Hi, I'm Helen, and i'm keen to celebrate diversity and redefine beauty standards after losing my hair due to Alopecia. I'm not going to kid myself that i'm going to change societal attitudes overnight, but I want to show that women can still be beautiful, feminine and sexy without hair. That to have a shaved head/hairloss doesn't always mean masc/androgynous, and to generally raise awareness of Alopecia as an ambassador for Alopecia UK. I can assure you that I will bring authenticity, confidence, and creativity to every shoot!

I have an IMDb credit for my acting/Special Action Extra (SPACT) role in 28 Years Later, and am a former international fencer and experienced freediver. I still train in the gym regularly. Therefore, I thrive in figurative work, and dynamic and physically demanding shoots.

I was also cover model for SalonEvo Magazine in Sept 2023 and Sept 2025 for articles on hair-replacement systems. This is the leading industry hair salon magazine.

I am based in Gateshead, and available to travel UK-wide and internationally.

I am especially interested in:

• Soft feminine styling

• Fine art nude in nature

• Elaborate styling, big dresses

• Whacky/creative concepts

I also have an extensive Pinterest board of ideas which I'm trying to work through!

With a background in wedding and landscape photography, I bring a technical knowledge of lighting, posing and composition, plus an athletic, adaptable look suited for both edgy and elegant concepts. I'm confident in both feminine and masculine styling and see myself as a very versatile blank canvas and a bit of a chameleon.

I have no tattoos, no piercings and have had no cosmetic surgery. I have one scar beneath my knee on my left leg from knee surgery, I'm not self conscious of it and to me it's not that visible. However it's easy to edit out in post, and I have no problem with photographers doing so if they wish.

Levels and terms:

• No requests for adult, glamour, or fetish work please

• Up to tasteful art nude.

• For art nude, no open leg or labia to be visible. I understand accidents happen when changing poses etc but by agreeing to my terms you agree to delete any images I'm not comfortable with and not use them

• I have no interest in glamour or erotica modelling. As such, I do not consent to photos of me being placed on adult sites.

• Bodypainting: topless is fine, with minimal underwear on lower half

• For nude work, please clearly explain to me your concepts prior to shooting so I can decide if the shoot is for me - I'm not a prude, but I have PTSD so need to be mindful of some situations

• As a rule, I will NOT wear wigs for a shoot, unless it is a period costume type theme. Otherwise, please do not ask. For commercial work, I will consider wigs/hair replacement systems but this depends on the campaign

Rates:

• Fashion to swimwear: £25/hr

• Lingerie: £30/hr

• Tasteful art nude: £40/hr

• Minimum booking: 2 hours

• Travel costs also apply

Whilst I primarily work for payment, I will consider TFP if I feel it will benefit my portfolio, so feel free to get in touch to discuss ideas.

Rates will be slightly higher if I am on tour, and I may ask for a small deposit to cover up front expenses of accommodation etc

I will invoice after every shoot (even if it's a zero invoice due to already being paid) for our records.

Cancellation Policy

If a paid shoot is arranged, and you need to cancel, we will first try to reschedule where possible.

Otherwise:

• 48+ hrs notice: no charge

•
