Another fantastic shoot with Chiara, a duo with Natural Happy Woman.

I never tire of working with this great lady. She always produces great images with her posing & styling, & she's generous with her advice on lighting etc.

Apparently she was feeling a little under the weather (the dreaded "bug" that's going around) but that didn't deter her one bit. In front of the camera she was every bit the consumate professional, eager to do her best for me.

As ever, I can't recommend her highly enough.

OMG WOW!!!! What can I say about Cheryl that hasn't already been said? I have admired Cheryl's work as a model and as a photographer for years now and feel she is one of those models that brings so much to the table. She is the sort of person you would give an idea to just to see what she would do with it, She is utterly inspiring!!!

Each shoot is bespoke and unique with great attention to detail carefully thought out, and believe me, so much love and detail is poured into each set! Cheryl and Simon are both very welcoming and went to great lengths to ensure the sets and lighting were perfect for every set.

The whole day was a pure joy, to be in the company of this amazingly talented, beautiful and inspiring lady. what an amazing model.

I learned so much, got some amazing photos and yes I'll be planning more shoots with Cheryl very soon :-)

Thankyou for such a lovely experience

Highly, highly recommend

Wow - what an amazing lady and location. Booked originally just the location, which is a fantastic and eclectic mix of boho, hippy and Romany sets that fitted perfectly with my Fortune Teller inspired shoot. In addition to great sets, Chiara furnished us with drinks, assistance (even roping in the long suffering Simon to hold reflectors) and advice. Then offered to join in and model for a few shots too with Ria Fantastic (think the girls were having way too much fun). Sent home with freshly baked bread from Simon which was awesome too. Fab location, fab people and great fun. Thank you!

Absolutely recommended without hesitation.

What a pleasure and honour it was to have my first shoot with Chiara at her home which was an amazing experience with this talented and experienced model.

The days shoot was an inspiration of amazing creativity of ideas we worked using the various sets Chiara has to offer.

Chiara also excels in offering advice on camera angles and lighting that best accentuate her body especially when shooting artistic nude images.

We had a full day shoot with ideas and inspiration for the numerous sets which made for awesome images.

Thanks must also go to Simone who assisted us on sets and lighting to make everything work.

Chiara is very professional model, fun to work with and a beautiful person who I highly recommend.

I'm now looking forward to and can't wait for our next shoot.

This was our second shoot, and again Chiara was superbly elegant, professional, accommodating, and good humoured. Additionally her styling skills have realised 3 unique garden-built sets. There are very few models on PP of this calibre, and I really cannot recommend her highly enough. And thank you both for the lovely meal and conversation.

Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Chiara at her place on Monday, I thought I may have had to cancel due to traffic delays but Chiara was very understanding and agreed to push the shoot back by a couple of hours.

Chiara has an amazing look and style, (as well as an excellent ability to change how she looks),and is extremely relaxed away from and infront of the camera whilst at the same time being a complete professional in her approach to working. She can easily move into poses without direction while still being receptive to the photographers ideas, this makes for a really enjoyable and creative shoot especially when the excellent props/set-ups in her garden are used as well as her huge wardrobe of clothes and props.

The whole shoot was a very enjoyable and fun experiance, as for the photos I've got alot to work on and will be posting a selection soon, (unfortunately I got so engrossed in the shoot we never got round to using all the shooting set-ups in the garden:).

To sum up I thouraghly recommend working with Chiara and look forward to doing so again.

It just doesn't get better than this. I had a 3 hour shoot with Chiara, and extended to 4. We whipped through concept after concept and she delivered styling, creativity and pose after pose. All while laughing, chatting and generally having a whale of a time.

If there is one model I plan to shoot with again, its Chiara - and I highly recommend her to you!

I have worked with Chiara on a few occasions, so I knew she would be perfect for a sci fi themed shoot I was planning.

Chiara is one of the most creative and talented models I have been fortunate enough to work with. She worked with great enthusiasm, energy and passion during the shoot to help me capture some of my best work so far.

We also seem to have a recurring theme of hilarious playlist choices which gave us a laugh during the shoot!

In short, it was an epic shoot and if you have never worked with Chiara, you really should organise a shoot with her.

Highly recommended!!

As I hadn’t worked with Chiara for a while, never a good thing, we arranged a quick shoot around the back streets of Brighton one early evening after I finished the day job and she was done with the business she had in Brighton. I did worry a bit about overused locations but of course Chiara made them all look fresh and original. If you’re looking for fantastic styling and posing skills look no further than Chiara - and she’ll make the shoot huge fun too :)

I've wanted to shoot with Chiara for absolutely ages. When the opportunity arose, I grabbed it with both hands. Chiara is such a genuine, open, warm person - we just hit it off from the start. Couldn't stop chatting and laughing all day.

Plan was to shoot outside at Chiara's home but the weather was really unkind to us (Even though it was late July...) Cold, grey and drizzling most of the day. But Chiara never complained. We just got on with it and created some absolutely astonishing images.

Can't believe how many different looks/styles we created. And we NAILED them :)

Top, top model. (Beautiful human being... :))

Cannot wait until our next shoot.

Recommended? Hell yeah! :)

Lovely shoot with Chiara yesterday at a woodland and beach location near her home. As always, a total dream to photograph. Highly creative, enthusiastic and hardworking...and great company just to be with. I can't recommend her highly enough. Looking forward to the next time...

I shot Chiara at her Bohemian Garden event at the Hacienda.

probably the umpteenth time we've worked together and i keep going back for more.

i love love love working with Chiara. always an amazing shoot and always get totally different images.

I hadn't worked with CTE for a couple of years and it was great to work with her again. Out of all of the models I've worked with i find that I'm at my most creative best when i'm with Chiara!

We shot at her home on the south coast which has some really cool sets to explore. We also made use of the local beach for some awesome sunset bikini shots.

Always a pleasure to shoot with Chiara. Since we both were going to be in London for the PP social, I arranged to have a shoot with Chaira in the afternoon beforehand as I'd got a new bit of kit, a camera flash as I want to improve in this area, and I couldn't have thought of a better model to try it out with as there wasn't any pressure to produce any images and if I didn't get any usable results on my part then it was a fun shoot to have and catch up with Chiara. After testing the new bit of kit, we tried some beauty dish work with the studio flash kit as Chiara is always full of creative ideas and we got some amazing shots in a shoot that was fun and creative as always with Chiara.

Showed up and didn't get her knob out. Recommended.

Also, created some fabulous images with me and as always just snaps into poses like she was born to it. Chiara is an accomplished photographer herself so she is always happy to suggest improvements to the set up and lighting that help enhance the shoot,

I'm not sure if I love or hate this woman. Anyone who can take selfies that are better than my shots really gets my goat!

Seriously, I was SO lucky to work with Chiara again, this time at Studland shooting her & Natural Happy Woman together. We also squeezed in a few one to one shots, & I'm so pleased she was out of her "retirement", for a while at least.

She is still patient enough to give me even more pointers on how to improve my work, & I feel I owe much of my skill (if you can call it that) to her.

Unable to recommend highly enough.

This was my first shoot with Chiara at the wonderful Studland Bay House, my second visit to the location. I had been keen to work with Chiara ever since we both attended a Walter's Wardrobe event.

Chiara is a hugely experienced, naturally creative and imaginative model, but also a retoucher and photographer and her broadly based talents shows so clearly in her professionalism and her work.

Our exchanges before the shoot were all were fun, friendly and supportive. Chiara was already at Studland when I arrived, all prepared and ready to go. Chiara's lovely, bubbly personality makes the shoot both fun and productive. She is also highly supportive, offering ideas and suggestions if the photographer is receptive.

I am so glad I was able to work with her before she stops modelling completely. I have no hestitation recommending Chiara and if you haven't work with you yet, you should.

Thank you for a much enjoyed morning Chiara.

Cheryl stepped in last minute for a shoot after my model pulled out. She is still as amazing as ever, absolute diamond. Helped with styling ideas as well as being a perfect model. Thank you again bird xx

Just had another great shoot with Chiara, I can't recommend her enough to everyone. She knows instinctively where the light is and how to twist and turn that little bit here and there to get the best out of each pose. Every time we meet up we have such a laugh throughout the shoot and I always learn so much from her.She has already edited some of the shots we took which I find amazing as I am still looking through them trying to decide which to use. She is having a break from modelling but when she feels up to shooting again I will definitely be one of the 1st in the queue to work with her again.

Steve Westwood

I had worked with Chiara at a lighting workshop and had wanted to do a 'proper' shoot with her ever since. She is totally awesome as a model and as a human being and I'm very proud of the work we produced together and of our friendship.

I will certainly work with her again and can recommend her unreservedly.

Thank you for a fantastic afternoon :)
