I love working with Helen. Being in sync with your photographer on any project is a gift with the most magic of outcomes.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Helen on a number of projects, and each time the magic continues.
Her ability to see, create and direct original concepts is artistic and beautiful in equal measure. Thank you for showing us a beautiful world through your eyes.

Helen has the most amazing eye and spontaneous creative nature I’ve worked with. Working with her was so easy and fun. She made it a breeze.
I am in deep gratitude for all that she did, I love the cover of my book, the portfolio of incredibly beautiful food shots and my profile shots too. Can’t wait to do it all again for my next book. Wouldn’t dream of doing it with anyone else.

Helen’s screaming bias for natural light – in any environment – is clever and rare. I’ve used her talents for lots of profile shots but also for very big, logistically challenging shoots where she’s pulled together really talented teams of stylists, make-up artists and other photographers to produce stand-out work (from private jets to James Bond cars). Helen is frighteningly efficient. And most importantly for a photographer, she possesses a great eye (although she definitely has two).
SACRED SOMA. child of light. sister of love. lover of life. seeker of truth. student in all.
For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of being photographed by Helen on several occasions. She has an incredible ability to transform the often daunting experience of being in front of a camera into something playful and fun. This sense of ease shines through in the final images. Helen’s superpower lies in her keen eye for capturing the perfect angle at just the right moment – her timing is so precise that I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d make an excellent sniper! If you’re fortunate enough to have this super-talented woman behind the lens, consider yourself truly lucky. ‘Lightsmith’ is the perfect word to describe her very special kind of magic.
