More about Helga S....
What do you love about your job?
My job gives me the freedom to be explore and satisfy my curious nature, it allows me to learn about different people and different places. I try to make meaning and beauty out of what I see.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I've done so many different types of shoots over the years but portraiture is probably my speciality, I'm good at putting people at ease and expressing their unique beauty. I understand that people can feel quite stressed by having their photograph taken and I'm good at keeping it relaxed and enjoyable.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
I've been shortlisted for the prestigious Bowness Photographic prize twice and I'm a member of Mapgroup, an independent collective of documentary photographers. We work on projects together which are of a social documentary nature. We regularly collaborate with the Australian Conservation Foundation and produced a book titled 'Heartland' as a fundraiser for the ACF.
