Hi I'm Chiara; I'm 38 which means I should probs be writing I'm 28 on my stats lols.. I'm silly as a bag o' bollocks. I try make the best out of any given situation and generally feel lucky and grateful for the frugal but fun lifestyle I've cultivated for myself. I've been called crazy & weird & all sorts for not conforming to society but I'm just a creative, happy person. I like dogs, sunshine, photography, image retouching, art, 60s music, playing the piano, scoffing chocolate, travelling, yoga, being warm, painting canvases, fashion design.. all sorts of things. Here are some recent candids of me.. (taken by Simon Fairclough)

My real name is actually Cheryl - I'm not fussed what you call me as long as any work featuring me as a model is credited Chiara Elisabetta. I often see photographers surprised when they discover I'm not Italian because of my name, dark eyes & olive skin, but bitterly disappointed with my Portsmouth accent, hahaaa. Apparently it's not all rainbows and unicorns in the real world though; something I've been advised a few times in my life by delightfully optimistic people.. but it kinda is all rainbows and unicorns over here because I do my best to make it that way. I'm a fantasist who doesn't believe in limits - maybe that seems far-fetched. Good, hehe.. jump on board!
I love my life, the variety & the thoughtful creative people who are in it.

I've worked full time in the industry as a model, photographer, retoucher & tutor since 2005 and feel I have unique selling points with the knowledge I've acquired over the years. I'm friendly & approachable and always love to chat over any questions, concerns or shoot themes.
I'm happy to offer suggestions and guidance during shoots should you ask for help, both from my model and photographer perspectives.

I model fashion, editorial, glamour, beauty, lingerie, non-explicit nude & erotica, conceptual themes, narrative storytelling, remote work..
I'm a toned, leggy, bendy, creative, unconventional, passionate, inquisitive, expressive bohemian with olive skin, dark eyes & chameleon qualities. I have wild curly hair unless you require other hairstyles, which I will be able to do with enough notice before a shoot.

Rates for in-person UK shoots are £60ph or £220 for 4hrs (half day) or £290 for 6hrs or £350 for 8hrs (full day), plus travel expenses if applicable.

I can shoot from home, (photos below) including the garden with a rustic old summerhouse and some lovely backdrops including a white wall & wooden shed, wooden chair / sunlounger props, a pergola with hanging vines and a fish pond with reeds.  
The living room is the only room which isn't quite as empty as these photos show.. there is now a record player on a low cupboard with a load of records - so tonnes of music to choose from - and I have a small electric piano, alongside a drop-leaf dining room table & chairs which can all easily be moved if necessary.

Please bear in mind this place is currently on the market and although unlikely, shoots may need to be moved in the case of viewings, but of course as much notice as possible will be given. For this reason though, I can not book home shoots too far in advance.
(Let me know if you fancy buying it too, yeah? 😆)

I also have a campervan which I can shoot from, which is currently parked a 10 minute walk / 3 minute drive from my place.. it's a Convoy Luton with wide side door and tail lift balcony at the back, double bed, large sofa, large sink, hob, kitchen, curtains, and the ability to style with additional fabrics.
I decorated it myself & it's a work in progress but this is what it currently looks like..
(Laptop can be removed obvs.. it's deliberately in shot to demonstrate I do actually do admin sometimes lols)

I am also available and set-up for accepting tethered remote shoot bookings with my Nikon D850, various prime & zoom lenses, speedlights, flash & appropriate modifiers, constant lights, reflectors, gels & more, and I would be very happy to guide you through the process and show you how you can very much retain control over the lighting, camera / flash settings, styling, composition and general direction of a shoot with me, just like a normal shoot in-person. 
I am happy to guide and make suggestions if invited to do so, just like on a regular shoot, but you have complete control and the photos are 100% yours as the photographer & copyright holder.
This is achieved by controlling my tethered camera through Digicam software, then sharing my screen with you so you then can operate my camera through the software, while I pose / move lights & camera tripod to your direction over a voice / video call to communicate.
You will need a WiFi connection, a computer where you can download free & legitimate screen sharing software such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer, and a phone so we can talk.
I appreciate you may think remote shooting is not your thing, but please don't assume it's not for you without at least reading a little about it or trying it first.

You can read absolutely everything you need to know about a remote shoot with me at my website below, but you can also book me for in-person shoots.
Please enquire for international rates.

I would be so happy to chat through any additional questions you may have, either over the phone, or messaging by clicking on the link below:

- I can shoot weekdays, evenings and weekends (basically any time which suits you unless I'm already booked up)
