Helen Sloan

Still photographer

Principal one on the HBO Game of Thrones's set

​

Helen Sloan is principle stills photographer of Game of Thrones Helen Sloan. She’s been on the Thrones set since day one, and has snapped innumerable beautiful images.

​

Sloan is a Belfast, Northern Ireland native who was always a photography nut. At the age of 11, she tool a job with a traveling circus to immortalize “melancholic portraits of clowns and acrobats.” She later worked in the low-budget Irish horror film industry, was eventually hired to cover the original Thrones pilot, and the rest is history. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a photogenic trip down memory lane.

​

A movie producer encouraged Sloan to apply for the HBO set photographer gig, telling her “[L]ook, there’s this job coming into Belfast, and it’s got all kinds of wizards and a lot of the nerdy stuff that you’re into.” Though skeptical, she mailed her work portfolio to HBO in “a big solid leather-bound book. And, of course, that was a decade ago, and I managed to make it the whole way through without perishing.”
