We had a fabulous time shooting and I look forward to sharing some of my images on here. Thanks Helen. We won't leave it so long next time. X Jann.

I had the fantastic pleasure of having a shoot with this beautiful lively young lady

Helen was a wonderful model to work with the time just flew by but every minute was a joy

She has a great sense of humor and every minute was a laugh fantastic props to use

Needed no direction at all and was very courteous and polite and professional

I would definitely recommend Helen to every one to work with

Thanks Helen for a great shoot I can't wait to work with you again x

Helen was a joy to work with, really professional but also relaxed & friendly, she came really prepared and was happy to take direction and had lots of ideas too. We combined an outdoors location shoot with a studio shoot, and have some really beautiful effortless images... Helen is a stunning model with a captivating look and was really lovely to work with. I would definitely recommend Helen as a professional model. I'm really happy with so many images from our shoot together.

Another fab shoot with Helen, this time on location. The shoot was planned a few months ago but due to British weather had to be postponed so today we had wonderful weather but had to tackle holiday traffic, kids on school holidays and a wedding at the location we were shooting at - how inconsiderate of them to be there the same day as us!!!! However, Helen was as always the ultimate professional and none of that put her off. We had such a fun afternoon with lots of laughs and got some great shots all based around the concept I had planned. We even managed a cheeky few shots using the wedding car. Well it would have been rude not to! All pre shoot communication with Helen was great and she arrived well prepared. I love working with her and look forward to next time. Xx 😊❤️

My voice can be added to the multitude of photographers blessed to have worked with Helen. Whilst the weather was horrible, that didn't matter, as the range and styles Helen has perfected meant the shoot brief not only was exceeded but flew by. Helen is simply...a 'peach' to work with. Highly recommended.

Working with Helen was excellent. She's enthusiastic, cheerful, chatty, yet professional and keen to get great images for you.

I was interested in exploring bodyscapes and she had good input to help me get precisely what I wanted to achieve. We also shot some other ideas and got along great. At the end of the session I had more than I expected and a high proportion of "keepers".

For experienced, capable photographers she is a terrific model to work with, developing ideas and listening to what you want to shoot. For inexperienced photographers she'll be fun, easy to shoot and definitely not intimidating.

I'm looking forward to our next shoot together.

I'd've just had a fantastic afternoon with this young lady and managed to fit in multiple costume changes. Helen is fun to work with and can match banter with the best. Her communication from the initial enquiry right through to arriving is 100% Helen arrived with a large suitcase a BIG bag of enthusiasm and even bought her own Green Tea. I can't wait to work with Helen again and have pencilled in a date for a months time. If you haven't worked with Helen Diaz, then you don't know what you're missing.

First shoot with Helen and it was a great one.

She arrived on time with a suitcase full of clothes and lots of enthusiasm. First was cups of tea whilst deciding on clothing, planing shots, final studio preps. Then into the shoot.

Helen has great fluidity of movement in her poses and knows what makes her look lovely in photographs. The whole shoot was a very friendly, easy going yet professional experience. Helen is very easy to work with, listening to what I wanted to achieve, created lovely poses and was happy to follow my direction to develop them. As we went along we viewed what was shot and Helen would come up with new ideas to progress the theme.

So I've ended up with loads of great images, having enjoyed a lovely shoot with a model who is a joy to work with. Yes, very highly recommended.

Only my second shoot the the delightful and effervescent Helen - despite a harrowingly long journey to reach me, she switched on instantly and worked tirelessly to help me produce some fabulous images. Helen is dedicated to her craft, and such fun to work with - looking forward to our next shoot very much indeed!

Ok, what just happened?! 8D

Working with Helen is such an incredible experience - she truly is the epitome of a professional model. I enjoyed every moment of Helens visit, indeed, she didn't leave until gone midnight!

I would welcome you back anytime Helen, and I look forward to working with you again!

Had a shoot with Helen, she is one of the most pleasant, and experienced models around. She instantly locks onto a pose waits for the click and repeats time after time fab images.

A real pleasure to work with no need to direct, just give an idea of concept she will interoperate it brilliantly.

Came with bags of goodies. A really beautiful lady, and in front of the lens shines it was a days shoots right into the evening with over 1700 image (most of which can be used wow).

So highly recommended, if you have not had a shoot with her you really need to an experience to be treasured.

Many thanks

Omg! Helen is a flipping dream to work with! She came to my teepee garden & pranced about wonderfully! She was patient whilst I stuck her in a tree & put her in a 'dress' I'd made from a hideous pair of charity shop curtains LOL, nearly smoked her out with smoke pellets in a bronze lamp, nearly melted her when sat in the tent .. she is hardworking, creative, involved, can pose well & achingly beautiful, (her skin is just divine - what processing?!) but also so much fun to be around; we didn't stop giggling like lunatics and ended with a much needed curry.

Thank you for being so awesome on what was supposed to be your day off! As highly recommended as they come! x

Wow!

Talented? - Yes.

Beautiful? - Yes.

Hard working and enthusiastic? - Yes

Totally sane? - well I'm no expert...

Only joking. :)

Helen is an utter joy to work with.

Had a three hour shoot with Helen yesterday and I've never had the time go by so fast on a shoot. Helen picked up on all my ideas and ran with them.

Hopefully the first of many, many collaborations. Highly recommended.

Helen is a joy to work with Totally professional without exception! I couldn't recommend her enough.

Helen is exactly what everyone says she is. After a long and tiring drive to get here she threw herself into the shoot with unbelievable good humoured enthusiasm and expertise. She is totally delightful to work with and arrived with the heaviest suitcase I have ever lifted which was filled with all manner of useful outfits and props.

I would work again with her without hesitation.

I had a wonderful shoot with Helen at her home this morning.

Helen, as always is a delight to work with. A joy, in fact.

She is a fantastic model and poses with ease.

I have worked a number of times with Helen and will work with her again.

She is extremely professional and great fun to be with.

The pictures we did today look really very nice.

You can't go wrong with Helen.

Just had another entertaining shoot with this unique creature today. We even had a Tom Jones impersonator belting out the tunes to give us a soundtrack to jive to!

Gorgeous. Inventive. Endlessly entertaining, and effortlessly funny. Top drawer lady as well as a top drawer model. A true original, and always a pleasure to work with. Go on...Treat yourself.

Cheers again lovely :)
