MEET THE AMBASSADOR

Helen was born in rural Ireland. Given her first camera at age 11, she quickly settled into her

‘fly on the wall’ personality, capturing memories of life around her. At age 18 while studying art in Belfast, she landed among a group of circus performers, where her non-intrusive style of photography and technical mind lent itself well to capturing circus skills and tricks for publicity shots. A series of melancholy circus portraits caught the attention of a movie producer who invited her to work on the set of a horror movie. Sloan landed a series of jobs on movies and television sets over the next decade, and then Game of Thrones came right to her doorstep. Helen is responsible for the photography from the hit HBO drama, having been there since the first day of filming on the pilot episode, and every day since. The job covers many genres of photography: landscape, portraiture, studio lit posters and behindthe-scenes documentaries.
