Hi, I’m HELEN OAKES a Photographer, Educator, Digital Artist, Blogger and Podcaster.
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2007 and I predominantly shoot PERSONAL BRANDING, COMMERCIAL, LIFESTYLE, HEADSHOTS and SPORTS & EVENTS. I have PACKAGES available to purchase. Check out my previous shoots in my PORTFOLIO.
MAKE A LIVING FROM YOUR PASSION
I produce COURSES of value to people who want to accelerate their photography to the next level. I help photographers make a living from their passion by overcoming their fears and gaining more clients. My educational training will help you survive and thrive in business.
It’s great being behind the camera but I love post-processing photos too, it’s where all the magic happens. I pride myself on my editing skills and I have created my own style using my custom made PRESETS and TEXTURES. These are great tools for photographers, bloggers and graphic artists and are available from my SHOP.
In my PODCAST I talk about travel, photography and anything on my mind. It is an open topic chat with myself and Danny de Hek from WHAT : DE HEK podcast. My BLOG provides a forum for photography, travel and all things I’m passionate about. Let’s talk or meet, book a 15min complimentary STRATEGY SESSION.
