Recently shot with Helen during her trip to Scotland. I had wanted to shoot with her for some time as I had admired her work from afar and circumstances had conspired against that ! So this is the first piece of positive feedback, Helen is excellent in her communication, not just about her shoot but she is a very positive member of this site, shares ideas unselfishly and maintains contact. She was timely for the shoot ready to go from the outset and had considered the ideas we had previously shared bringing her own excellent imagination to the table.

The venue was full of possibilities and Helen showed a great deal of creativity in using them and we were able to improvise when we saw others arising. She takes direction exceptionally well but always adds her own interpretation bringing additional value to the shoot.

Keep Helen fired up on green tea (and chocolate) and she will work tirelessly! This was my first all day shoot and it certainly was not Helen who was flagging at the end!

Apart from her natural capabilities as a model and professionalism Helen is huge fun to work with, a really pleasant and genuine woman , considerate, humorous, keen to hear what you want to achieve but also happy to dig deep into her own repertoire to keep the ball rolling and the creativity coming in .

Book her, you wont regret it and I will again .

Eventually I got to shoot with the wonderful Helen Diaz! I managed to entice her to a castle in Scotland for a week where we got to shoot several times with some lovely results, both on her own and with a couple of the other models. Apart from being a fabulous, beautiful model, she is enormous fun to be around, completely bonkers and highly recommended!!

Had a great time with Helen today. Infectious energy and curiosity .. very committed to producing what I wanted. Excellent company. One regret, that we didn't have more time. Next time.

I was invited to assist my Friend AGMD when was shooting the lovely Ms Diaz and I was able to grab a few frames for my own portfolio. What can I say about this lovely professional model that hasn't already been said? Well she is fantastically professional, adaptable and of course beautiful young lady so if you get the chance to work with her please do not miss the opportunity. She is 90% the archetypal professional model and 10% of crazy that makes for a fantastic fun shoot.

After a loooong time of nattering over Facebook, we FINALLY got to work together! Hurrah!!

Helen is astonishingly stunning, super enthusiastic and passionately creative. Not to mention wonderfully idiosyncratic and tremendously funny!! She is a beautiful soul and I absolutely loved being in her company.

Now that The Two Helens have finally met (and the universe didn't implode in on itself, which was nice), we'll be planning lots more shoots and trips together - and I can't wait!!

Really looking forward to the next time I work with you again Helen!! xxx

Helen is such a hoot to work with. With her extensive wardrobe, MU skills, a repertoire second to none and a box of Green Tea ... we had a blast. Exploring various shooting scenarios that involved some funky lighting in the studio, water mist, some excellent choreographed leaping and dancing; always with the Helen chirpy smiles and banter. As it was a 2 day shoot, I allowed my chum Ian Coyle to join us to assist me on the Saturday. Between us we can claim a 1st - Helen Diaz can jump, very high, travel a good distance and pose at the same time. Our problem was stopping her :-) and my problem is where to stop with the platitudes?

I adore Helen as a 1 in a million human being which reflects in her working practices. In front of the camera there is no need for direction when the stage is set; just be aware of all the expressions, posture and movement ... make your camera work and capture it all. Be prepared to be worked; Helen doesn't stop but is sympathetic when a specific Lighting set up needs tweaking ... hehe my excuse for catching my breath. Simply wonderful to work with her and a honour.

Brilliant 2 days, with the equally brilliant Helen Diaz. Slainte xxx

Highly recommended every which way. Just avoid trees, Helen falls out of them :-)

I have admired Helen's beauty and amazing portfolio of work for some time and finally my dream came true with a chance to shoot with Helen on her Scotland tour. Would she live up to the flawless beauty I have seen in the images? Would she be that lively, bubbly and creative person I longed to work with? Would she be as intelligent, interesting and fluent as in her communication? I had no reason to doubt any of these as she was all these and more - one of the most lovely people I have ever met in my life and one of the most gifted and talented models I have had the pleasure to work with (and we have a shared admiration of Kate Bush). Never have I so wanted a shoot to continue! We were lucky with Scotland's warmest day of the year for location work although the downside was a more than usual number of tourists, dog-walkers, stoat photographers and so on but Helen dealt with all these in good spirit and with fun. I wish every model was as easy to work with as Helen and I cannot praise her awesome beauty in skin, face and hair and amazing figure for art nude work enough. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend Helen on all counts and she should be a role model for aspiring and up-and-coming models. Thank you so much Helen for a fantastic afternoon and I can't wait for the next shoot!

Helen is a model I have long hoped to work with and I finally had the good fortune to shoot with her recently over an extended period of 3 days. She already has so many glowing references that it is difficult to add to those, other than to endorse them.

She is a unique character and the shoots did not go entirely as I had expected, but I have to say that both as a model and a person she made a very positive impression on me and I really am pleased with many of the images we produced. She is remarkably beautiful (obviously), dedicated and sincere with an unusual and creative approach and as such is a real joy to shoot.

I don’t want to say much more other than if you get a chance to work with her, take it!

She is one of a kind and you won’t be disappointed.

Helen is totally professional, excellent communication, punctual and a real fun loving girl to work with.

She is quirky and she is superb in the art nude genre, which we shot in, she is totally relaxed and so very natural at being natural, fantastic poses, great improvisation and yet can take meticulous instructions.

She has emotional intelligence, great self awareness and has a awesome creative and collaborative side to her persona.

HIghly recommend, would love to work with Helen D, again!

I worked with this amazing model at the Bluebell Charity Shoot a few weeks ago.

She is one of the best models in the industry. She is talented, bubbly, outgoing, chatty & full of fun.

I feel I can really be myself around her, she has become a very good friend of mine.

Fantastic model & a lovely person.

Highly recommend, Hope to shoot with her again soon!

Talks for England. Handy with a hair brush!

Great sense of fun. Very professional and a joy to work with.

Shot with her and Helen Stephens and they were great together. Models who can model.

Delightful.

Look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended.

I was asked to produce some images that would be suitable for adapting into mermaids, and specifically asked by the client to use Helen as model. She embraced the project wholeheartedly and very successfully adapted to the restrictions imposed by the types of pose required, focusing her natural intuitive posing ability on the task. She also made very helpful contributions to the creative process throughout the day-long shoot. As ever she was stimulating and fun to work with and ensured that the lengthy shoot was a pleasure from start to finish.

She gave a bravura performance and our client was delighted with the results.

Thank you Helen

After communicating for a short while with Helen, we managed to arrange a shoot last week. Communication with Helen is always very clear and precise. She arrived with a very large suitcase full of different items of clothing and her make was already done. It was very easy to get on with Helen. She has a very bright and cheeky personality and a great laugh!

When we eventually got round to shooting, after tea and chatting, Helen showed her experience in modelling as she was able to pose effortlessly. She's a complete gem when it comes to working but at the same time, not too serious and very bubbly which made the shoot time absolutely fly. Really was a lot of fun working with Helen and she comes highly recommended from me :)

I had a fantastic first shoot (and I hopefully not the last) with Helen on her studio day. I had been wanting to shoot with Helen for a while, and it had been at a previous studio day that Brian, the studio owner, had asked me if there was anyone I would like to have at the studio and Helen was one of three names I threw out, and so wishes do come true.

Make-up and hair done to a high standard coupled with a work ethic second to none. Quick changes led to a fabulous set of shots, which I, and studio owner Brian, instantly knew that I had something special in my camera.

Helen is so easy going, a little bit crazy (which I love) and extremely professional she was up for the challenge of some different ideas(for me) from the start. I'd taken a few props/outfits and she was more than willing to, as they say, have a go, even taking a real shine to one outfit in particular! The only issue I now have is choosing the images to edit as all are fabulous and exactly what I hoped and more!

A great range of expressions, seamless posing and above all lots of fun and laughter. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Helen to any other photographers. A very professional and extremely talented model..........

So Helen, thank you so much for your hard work and full on efforts at making me look good.....!!

Highly Recommended 5*

Little that I can say that hasn't already been said numerous times.

I have just had the great pleasure of 2 shoots in 2 days with the whirlwind that is Helen Diaz.

She is an absolute joy to work with, consummately professional and completely bonkers with it.

Recommended on the highest level from me.

Elite portfolios

Just one word Stunning!

Excellent coms prior to shoot and wonderful to work with don't let this one get away

Helen is a lovely person and very easy to work with.

She is exceptionally professional and requires very little direction. After a couple of minutes discussing the ideas and theme Helen quickly engaged into the shoot.

An extremely enjoyable and productive time which was really good fun.

I highly recommend Helen and hope to work with again

thanks

Helen is a true joy to work with, and although it has all been said before ...... I will say it again ...... she is professional, creative, has a very unique photogenic look and is above all great fun to work with.

I cannot recommend Helen highly enough for any of your photographic work from fashion through to art nude.

I had an excellent shoot with Helen on Friday. She was immaculately prepared, and looked great throughout the shoot. Her seemingly inexhaustible repertoire of poses and facial expressions meant that we were easily able to get through a variety of looks. Helen's communications during the shoot were superb, and she was enthusiastic, good fun, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Helen is a true professional, and she worked extremely hard to help me get the images I was looking for. I certainly hope to work with her again, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I had my second shoot at long last with the lovely Helen today at Spitifre Studios.

It was one of the most memorable shoots that I have ever had. Much better than the last time.

Helen is an absolute joy to work with, full of fun and one can see that she is a consumate professional adopting poses without direction and each one producing a fabulous image. It is of course a great help that Helen has a magnificent figure and a face to die for.

Naturally thoroughly recommended

Thank you again Helen and let's not leave it so long before the next shoot? Meanwhile here are three early rushes,including no. 91 (see I remebered)
