trusted by the best in esports
I love getting photographed by Helena. She always has a plan and ideas for poses, and knows how to make me look my best.
Helena is a wizard with the camera and somehow manages to make magic even on the tightest budgets. A pleasure to work with on site or online and truly respects the full creative process and value that different roles can bring. Her ability to capture emotion and raw feelings, as well as transitioning to editorial, humorous or fashion photography is unmatched!
Working with Helena during esports competitions have always been a pleasure - she is very professional and definitely one of the best in our industry. It is going to be 10 years of experiencing her expertise on the photoshoot craft very soon.
Helena has an exquisite eye and took some of my favourite photos ever. The care she shows for the subject in conjuction with the harmony of the overall image is stellar.

Helena is an energetic inspiration. At every event we've collaborated, she's come up with a cool idea to get the humanity out of players and showcase the key visual theme. Helena is candid, extremely motivated and always engaged proactively with making a better experience, not "just" shooting the event.
