My name is Helena and I have been a photographer for a very long time.

My father, a hobbyist photographer, introduced me to my first camera. It was not love at first sight. It wasn't until my college days while taking photography classes as part of my illustration training, that I discovered what my father so loved about photography.

Headshots, portrait, product and event photography are all part of my repertoire but my favourite is nature. To freeze a moment in time; the crashing of a wave, the whoosh of a bird's wings, the intensity of a flower at its various stages of bloom. A moment in time that you can place on a wall, allowing that moment to be revisited over and over again; to close your eyes and drift away escaping into a world of calm.

My passion with nature photography is the passion that I apply to all of my photography assignments. Along with my training as a photographer, I am a professional illustrator. Composition, lighting, background awareness is apparent in my photography. 

With todays technology, photos can be manipulated to give a final image that is not a fair representation of the subject matter in the enviroment that it was taken. Unless commisioned otherwise, my experience allows me to give you that ideal photo without the requirement to spend a great deal of time remastering the image.

My company, Inkwell Images & Design has been in business for over 30 years. In addition to photography services, Inkwell offers web design, hosting services and print brokering.
