References for Helen Diaz

Alan Dryer

Although I've been shooting for several years, I'm still fairly new to model shoots and was a little nervous! Needn't have worried - Helen was relaxed, fun to work with and extremely professional, with a great deal of intuitive response to different aspects of the session.

I very much look forward to working with her again, and can't recommend her highly enough - thank you so much Helen :)

I had the great please of working with Helen for the second time. Her pre-shoot communications was very clear, timely and professional. She brought plenty of clothes with her and was happy to wear a couple of things I brought with me. She was upbeat and positive throughout the shoot and was a joy to talk to and work with. Helen was very professional and took direction easily, often adding her own ideas and suggestions which were very helpful and improved the resulting images.

I look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended!

Helen is really nice, good fun to work with and a great model. I can't really add anything to the previous references, so I'll just give a thumbs up and a smiley face :) and advise you to book her.

I had my shoot with Helen on Saturday and am very fortunate to have had the chance to work with her! She's very kind and understanding and I think given that I had no references she took a chance working with me, but am grateful that she did! :) Helen suggested the location in South Wales for my shoot after I explained what I was looking for and it worked very well for the look and concept I had in mind. She also brought her own dress and some other things that were very helpful, as well as doing her own make-up. There were a few hiccups in the beginning of the day due to myself and my assistant, but despite that Helen was very patient and understanding with the both of us! I feel she was very professional, she knows what she is doing, so doesn't need much instruction, but is happy to try out any ideas you may have. I love her personality, she is very funny and such a sweetheart, I would most definitely love to work on another shoot with Helen in the future!! :) And yes, I would recommend booking Helen for your shoot! :)

This was my second shoot with the wonderful Helen Diaz and this is my second attempt therefore to add some words of praise to the 400+ positive references she already has on here - no easy task but here goes. Put simply Helen is one of the most wonderful and interesting people you could ever hope to spend some time photographing. She is a truly professional model so her natural beauty, the excellent pre-shoot banter and sizable wardrobe she owns all go without saying. What is more important are her top-notch skills as a model. She poses effortlessly and has loads of energy, ideas and enthusiasm which means it is very hard to actually take a bad picture of Helen (even for me). Even though when I photographed Helen she had only just returned from a grueling 7+ day modeling tour of the North she was still fresh as a daisy and looked great. She also has a wicked sense of humour which makes any shoot with her something you won't forget in a hurry. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to this game I'd recommend you book Helen for a shoot - you won't be disappointed. Thanks once again Helen :-) :-) :-)

Helen is a great Model to work with full of energy but still professional. I'm still new to the studio shooting so it was nice to have a relaxed engaging and fun model to work with.

thanks Helen

I was delighted to get the opportunity to work with Helen during her visit to the North East.

The main thing I can add is that if you want to try the fields in which Helen so clearly excels, please don't hesitate before suggesting a booking with Helen. I felt that Helen was genuinely interested in ensuring that we both got the most from this shoot, with suggestions as to the best lighting and poses, together with frequent requests from Helen to check the results of each idea.

Communication prior to meeting was excellent and helpful, I was even advised of any dates when Helen might not be able to answer messages straight away during her tour.

On top of all this, I found Helen to be utterly charming, exuberant, and amusing company, and the time just flew by.

The Geordie accent needs a little bit of work, but everything else is just brilliant. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of shooting with Helen in a group shoot with 3 other togs. She is fun, bubbly, and full of energy. Willing to experiment with poses, lighting etc. Nothing was awkward and would love to work together if she is back in the area, as previously mentioned Geordie accent needs work, haha but think ended up getting the hang of wey aye

I had my first shoot with Helen recently (Wednesday 18th march 2015).

Helen is an experienced and stunningly beautiful model who really knows how to pose for any image.

Helen is a talented model and is professional in her attitude and yet always chatty and friendly.

I don't want to just repeat what others have said before, but I can only say that I highly recommend Helen for any photographer. She picked just the right outfits for each set and made them look fantastic too! Superb pre-shoot communication, effortless posing, fabulous results and great fun... what more can a photographer ask for!

Many thanks for a great evening’s photography Helen and looking forward to working again soon.

Regards Shaun

Helen was in my studio all day, first hired by a photographer and then for a group shoot organised by myself.

She's a consummate professional!

Her communications before the shoot were impeccable, she arrived promptly and immediately put the photographers at ease with good humour.

Her outfits were great and obviously she poses perfectly with and without direction.

She went out of her way to make sure everyone got great images, really taking an interest in the day, not just 'going through the motions'!

I can't wait to have her back in the studio :)

I had a great group shoot with Helen. This was my first photo shoot with her and found Helen to be very professional but friendly and puts you at ease with her good sense of humour and bags full of energy.

During the session, we went through a number of sets and Helen made sure all the photographers captured some great images. She was happy to pose independently or follow directions as appropriate

I look forward to the opportunity to work with Helen again very soon

I had my first shoot with Helen yesterday at my art studio and was blown away by how good she is. Her pre shoot communications were excellent and she arrived with a huge case containing an amazing selection of clothing and accessories. She has a great sense of humour and in incredibly energetic and creative. Helen is one of the premier league professional models who knows how to use light and pose whilst creating movement.

Helen is real fun to work with and you will always get amazing pictures, I can't recommend her highly enough, she is truly amazing!

I worked with Helen for the first time this week and what an absolute pleasure it was. She is very talented and professional in her art, poses beautifully and has a wonderful creative mind. Really hope I get to work with her again and can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Helen.

Superb, professional, communicative, beautiful, versatile, imaginative. Mad as a box of frogs.

Helen and I shot in the studio today and the 4 hours flew by. It was like working with an old friend with a warmth and chattiness that were engaging and entertaining. Photographically she is exceptionally versatile bringing suitcases full of clothes and accessories which I almost completely ignored to shoot her in a pure art nude style. Posing with grace and good flow as well as adjusting to the directions and ideas I had in mind - we shot a range of images and ideas and she excelled in all of them.

If you are reading this to decide whether or not you should shoot Helen, then you should.

Helen was great fun to work with as an MUA, massive personality, really easy to chat with, absolutely gorgeous face to work on!

From the pre-shoot point of view would definitely like to work with her again and the images she and Doug Ross Photographic produced were lovely

As already mentioned on this page. Helen is professional with great communication skills, dedicated to her work and beautiful into the bargain.

Our shoot took place at Studio Q in Falkirk. The four hours simply flew past - and working in conjunction the Keki Cosmetics team we produced some stunning images.

If you are looking for a mundane -average shoot - truthfully Helen isn't going to fit the bill. If on the other hand you are looking for a lively shoot with a creative partner who is seriously (make that mega) larger than life; has great ideas, interesting wardrobe and gives 110% then check her diary/tour dates and book her. You won't regret it.

My 2nd time and certainly not my last. Helen will exercise your creative endurance, wit, sanity, all that is you - irrespective of ability and standing. An incredible human being that elevates your belief in all and everything. Working with Rachelle Summers, the Edinburgh public and myself our 2 days (all) together were just not enough. Like a beautiful, svelte, pedigree wonder ... Helen will joke, play, giggle and cavort ... and suddenly without warning - be the mythical, the medusa, the siren, the goddess, the beauteous wonder; all and everything ... everything. Allow Helen to be herself, just prepare your reflexes, camera skills and senses to capture the moments that only Helen can procure. My major complaint ... Helen only comes to Scotland every so often ;) but I think it will be more 'often' now ... xxxx.

My first shoot with Helen and at a Glasgow studio. Communication ahead of the shoot was excellent and she arrived on time with a large collection of clothes for the shoot. It was apparent from the outset that we would find shooting together an enjoyable and productive experience. Helen is chatty, good company, personable, friendly, beautiful and an excellent model. Time just flew by. Helen is experienced and professional, can pose without direction, but responds quickly to direction when given. Helen contacted me about a shoot and I was so glad she did. I am looking for images of the highest quality for competitions and these we have from the shoot today. I am sorry she is based so far from Glasgow and that opportunities to shoot with her will be few and far between. But rest assured when she is next up in Scotland I will be booking her for another shoot with her. I recommend Helen without reservation.

Had my first shoot with Helen just over a week ago. Helen turned up on time (actually she called to say that she could make it an hour earlier than planned, which was great) and full of great ideas for our shoot.

Helen brought with her a great wardrobe, props, wigs, and did her make-up to a very high standard. She was full of creative ideas, her flow of poses was great and she is a lot of fun to work with - as long as you keep the green tea flowing :-)

I would definitely highly recommend Helen and look forward to working with her again in the future.
