About us

Welcome to Helen Nickisson Photography, where the art of photography is more than just a profession—it's a lifelong journey of creativity, passion, and empowerment. With over four decades of experience behind the lens, I've honed my craft across a diverse range of genres, each click of the shutter a testament to my dedication to visual storytelling.

As a female photographer and former journalist, my journey into the world of photography began with a profound appreciation for the power of imagery to capture moments, evoke emotions, and tell compelling stories. My lens has witnessed it all, each frame offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human experiences.

Specialising in portrait, glamour, and personal branding photography, I aim to create images that not only capture the essence of my subjects but also tell their unique stories. Through portrait photography, I strive to highlight the beauty, strength, and individuality of each person I photograph, creating timeless images that celebrate their true selves.

In personal branding photography, I work closely with professionals and entrepreneurs to craft images that reflect their brand's identity, values, and aspirations, helping them make a powerful and authentic connection with their audience.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to specialise in boudoir photography. With a deep-rooted belief in the inherent beauty and strength of every woman, I founded Boudoir Blenheim with the mission of empowering women to embrace their bodies, celebrate their sensuality, and reclaim their confidence through the art of boudoir photography.

My journey didn't stop at capturing moments however; it evolved into a passion for sharing my knowledge and expertise with others. As a mentor and educator, I've had the privilege of nurturing the next generation of photographers, imparting the technical skills and creative insights needed to excel in this dynamic field. Whether through workshops, courses, or one-on-one mentorship sessions, I take pride in empowering aspiring photographers to unlock their full potential and find their unique voice in the world of photography.

At Helen Nickisson Photography, my commitment goes beyond capturing beautiful images; it's about creating meaningful connections, fostering empowerment, and inspiring positive change. Whether you're an amateur photographer looking to refine your skills, a woman seeking to embrace your inner goddess, or a business entrepreneur looking to expand your public profile, I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery through the lens. Together, let's capture the beauty, celebrate the strength, and empower the spirit—one click at a time.
