Helena and I started working on my portfolio build and within 3 months I had published images for fashion and beauty, I had an international perfume campaign, 2 agents and a 2 months later, I flew out on my first international modeling contract. I have been in Vogue UK, Harpers Bazaar and BAHM magazine, a Neutrogena campaign and modeled in NY with Coco Rocha! All of this within 6 months of working with Helena! Thank you for making this work with me. UPDATE for 2023 Ella just returned from another international placement, has bookings again in NY and then to Europe. Update 2026 Ella is now living in Paris and attending Instituto Maragoni studying Fashion Design. “Helena I am so grateful you got me into this industry You helped me grow my confidence in who I am enough to reach for the stars and do something like this. I’m really in my zone and loving Paris! Thank you so much for your endless support”

Helena respectfully honoured the message of the art being photographed and everyone involved in the photo shoot, artist, models, makeup/hair etc . She captured some beautiful unique photos in one day of a very large art collection. Lighting and poses were strategically done with products, models and hair & makeup all in kept in mind. Capturing colours and crystals with unique lighting she used helped to increase the beauty and features of each subject simultaneously. The overall feeling of the photo shoot was of artistic photography and professionalism.

When I first met Helena, I was completely new to the modelling industry. I had no knowledge of the fashion business and had very little confidence behind the camera. When working with Helena, she constantly helps you on what you can improve on and makes the photoshoots extremely fun and educational. Shooting my portfolio with Helena was absolutely incredible. Her vast experience in the industry is evident in the way that she creates her art. To anyone watching her at work, you can tell immediately that she is in her element. I have developed many connections through her, including paid jobs working with NYFW designers. My work with her has been published in BAHM magazine, VOGUE Italia and others, she photographed me for a French perfume ad that was seen internationally and for this, I am incredibly grateful as being featured under such names is a huge push forward in my modelling career. Helena introduced me to my Mother Agency through which I have networked with agents from across the globe and I got my first international modeling contract. Additionally I have modeled in Paris! I would have never achieved any of this without the guidance and skills that Helena taught me. Because of her, I take every stride of my day, whether behind the camera or walking down the street, with

Helena is an amazing photographer who not only made me feel comfortable working with new people and in different settings but also took the time to mentor me in this fast pace industry. She taught me to move with confidence in front of the camera. She helped me build my portfolio creating my brand. With her help I’ve signed with two agencies, auditioned for international agents, walked (modeled) for over 20 international fashion designers, and to top it all off, my photos from two of our photo sessions were published in Vogue Italia! I am so pleased to have signed an international modeling contract – I am so excited. Helena has been so much more than just a photographer to me, she has been a friend and a mentor and I can’t thank her enough. She is so much more than just a photographer, she has helped me to build my confidence inside the modelling world and the outside world. Thanks so much Helena! UPDATE!!! Thrilled to once again be in @vogueitalia I couldn’t have done it without the amazing @helenalines

My baby did it again!! (in VOGUE ITALIA now in two different editorials) Heartfelt thanks to @helenalines photographer/mentor. To say you are an artist is such an understatement. Thank you for all you do.

Helena’s vision, skill, and creativity constantly amaze me. She sees the world through an innovative lens, and is always finding new ways to express statements through photography. Each image is unique and powerful. Working with Helena has been such a valuable experience, since she was an international model herself, she knows exactly what it takes to get the perfect shot from both sides of the camera. She taught me how to move and how to get out of my comfort zone to really express emotion for the shot. Helena introduced me to two modelling agencies which I am now signed with. I was then able to go with my agent to Paris, Milan, Versailles, Monaco, and Rome where I got to model for international designers. My work with Helena has been published in magazines including VOGUE ITALIA, BAHM and many other magazines. I am incredibly grateful since having tear sheets from such prestigious names is incredibly beneficial to advancing my modelling career My agents now have my promotional portfolio overseas being looked at by other agencies, and I cannot wait to travel again. Helena is truly brilliant, and I am forever grateful for all she has done for me. Because of her I get to do something I love for a living. I am lucky to know her.

I did my first ever photoshoot with Helena. She immediately put me at ease, had great locations planned and gave clear, encouraging advice. Before that day I never would’ve dreamed I would be living in London pursuing a career as a model. Not only did she inspire me, she enabled me, coached me and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in this industry. Without her continuing energy and guidance I would not be where I am today. Thank you Helena so much for all your support over the past couple years. It means the world to me!

My experience with Helena Lines has been absolutely incredible. I met her late December of 2018, and by May, I did my first session with her. It is easy to tell she is so passionate about what she does, and she believed in me so much right from the start- that really helped me to learn and grow so fast with modelling. I had never done any modelling before. With Helena’s extensive experience, coaching, encouragement and unwavering belief in me, I was on the cover of BAHM magazine. I have a total of 16 tear sheets and 2 cosmetic advertisements- a whole impressive portfolio! Helena again encouraged me to apply for Vancouver Fashion Week. I was accepted, attended each of the 7 days modeling for 11 international fashion designers and I absolutely loved it. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much. One week after VFW, I was offered a double contract with international agencies. Helena- she is truly amazing and puts everything she has into making her models successful. I could never thank her enough! I have a portfolio full of tear-sheets including our work for L’Officiel and BAHM magazine. I was on the front cover of BAHM Magazine, plus with Helena I have done 2 cosmetic advertisements as well.

Before meeting Helena, I had met with many other people; all of which were not willing to mentor me and help me take the beginning steps toward being a model. From my first conversation with Helena I knew that if someone was going to show me how to be successful in this business it would be her. Through working with her I have gained a confidence that I never knew existed. She has taught me how to fluidly move in front of the camera and how to feel confident in what I am doing. I have a portfolio of published tear sheets, two agents and have auditioned with several international agents who have expressed an interest in signing me to work overseas.

Supporting my daughter, Aleeya, in her dreams to model with an amazing portfolio required much research. Without question, Helena Lines absolutely delivered! Her professional approach to her models and photoshoots are exceptional, with great care taken for each session. Helena is unparalleled in her field for her artistry and has created with my daughter a collaboration of exquisite work to be very proud of. The time my daughter has spent with Helena has only added to her repertoire of tools in blossoming as a confident young woman. Aleeya is able to knowledgeably enter the modelling world and its demands with grace, professionalism and a magnificent portfolio. Thank you Helena Lines for sharing the beauty of your lens with the world!

Thank you!!! It was such a lovely experience for myself to get a chance to work with you and the rest of the team! The energy was fantastic.

I first met @helenalines an incredible human being, around September of 2016. It was after a fashion show and I had the opportunity to be introduced to her, after speaking with her, I knew that it would be an honor to work with her and I wanted that really badly. She gave me her website, and as soon as I was back at my hotel room I sent her a message on her website. I wasn’t sure she would remember me but I hoped. Believe me when I tell you that @helenalines is one of the reasons I’m as comfortable and confident in any shoot. She believed in me when I needed it the most, took a chance on me and helped me in more ways than anyone could imagine. Not only did she help me land my first ever magazine job but I also got the cover! Helena also photographed me for Vogue Italia! @helenalines I want to thank you, I really appreciate and love you. I really don’t know how things would have turned out if I didn’t meet you, but I’m glad I didn’t have to find out. I miss you and can’t wait to see you again soon!
