Curriculum vitae · 1990—2024
A career spent inside remarkable stories.
Helen’s working archive reaches from film sets and broadcasting to royalty, sport, beauty, publishing and charitable work. This is a selected record of the people and organisations that have trusted her eye.
The working life behind the photographs
More than a list of names. A lifetime of learning how people want to be seen.
Helen’s current CV is broad because the work has always been broad: live productions, public figures, international publications, commercial campaigns and deeply personal occasions. The thread running through it is an unobtrusive approach and the ability to stay calm when the moment cannot be repeated.
