Helen's portfolio speaks for itself. I'd wanted to work with Helen for a while and I was delighted with the shoot. She is highly professional, very helpful with ideas and great company, which made for a thoroughly enjoyable and productive afternoon and I can't wait to process all the results. Thanks Helen.

Yet again, Helen delivered the good, underwater this time.

Always a pleasure to work with, and always on the list of my “go to models”. She works harder than any other model I’ve ever met. On the shoot in question of five models she produced more than half of the shots in the camera. Thank you so much Helen.

My first underwater shoot of the year was with Helen. She arrived brimming with ideas and costumes. What followed was one of my most enjoyable underwater shoots ever.

The results are amazing, so thank you so much Helen for being the crazy, brave, beautiful creative soul that you are.

Great shoot with Helen today. Comms were very good. The shoot itself flew by. Helen went to great length to get to the shoot on time despite bad traffic conditions. Great company and chat during the shoot. Thoroughly lovely lady, relatable, polite, professional. She is everything you could ask from a model and more I hope to continue shooting with Helen for many years to come. Planning shoot for early September. Very highly recommended.

Helen is a striking model and as a very inexperienced person shooting models I had a great morning with her, taking many images I loved. Helen handled an inexperienced tog amazingly well and her experience resulted in her choosing locations and looks that fitted the sort of images we had previously discussed very well. I hope to shoot with her again. (and will be disappointed if we don't)

Helen modelled for a group shoot I attended and was superb throughout. She was incredibly enthusiastic with all of the ideas and was able to immediately deliver excellent pose options, which allowed us to maximise the limited time slots. Very much enjoyed working with her and hopefully will have further opportunities to work together in the future.

So my long awaited first shoot with the fabulous and beautiful Helen finally happened today and boy it was worth the wait, great pre-comms a fashion styled theme along the river on her home town was the plan, Helen had three fabulous outfits ready to go, when shooting with Helen you soon realise the elegance of her poses and the ease to which pulls them of, we used various spots in the one location and got a fabulous selection of shots from each. Helen is joy to work with easy going and relaxed with a great sense of humour, and we are already planning the next one too.

Thank you for a great shoot today and looking forward to the next one

Once again back in the water with Helen, and what a star she is. I've lost count of the shoots we have done together, but I never want them to end. Helen is all I could ask for in a model. Smart, reliable and inventive. Never lacking in ideas, and always willing to push herself in order to make them happen. Thanks for yet another great shoot Helen.

Helen has modelled at a significant number of underwater shoots, but usually primarily for another photographer that I work alongside. This time however she was one of two models working directly with me at a new pool location.

Helen is one of the great experienced models that I can call upon, who will be up for almost anything we come up with for underwater.

Helen is eminently capable, and will contribute her own creative nuance to a concept, and deliver superb results. She is also one of a very select few, to whom I'm prepared to entrust raw files to edit. A complete professional and totally recommended.

I just love working with Helen. Our latest shoot saw her in a duo with Luke (Salient Lupus). Luke showcased Helen perfectly, and Helen’s strength and precision created the most beautiful shapes and lines.

This was a great three-way collaboration and I’m delighted with the results we achieved.

Helen is a star and I look forward to working with her again soon.

Unsurprisingly, my second shoot with Helen followed the same pattern as the first. As a model she is a complete professional and eager to play her part in securing the best images possible. As a person she is a great deal of fun to be with and the time passes very quickly. Strongly recommended, again.

Today was my second shoot with the incredible Helen, I just enjoy working with this lovely lady so much, she gives her all. Today was a duo with Luke whom she frequently does these incredible acrobatic duo shoots with. As a team they're incredible and definitely look forward to working again with Helen.

Helen and I had a brilliant all-day life drawing session which produced some innovative work in preparation for more focussed and creative future sessions. We were joined in the afternoon by her partner (Salient Lupus on PP) to explore the possibilities of duo poses with lifts and more challenging positions. To artists and photographers looking for more unusual and creative sessions I would thoroughly recommend Helen and her partner - both a delight to work with and great contributors to achieving a different perspective on your work.

Helen and Luke were fantastic. Came with a wide range of costume changes and were so comfortable in front of the camera which made it much easier to get in some great images. Great to get on with and highly recommended - let them loose on auto-pose job done.

Shot together on 2 occasions. What can I say; can’t fail to have a great shoot. Helen is a wonderful model who is a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and always adds value to the shoot. Looking forward to working with her again, already planning a shoot for next month.

Dave Belsham

Helen is a delight to work with. She comes to every shoot with energy, enthusiasm and whole-hearted commitment to get the best possible results. It’s difficult to say anything more about her the hasn’t been said many times already.

Suffice to say, I work with Helen whenever I get the opportunity and I have never yet regretted it.

Rik Rose Photography

Helen is not only an excellent, professional and experienced model she’s inspirational too. Fantastic to work with and unfazed by some unusual direction on my part, she ticked all the boxes artistically and dramatically for our current project. Looking forward to working with Helen again - very soon I hope.

Rachael Noton

I didn't have the pleasure to work with Helen, although I organised a shoot with her and Rikrose23. Through communications Helen was excellent and it was easy to explain to her what was needed. After the photoshoot there were some great comments by Rik, so was happy to hear it all went smoothly. Looking at the shots from the photoshoot I was able to see that Helen poses with ease and was really connected to the brief. Thanks Helen for being a star! Would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Helen this afternoon, feel privileged to be asked to work with her. Helen is down to earth, really lovely lady and easy going. She poses freely and in some positions I'd dare not ask for safety reasons in our abandoned hotel location. We've got some incredible images and look forward to editing them. Highly recommend her, and I'd love to work with Helen again.

Helen, came and stayed at my place while on her way to do a tour of the South West, and so glad she did, a wonderful person and beautiful model. So natural, and not afraid to smile, which is so refreshing. Her years as an artist muse certainly show, in her confidence and ability to create natural looking poses with little to no direction. Helen, is also very easy to talk with, which made the shoots (location & the home) enjoyable and time simply flew by. Highly recommended to all, I can’t wait until Helen maybe driving by again so that we can work together once more.
