References for ♥ Chiara Elisabetta

Allesandro B

It's difficult to leave a reference when everything seems to have been said already! I had the absolute pleasure of shooting at home in London with Chiara. She is the most creative, knowledgeable, inspirational and infectious person I have met here at PP. On top of that she is friendly, funny and puts you completely at ease.

I had some ideas of what I wanted to shoot and she took them, ran with them, worked hard to ensure they were achieved and then added an incredible level of knowledge and experience to elevate them way beyond my expectations.

I would love to work with Chiara again, we only had a couple of hours and they absolutely flew by. If you haven't worked with her then book her!!

Thanks again Chiara, see you soon.

What an amazing,fun,laughter filled day..... I was so lucky to be able to shoot Chiara as a 3 with Marla Pandora and Jon Downs....

Chiara is absolutely beautiful as a model and a person, perfect hostess for our day along with the awesome Simone who fed us all day with the most amazing food.

The whole day was so chilled and so relaxed and Chiara wowed us with her amazing look and poses, she new exactly what worked in the area we were in so we got the best end product and boy did we all get some amazing images.

We also had the pleasure of Marla Pandora modelling in the hottub with Chiara which was amazing and again the images are fantastic...

Chiara then took us to her fabulous beach location a 10 minute walk from her home and the endless shoot possibilities at this beach were really amazing...

The whole day was simply amazing and it was a real privilige to work with such a beautiful model as Chiara, not only an awesome model but a truly lovely lovely lady

I will definately be going back to work with this amazing lady

Thank you so much Chiara for being just awesome xx

Jon Downs

right .... where do I start on a reference for what was an amazing shoot with gorgeous Chiara?

well firstly i have to say that the shoot was organised by Marla Pandora (thanks!) and was set up as an opportunity for Marla, David Bloomfield and myself to work with one of the top models on purpleport.

I've wanted to shoot with this lovely lady for ages and was so happy when i finally got the chance ... i was not disappointed ... this lady delivers modelling talent big time!

Chiara and her illustrious partner in crime Simone made us all feel very welcome - i really do love these guys! It was a very chilled and productive day.

Chiara dealt with the fact that she had three photographers parallel shooting with ease - a true pro! The results are freakin' awesome - I'm so chuffed with what we achieved that day.

We shot around the house, garden, hot tub and on the beach which is a few minutes walk from where she lives. Everywhere we shot we got amazing pics. Chiara is top notch, the bee's knees, awesomesauce, so talented and beautiful.

Here are a few quotes from Chiara to commemorate the day:

- weird crust muncher

- it's dripping down my face

- do you want the groyne in

- it is quite sticky

sooooo .... to sum up .... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cannot recommend her enough!

thank you so much Chiara for an beautiful day in my life.

I had the immense pleasure of working for the first time with beautiful Chiara after a couple of previous attempts due my work commitments. It was one of the most rewarding time with a model with excellent results.

Thank you

Well, what can I say ? Her profile says that Chiara is "a toned, leggy, bendy, curly-haired, creative, unconventional, passionate, inquisitive, approachable, expressive bohemian with olive skin, dark eyes & chameleon qualities" so I'm going to agree 100% and recommend her wholeheartedly. Fantastic model, do yourself a favour and invite her in front of your camera !

Had my first (and hopefully one of many), shoot with Chiara yesterday.

Not only is she very pretty, crazy (in a good way) and funny she gives advice and help on how to take a good photograph.

Communication before and during the shoot was excellent. Had a nice selection of clothes.

Thanks again for a great day and shoot Chiara. Really enjoyed my self. Hope to work with you again.

Highly recommended

I had my very first 'all day' shoot a few weeks ago, and it was with the totally amazing and fabulous Chiara Elisabetta. It was a location/home shoot on the beach and at her house in beautiful Angmering, West Sussex. Amazingly Chiara did not complain, but agreed to a 4.30AM shoot, which of course I was really pleased about. The idea was to catch the sunrise and ‘golden hour’. The weather did not disappoint and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Coupled with an amazing scenery of the sea and beach (just a hop, skip and jump from her house) and wonderful sunlight, Chiara looked amazing and came to the shoot fresh, with bags of energy and ideas. It was truly an awesome shoot.

After a few hours shoot on the beach, we walked back to Chiara’s house where her partner Simone, had kindly prepared a wholesome breakfast for us. Not only that he had also baked bread, the smell of which left me salivating like anything. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! And Simone also fed me again in the afternoon. Thank you again Simone.

Straight after breakfast we were back shooting. This time in the garden. We had so many sets to choose from. I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Chiara was totally amazing throughout the shoot and had variety of poses that seemed so natural. Her professionalism was top rate and communication brilliant! She went the extra mile to make sure I got the best from the day, and made the experience fun and enjoyable while doing so. I came away with a treasure trove of images and memories that remain strong in my mind, even though it has been a several weeks since the shoot. Do I need to say I’m still on a high.

Chiara’s professionalism clearly exemplified someone with loads of experience in the photography industry, and her wallrobe was as extensive as her ideas and creativity. Above all, she has such a wonderful personality which made it so easy to build rapport. I have been privileged to have worked with some really wonderful models and Chiara has now been added to that list.

Photographers of all levels will be happy to know Chiara comes highly recommended. And I am confident that they will not be disappointed. Just be prepared to be blown away by her awesomeness.

Thank you Chiara, and I look forward to working with you again pretty soon!

Another shoot at Chiara's place - with her teepee, back garden, hot-tub and the added bonus of Ms Natural Happy Girl :)

Chiara was fantastic of course, her styling skills even enabled her to magic an outdoor set from "a few bits and pieces" min-shoot!

If you shoot with Chiara you're guaranteed fantastic photos - so book her whenever you get the chance!

I have worked with Chiara on a few occasions now and if I could I wqould work with her every week she is awesome. I booked her for a shoot at the old rectory near Bridport I had weorked 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.

Despite the heat of the night Chiara was unwavering in her input, fun all the way with lots of feedback and collaborative idea's

Chiara knew how to get the best shots and although has my life difficult in trying to pick out my best ten her complexion and makeup was outstanding nearly every shot is virtually as it left the camera with very little post editing

Beautiful, intelligent friendly and a Joy to work with

Chiara is highly recommended. A very professional and joyful model. Absolutely fantastic shoot this evening at Fareham Studio. A pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Chiara at a group event at Fareham Studio and despite the heat in the studio she was a total professional. Chiara is great to work with, full of ideas and advice. I total recommend her and cannot wait to work with her again.

i absolutely love shooting with Cheryl. We had a a second shoot at factory studio for half a day. What a great way to spend an afternoon. Cheryl had load of input and ideas on the shoot. The only time she stopped posing was when i was knackered from clicking.

Again another memory card full of great images. Hopefully we'll shoot again soon.

Imaginary Revolutionary

To start from the very beginning, I have been aware of Chiara for all the time I’ve been a PP member, I’ve seen the pictures taken of her, and by her and I’ve seen her contributions to the forums and to be quite honest, I didn’t think I would like her. I had managed to get it into my head that she would be aloof and with her living at the opposite end of the country to me the point was largely moot anyway.

Things changed when I bumped into her at the photography show at the NEC earlier this year. My mouth had opened before my brain had engaged and I blathered something along the lines of ‘oooh I recognise you from PP’ her reply was genuinely gracious and friendly and I knew after our 5 minute chat that I would arrange a shoot with her the first opportunity I got.

Well that day was yesterday and we had an awesome shoot out in The Regent’s Park. From the moment we set off, it was a fun and very relaxed affair with Chiara fully decoding my attempts at direction and using her knowledge of light direction and manipulation to make sure the poses achieved the desired result.

Apologies for this being the longest reference in the history of PP but I cannot stress how amazing Chiara is succinctly enough - if you get the chance, book her!

Oh my what fun!

I had a fabulous first shoot with Chiara yesterday - it was as much a lighting tutorial with her partner Si (also fabulously talented and generous with his time). It was a chance to do something completely different and we achieved that in spades. Even in two hours I've a lot to take in and mentally digest.

Recommended happily and heartily.

I had a fantastic shoot with Chiara at Maan studios. I had initially booked her for 4 hours, but I was having such a great time working with such a creative model, I extended the shoot an additional hour. She is a chameleon. I got a large variety of very high quality images, I'm going to have a tough time selecting a few for my portfolio.

I plan to book another shoot with her in the near future - I would consider that a recommendation!

Senart

Just finished a shoot with Chiara and what a wonderful experience with an amazingly beautiful model and a wonderful person. Full of energy, always willing to try out different things to create new images. Her energy rubs on to the photographer and compels you to go that extra bit to come up with inspirational ideas. I will highly recommend Chiara to any photographer who is looking for quality work. And I personally look forward to work with her in near future.

I worked with the gorgeous Chiara recently at The Old Rectory alongside the lovely AndyM recently and had such a great time!

It was quite a short notice shoot and I am so glad I was available to work with two such lovely people!!

The Old Rectory was such a stunning location to shoot in, with so many amazing rooms to shoot from! It had been a year or so since I had last worked with Cheryl and it was so lovely to catch up!

Everytime I meet up with her I am blown away by her beauty, her photographic knowledge and creativity. For someone so talented and knowledgeable in this industry she is very approachable and humble which is really admirable.

Last time I worked with her I was the model (and Cheryl the photographer), so it was so lovely to work alongside her on a shoot- she is such an amazing model, with a stunning figure and eyes you just get lost in! The shots looked gorgeous- if you get the chance to work with this wonderful lady please take it, she nails every shot!

Highly recommended and really hope to see you soon! Helen x
