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!

It was a pleasure working with Chiara Elisabetta yesterday, It was what a photo-shoot should be, lots of banter and quality photographs where produced.

Fantastic model great person, looking forward to working with Chiara Elisabetta again. x

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.

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!

Shooting with Cheryl at The Hacienda was a dream line up so I was hugely looking forward to this shoot - and it totally lived up to expectations. Cheryl has a warm heart and, as an experienced model, photographer and retoucher, can offer you advice if you need it (which I did) and with her track record it goes without saying she delivers absolutely - this is an experience to be cherished and remembered for a long time - long may you spread this joy

I’ve been admiring the work of Chiara for quite a while and by chance I was able to book a shoot with her at the Hacienda at quite short notice.

She is just an amazing model to shoot with.... first of all it’s like you’ve known her for ages, so approachable, then came the creative ideas with a case full of outfits and the many opportunities at the Hacienda. Her willingness to help a relative newbie was much appreciated.

Thanks so much for a really creative day and for so many laughs.

You are bonkers in the nicest possible sense. Can’t wait to work with you again.

100% recommendation

Shooting with Chiara was everything I had expected - fun, creative, artistic and genuinely rewarding. I had known of her and her work for years, but somehow we'd never managed to be in the same place at the same time and then, *click*

There is not a lot I can say that has not been said before, but I would nonetheless like to add my voice to the chorus of photographers who rightly sing her praises - if you have not worked with her yet, what are you waiting for? A splendid person, a fabulous model and a talented collaborator - I could not be more happy with the results, and the journey was fun too :-)

Had my second shoot with the very cool Cheryl as part of a double photographer shoot with the awesome out the box.

Ohhhhhhh my God Cheryl is just an amazing model to shoot with....creative,fun,stylish,talented and just flipping totally cool are just some of the ways to describe this lady.

Cheryl put a casting out for a shoot at her place and we were happy to jump at the chance to shoot again.

The ideas and outfits just flowed, we had the most amazing shoot and ended up with a camera full of awesome images

Once again Simone made sure that we didn't go hungry during the shoot....thanks so much Simone

Cheryl thank you so much for an amazing shoot a really creative day and for so many laughs and most of all for being such an amazing model

I have been admiring the work of super talented Chiara Elisabetta for quite a while and by chance I was able to book a shoot with her at the Hacienda at quite short notice.

I have to admit I was feeling a little apprehensive to be working with such a talented person and also a very accomplished photographer as well.

NO need to have worried as I was welcomed by Sean as always and Chaira and was soon chatting over a nice cup of tea.

As soon as we started shooting I knew we were going to have a great shoot as we seemed on the same wavelength and ideas were flowing one after another.

Unfortunately time goes by so quick when you are having fun and taking great pictures and now I am looking forward to our next shoot sometime soon.

More than highly recommended

I shot with Ciara in Hacienda in Iulia David retouching workshop. She has been amazing and exceptional throughout the shoot. Always wanting to push herself so that we get that amazing shot. I would definitely want to shoot with her again. Highly recommended.

I attended a "lighting outside the box" workshop run by Chiara & Simone at the Hacienda, & we were lucky enough to have Cheryl herself as our model.

We've worked together in the past, & I don't think I've ever stopped singing her praises, it's getting embarrassing. From the 300 & odd references she already has, you know what Cheryl brings to the table. A wealth of modelling experience, great photographic knowledge, plus a friendly & funny personality. She looks ok in a good light too. ;) Honestly, it's difficult to take a bad photo of her, despite my best efforts.

You'll see there are rumours that she may be cutting down on her modelling. If that becomes fact, she'll be a great loss to the modelling world, but I know from experience her retouching work will still be astounding.

Do yourself a favour, if you get a chance to work with her either side of the camera, grab it, you won't regret it.

My third shoot with this amazing woman. I love shooting with Chiara as i know the images will be nothing less than spectacular and she is extremely contentions that i get the images i'm after.

Besides being an awesome model Chiara is totally awesome at styling, working of my mood board she styles herself with great outfits and accessories. Not stopping there she helped with set design and light help too.

Its a total blast shooting together and i get a buzz bouncing ideas off her. We had loads of laughs and overall, she's an absolute delight to work with.

Would i work with her again? Already booked and i cant wait.

First shoot with Cheryl and I hope not the last. Cheryl is one of those models you just point the camera at and it just loves her look. Literally the first shot out of the camera and we were on a roll. Cheryl poses with grace, style and a bit of cheekiness too. We took our time to get the best images we could in the time and the creative process was great.

Between setups, we looked over the pictures and talked about the pictures, processing etc and it was great to see and hear Cheryl's thoughts about the pictures. Thanks to her for also suggesting a beauty dish for the last set as the light got darker and she went above and beyond to help get the shot.

Thanks again for an awesome shoot and I'd highly recommend Cheryl and hope I can shoot with her again in the future.
