A two hour shoot with this amazing model is not enough - so many options at her place, with the beach right next door she also has a great garden with bell tent , stunningly decorated. She has an amazing energy coupled with great creativity. Highly recommend.

I did a photo shoot with Chiara last week and she exceeded my expectations. Beautiful and friendly, she posed with confidence and hardly needed directing from me. The two hours seemed to go by quickly. One unusual thing about her was that whenever I thought of something she seemed to read my mind and assume the poses I thought of! I'm well pleased with the images. I highly recommend her

Had a wonderful shoot with Chiara, such a fantastic model and a lovely person. This was my first shoot with her and first shoot at the fabulous hacienda. We shot a few option making use of the natural light and different locations. Chiara has fantastic poses and really knows how to work the scene well. She bought a huge number of outfits and all the images are stunning.

I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.

Chiara is truly professional model in every aspect.I would highly recommend her for many reasons because she is very professional in communication, knows her work very well, has millions of ideas, fast and takes her career very seriously. You can see her 13 years of valuable experience in modelling career every moment in every pose, suggestions and outfits. You are beginner, hobbyist, experienced or pro, she will give best of her. I will be happy to work with her again.

You know its always going to be EPIC when shooting with Chiara, so a long awaited trip down to the hippy tent was a must. A wardrobe for any occasion, hair and makeup always on point and an excitement and willingness to get 'the shot'.

Lots of laughs, a great music playlist and the tent all came together to make for a great day and image to match in a very laid back relaxed atmosphere; if you want the perfect boho location then this is where its at. Obviously highly recommended to you all.

Thanks for a great day Chiara :D

I keep thinking of The Flying, a daredevil act of skill and precision performed above the heads of the crowd.

But this double act comes down to earth and avoids being over the heads of the audience.

A pleasure to meet. An education to watch and listen to. Each of them, both of them.

I've shot with Cheryl as a model, I've been impressed by the images she produces as a photographer, and now I've seen her as a formal trainer, and it is good.

Although we have only worked together on one other occasion Chiara and I have met fairly regularly in the four years since our first shoot.During this time I have become a big fan of the images she has produced with Simone both as a model and photographer her series of self portraits are simply outstanding.So when she mentioned to me that they were going to do another "Lighting Outside The Box" workshop at The Hacienda I jumped at the chance and booked myself a place.

The workshop itself was designed to make you think about different ways to light a model using everyday items as light modifiers.Got some great ideas on the day and looking forward to using them on future shoots.

Highly Recommended both as a model and photographer.

OMG, I can't put into words how amazing this girl is. Not enough I can say to give Chiara justice. Friendly, welcoming, and so helpfull. Booked till 8pm, but the light was so good after a storm we carried on for some beautiful images ( hope my editing does the girl justice), an unhurried and relaxed shoot along with some very informative tuition.

Recommended?....Hell yes

I have worked with Chiara on a few occasions now and if I could I would work with her every week she is awesome. I booked her for a shoot at the old rectory near Bridport I had worked there before so I knew I would get some great immages there with Chiara but with her help and advise I even surprised myself with some of the immages we achieved. Can't wait for our next shoot and she is definatly 100% recommended by me.

What can you say about Chiara that hasn't been said before...? Of course, she's wonderful; she's a fabulous model; she's great fun to be with; she's amazingly well prepared and her communication is second to none. But more than that, she's something very special.. she's a model that comes alive in front of the camera. She sparkles and radiates so that the camera has no choice but to capture something ethereal and magical.

If you've worked with her, you'll know all this. If you haven't then you owe it to your camera and to yourself to book her as soon as you can. Chiara is a magnificent, supernova. Book her today!

What an absolute pleasure shooting with such a knowledgeable and professional model like Chiara. We had fun and laughed a lot but I learnt so much. Chiara's

enthusiasm for modelling and photography was infectious and has given me new confidence in my photography. She is so friendly and not just beautiful on the outside but within as well. I will work with her again and recommend every photographer to do so.

Chiara Elisabetta - a woman full of joy, emotions and passion to express herself. Professional and absolutely beautiful. Without people like you we are just a camera owners. Can't say nothing more than a BIG BIG THANK YOU :) I highly recommend Chiara and will be great pleasure to work with her again!

Second Glance

Yess, Yess, YESS :)!

After absolutely ages I managed to fix a shoot with the uniquely wonderful CTE again

Chiara is an absolutely outstanding model; her looks and figure are perhaps obvious but her creativity and her genuine desire to create wonderful art through photography are just amazing

I've been lucky enough to work with CTE on a number of occasions over the years but how ever many it will never be enough

A model absolutely at the top of her game and the top of the league - if possible better than ever :)

I had the pleasure of attending the Lighting Outside the Box workshop with Chiara and Simone at the Hacienda. It was a great workshop that I would highly recommend to all.

Chiara posed so effortlessly and really understood the lighting we were using. She was an integral part of the workshop giving plenty of tips. As a model she was great, friendly and fun; I'd love to shoot her again and highly recommend her.

Steve Westwood

A superbly talented and creative model, and an absolute delight to work with.

She and Simone crafted and presented an excellent lighting workshop, and I'm looking forward to working with her again.

Thank you so much, Chiara.

Just did a lighting workshop Cheryl and Simone at the Hacienda which showed me several ways to light a model. Lots of ideas, allowed time to take shots so you got the understanding of what was being thought at that part of the workshop. Both Cheryl and Simone presented information in an easy manner so that you didn't get bogged down in details and had time to then put into practice.

Workshop didn't drag at all and the time went quickly. Lots of ideas I now want to try out on my future shoots. Thank you to both for a great workshop.

Attended a workshop today run by Chiara and Simone. Absolutely fantastic. Learnt a lot, really enjoyable 4 hours that flew by.

On the modelling front Chiara is stunningly beautiful and super friendly - it was a real pleasure to be shooting with her. Really approachable and made the shoot time really relaxed.

Thank you very much Chiara!

First, I need to declare a bias. Chiara and I have been friends for a very long time. Also whilst we have shot together many times, there is a random aspect to our work that is certainly closer to the 'decisive moment' than the "art nude"/fashion for which she is well know for...

So that out of the way, I can sum Chiara up in one word

"Terrific"

She moves with the grace of a Yogi, Is aware of shape , line and light and will probably get you laughing. She will certainly help you find images you never considered. I think as she winds down modelling to step behind the camera more, you should take the opportunity to work with her. Especially all you natural light shooters who want to move toward speed-light and/or studio stuff--

a consummate pro and lovely human to boot. Highly Recommend! and just Ask me about her location work: two thumbs up!
