Once again Helen put in a virtuoso performance on one of my workshops. This time it was a Film Noir theme, with Helen playing the part of a go-go dancer in a mob-run nightclub who falls for one of the gangsters. Helen is an absolute delight to work with because she puts her heart and soul into getting the shot. She is also a great house guest during her tours and fun to be around. If you want a model who can deliver and who makes a shoot fun too, then look no further. Helen is all that and more.

Helen was the lead model on a Film Noir workshop I attended last month. The shoot was organised along a set story line with a series of tableau pieces that the attending photographers were given the opportunity to put their own style on. The scenes ranged from a smoky night club (in a studio) to the streets of Aberdeen, Helen was not only able to interpret the scene perfectly but by means of a gesture or look engaged with each photographer giving them a unique take on any given scenario.

As well as being an accomplished professional model with all the attributes that encompasses she is a genuinely nice person with an intellect to match.

Highly recommended to any photographer looking for that something extra in their images.

An Eye for Beauty

I was really glad my recent shoot with Helen (our 5th) was much sooner after the last one. That glorious cascade of auburn-red hair is even more lovely if that were possible! We have become firm friends and it was great to be able to chat over lunch when the shoot was over. Helen produces some very special images and this shoot was no exception. I look forward to editing a wide range of very different genres, which will help me to relive a really great 3 hours in her company making pictures to be proud of. No doubt we will be meeting up again before too much longer - I certainly hope so. High recommended. G x

The lovely Helen, incredible, funny and extremely professional. I loved shooting her over 2 days and cannot wait to again. Everything I said in my last reference is still true. Please do book her.

I have worked with Helen loads of times now, but I've completely forgotten to leave references. Silly me.

Helen is such a wonderful model, and so bloody versatile. In the times that we have worked together, we have done figure nude, David Lynch-inspired fashion, naked mannequin in the city centre, portraiture, pasta-eating ... and she excels at them all.

She gets photography, from both sides of the lens, and working with her feels like a true collaboration.

Highly recommended from me. Work with her.

Sensual Art

Helen is that wonderful blend of sweet and mad* which makes some models such a pleasure to work with. Add that she's able to work with "here's a stage, here's an outfit" and can make it work, with plenty of her own artistic contributions available whenever asked, and she's highly recommended.

* Anyone who is unfazed at the prospect of getting up at silly o'clock in the morning for some shots around sunrise is utterly mad in my book!

For any person who has not had a shoot with Helen I would;d like to present her as the ultimate on time professional model and should be booked at the earliest opportunity, you will certainly not regret the booking .

I am in the process of booking Helen for another shoot and am looking forward to her company again most highly recommended to all !!!!

I had the great pleasure to meet Helen for the first time when she worked with myself and another photographer at Artemis Fauna's house in Bedford. She was so easy to work with that the day simply flew by and we shot individually and as a duo with Artemis. They put together some very creative sets and I have some amazing images that I cannot wait to process and share. My preference is to shoot something different that has not been seen before and I certainly chose the right models to achieve this.Helen brings a lot of enthusiasm and ideas to a shoot and has a great sense of style and is ideally suited to what she does. I believe that we are shooting again on location in a couple of months time and I simple cannot wait. Helen is a lovely girl with a bubbly personality and I guarantee that you will love working with her. Thank you for a great day and I am really looking forwards to the next time.

My first shoot with Helen at Artemis Fauna's Georgian home. A beautiful day so the garden beckoned for some lovely art nude style pictures.

Helen is very amiable to work with and has a great figure for the genre.

Later we were joined by Artemis for some duo shots. They work so well together.

A thoroughly enjoyable day with some great pictures. Thanks Helen

My first shoot with Helen and hopefully it won't be long before I shoot with her again. Apart from being beautiful and a superb model she has a lovely personality and so easy to get along with. It was a pleasure to spend time with her. We chatted throughout the shoot and I have no idea where the time on our three hour shoot went. Great communication working up to the shoot Helen was totally professional with lots of ideas and I have no hesitation in recommending her to other photographers. Thank you Helen, I look forward to the next time. Regards - John

I contacted with Helen with an offer to shoot as she had applied for one of my prior castings, unfortunately on that occasion I'd already had a model booked.

Helen gave great communication and arrived on time - actually early, and I somehow walked right past her on the meet up at the station!

With her bubbly personality, it's hard not to get along with her straight away.

Helen is a great shoot, and works hard to get that perfect shot, even if it means trying it 5 or 6 times (she's persistent lol!) She takes direction well, and offers suggestions to try and make a better shot.

I'd most definitely recommend Helen to any photographer looking for a great all round model.

Had a great first shoot with Helen today after stalking her forever! My first ever location shoot on what turned out to be a glorious sunny morning in an ancient hill fort. We had the place to ourselves as dog walkers are not allowed inside so a perfect location.

What can I say that has not been said already about Helen: funny, chatty, amazingly sexy, willing to stand in trees, lie in who knows what and still be smiling at the end of it.

Helen is also very knowledgeable about photography and taught me a few things about how to get the best images, what lens to use and how to change the light for an image.

For that alone she is worth every penny. With the added bonus that she is an amazing model who always has a smile on her face ... until the camera points her way then the Helen Look comes out!

Would I book again: I am already trying to!

Would I recommend to others: YES.

I worked with Helen on a studio day I did in Gloucestershire. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and she came ready with a case of clothes based on the ideas we had discussed.

As an amateur with limited experience I was was instantly relaxed by her confident and easy going style. Helen was able to pose with out direction as well as take direction for specific shots I was after. She was also able to give a few hints and tips on lighting that were most welcome.

Looking forward to working with her again.

Worked with Helen for the first time last week and all i can say wow, what can we say except -lovely lady, kind, considerate, generous, professional! The location and weather for the day was spot on!

Communication was the best and, we discussed what images we would like create together and executed them as planned. Helens experience definitely shone through and made our two hour shoot melt away ! It would be a real pleasure to work with Helen again in the very near future. A fun, intelligent, thoughtful model. Thank Helen

Double Trouble - I recently had a double shoot with wonderful Helen and Rosa Dela and just about managed to contain them.

Helen is a superb model to work with and this is reflected in the upmost professionalism that she brings to all aspects of the shoot: comms, wardrobe, styling ideas, contribution and attitude. The shoot was a full day but time just slipped through our fingers so quickly, which is always a good sign.

I was so impressed with Helen and would give her the utmost recommendation to any photographer wanting a versatile and truly competent model. some great shots achieved and I would love to work with her again.

I had another awesome shoot with Helen last week and I think this may even be the best one yet!

Our looks compliment each other well and seemingly our silly sense of humour too :P

We got through lots of sets and had a good giggle throughout, so the atmosphere was great and we both felt comfortable with the assignment.

Helen is beautiful inside and out, so easy to work with and talk to, poses so effortlessly and is extremely versatile-you'd be a fool to turn her down for a shoot!

I hope to shoot with this lovely lady again and again and I look forward to the next time!
