Had an amazing shoot with Chiara at her Streatham apartment. Great pre-comms meant she was fully onboard with the theme we were shooting to. Fantastic input to the images we created on the day.

Brilliant model - highly recommended - love to work with again :-)

Cheers!

I'm not sure I can say anything in this review that other photographers haven't already done so in far more eloquent terms than I can possibly manage.

Chiara's portfolio speaks for itself - stunning and beautiful images with hugely talented photographers. I felt rather like I didn't deserve to shoot with her - that I'd be laughed away. I needn't have worried.

Chiara is kind, experienced, hugely knowledgeable ( from both sides of the camera) and she seems to know exactly what you want from the shot before you do, moving effortlessly from pose to pose. Above all else, she's hilarious, down to Earth and from my perspective, perfect for someone fairly new to portrait photography to work with.

Highly recommended! :-)

Booked for just 2 very short hours, flew by in the blink of an eye. Chiara was fantastic, got involved and was full of enthusiasm. Looked great and was lovely and easy to work with. Brilliant.

After the monstrous success of our first shoot this second one with Chiara was booked pretty quickly.

As per usual Chiara was super prepared for our 2 hour location shoot. We had a huge amount of fun and got more than imagined done in our short two hour slot.

Chiara is a wonderful creative in many respects of the word and always adds exciting angles to any shoot with a vast wardrobe and many fab looks, super knowledgable on both sides of the camera and has a good eye for lighting too - what more could you ask for in a model!

Further shoots are already in the pipeline which speaks for itself, all I can say is a huge thanks to Chiara for your time once again and playing a major part in the creation of some absolute gems of images. It was an absolute blast and I can't wait to work together again very soon.

I had tremendous fun shooting with this inspiring model. We had been discussing the possibility of shooting together for a while but dates never quite worked out for us. In the end, this came together quite quickly. Communication was excellent pre-shoot and we were able to plan a number of ideas and themes for a productive shoot. On the shoot itself we were able to adapt and take advantage of the situations that were available to us.

Chiara brought with her everything I had asked about and more. We shot many different looks and I rather lost track of her hair which grew shorter and longer several times and even changed colour at one point. It is such a great thing to work with someone who has this boundless enthusiasm for trying different things and the results will make it very difficult to choose between some fantastic shots.

Thanks for such a great, fun shoot and hopefully we can do it all again very soon. Highly recommended.

I'm going to duck the challenge of saying something nice that hasn't already been said, and just record it is all true.

Chiara came to a couple of the pub meets that happen in Exeter, while touring nearby and was interesting, and I thought, as one almost[1] inevitably would, I'd like to photograph her. Then put up a casting for a couple of spare hours before getting ready to go home. I had a couple of spare hours... So we winged it. Huge help. Great model. Calm and fun. For me much of this was a technical exercise in a variant of photography I'd not tried before, and the exercise was a success. The images range from lovely to having progressed so that I know what to work on to realise my intentions - and not unlovely.

TL;DR: Much as described elsewhere - A1

[1] nowt so queer as folk, there'll be someone who doesn't I suppose.

I recently had the great pleasure of working with Chiara. Pre shoot communications were excellent, on arrival at a fellow photographer's house for the shoot Chiara was all ready to go, full of enthusiasm and more than helpful setting up our shoot from outfits to ideas.

This lady is very professional and a dream to work with, oozes experience and very creative in her own right. We had a somewhat crazy couple of hours and produced many superb images both indoors and out thanks to sunshine and blue sky! Some images will be here in my PP portfolio very shortly.

In brief Chiara is a model not to be missed if available in your area on one of her tours or indeed you arrange a specific shoot, I cannot recommend her highly enough, a true professional with plenty of charm and a breeze to work with.

Thanks so much Chiara for our first shoot and very much looking forward to the next (already booked)!! ;)

I had the absolute pleasure of spending a wonderful day shooting with Chiara yesterday, which has left me with a profound sense of well being. Within a very short time of meeting her, it felt like we'd known each other for years.

Her portfolio is packed full of amazing, aspirational images that capture her serene, sensual essence. But off camera, her personality is so different; she is a very warm hearted, genuine human being with a terrific sense of fun; beautifully bonkers! We'd go from sharp concentration to get a shot one minute to being doubled up with laughter the next. (Quote of the day: ...."I'm not really a white witch but I do have my own cauldron!")

Chiara's modelling embodies elements of acting and she is able to draw on a myriad of different characters; an artistic chameleon changing and reacting according to the concept, setting and atmosphere. She has a keen eye for what works visually and is acutely aware of light, which means that she contributes much more beyond her ability to model.

Bursting with creative energy, she brings a refreshingly different perspective on the art of model photography and indeed on life in general. Chiara has a tangible aura of positivity that makes her a joy to work with. A unique and beautiful soul!

Chiara and I first started talking about working together around 5 months ago, when she sent me a lovely message thanking me for adding her to my WLTWW list. With my busy schedule at that point she had no issues at all with booking a shoot a few months away, which I greatly appreciated her doing. Pre-shoot communication was always regular, and Chiara always showed great enthusiasm and interest about the ideas and suggestions I threw at her. Our shoot day arrived, and I can honestly say that she is one of the most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. She is extremely easy to get along with, has an infectious personality, looks amazing, gives 1,000,000% to the shoot and is also extremely funny too. You can easily tell that Chiara enjoys what she does, so much so that you'll be counting the days until your next shoot with her...like I am!

Fabulous shoot with Chiara today! She was very accommodating, squeezing into all the outfits I bought and a fab face for applying makeup! Lots of fun with plenty of ideas and creative input! Thanks!

The Mad Hatter

One seriously talented, seriously beautiful, seriously fun model. Yes, her communications were excellent, she was on time and all that stuff.... would I shoot with her again? Without a doubt. Oh so thoroughly recommended, thank you for a really great shoot Chiara!

So i finally got to work with Chiara a couple of weeks ago, and truth be told, i am only just back down from cloud 9 and with feet back on the ground ! it wasnt just the awesome chocolate cake , it was the simple truth that this lady IS awesome !

I would never claim to be a brilliant pro photographer, but working with Chiara made me feel so ; Yes , stunningly beautiful, professional and experienced, but far more importantly..fun, creative,slightly mad, passionate and sooooooooooo inspiring ! she made me think, learn, blush and explore and i loved every moment!!

i urge everyone to work with this lady at least once, so you understand my words. the reality is that she is addictive, and i intend to make a chocolate cake to get her back !!! Thanx for a fab day ! x

Chiara, the ultimate professional and inspirational model, arrived with a suitcase full of interesting outfits and accessories and a head full of styling ideas. She lives up to everything that has been said about her. The photo-session was a delight due to her enthusiasm and engaging personality.

I can't wait to work with her again.

Via a mutual friend, I finally, after seven years, got to point my camera at Chiara, albeit on the last evening of a five night stay which was heavily influenced by alcohol and silliness, the proof of which is floating around on Facebook, much to my embarrassment.

As I said, it was a long time coming, but I knew I was in for a treat, photographically speaking :) Actually, I did take a couple of snaps early in the week, one of which, Chiara edited herself and it has proved rather popular. I must emphasise, the editing is what makes it, nought to do with me, I was incompetently trying to find the angle the reflections worked and I fluked one, fortunately. However, being the photographer, I get half the credit :)

I have a large dining table and when it isn't covered in Collies, I usually persuade models to spread themselves across it in a variety of poses, usually my cheesy glamour style, but Chiara, being somewhat bossy, insisted on doing her thing. Well, she did OK, I suppose, considering it resulted in one of the sexiest portraits I have seen. It's all about the hair, WOW, I love big hair and what her does with her hair is bloody awesome. Obviously there is more to it than just the hair, but it does make ALL the difference.

I had a fantastic week, entertaining, cooking, laughing, crying laughing, playing in the garden, getting drunk, talking about all sorts, talking about you lot :)

However, there is one more thing to say; I love my dogs, I mean, I REALLY love my dogs, they are my life and they have given their 100% approval of Chiara. See, she's a dog lover too and she was awesome with them. The last night, after polishing my dining table with her fabulous rear end, Chiara spent the entire evening on the table with my boys. We had, from a fuzzy memory, dauphinoise potatoes with chicken stuffed with cheese and pesto sauce, along with asparagus, plus booze, lots of booze. So, if for no other reason, Chiara gets a huge vote from me for loving my dogs, but everything else was awesome too, the big hair, that body, my god, what a body and her vast experience and ability.

I am rather hoping a return visit isn't too far away. Thank you :)

I did a shoot with Chiara many, many years ago and it was great to see her again.

I arranged this shoot very last minute,Chiara turned up with a great selection of clothes and lingerie and is an absolute natural at posing.

She has good experience of lighting too which always makes for an interesting shoot.

I've not done art nude before an Chiara has so much experience it was a sheer delight.

She was not worried about getting water on her for some of the water droplet shots.

We had a 3 hour shoot and I can say that I covered everything that was on my shoot list.

Just going through the photos now ... very please indeed.

Would not hesitate to recommend.

For those of us who are new to or lack confidence in model photography... please don't let Chiara's extensive modelling experience, exceptional portfolio and stunningly good looks make you shy away from working with her.

Chiara is so down to Earth and very patient, often giving me little photography tips here and there. Within just a few moments of working with her, I started to feel totally at ease.

Chiara is incredibly beautiful - she looks exactly like she does in her portfolio - with very clear skin and an excellent physique. Chiara flows from pose to pose, making it almost too easy for me!

Highly recommended and I hope I'll get the chance to work with her again soon.

Thanks again Chiara!

I had the absolute privilege to work alongside Chiara during a hippy-style shoot with Simon Fairclough. The shoot was immensely fun from start to finish.

Chiara is stunningly beautiful, has an amazing figure, funny and completely dedicated to her art. Her passion for modelling is inspiring!

She's one of the loveliest of people you could ever wish to meet and I do hope I get the opportunity to work with her again soon!

Thank you for a lovely shoot! xxx

Well, I have been waiting ages to shoot with this beautiful young lady but it was my diary that was the blocker not Chiara's. Having finally agreed a date, pre shoot communications were great and we agreed a mix of outdoor and indoor locations and styles.

Chiara has an endless wardrobe of clothes to style and looked immaculate when I arrived. I was very fortunate to be able to shot her in a beautiful new ballgown that she was wearing on my shoot for the first time.

She poses effortlessly and create such amazing images, it was just such a pleasure to shoot with her. I just need to find the time to edit the images as almost all of them are up for selection.

Such a fantastic day, thank you Chiara and I hope I can get to shoot with you again in the not too distant future.

Recommended - hell yeh 100% :)

OK IT'S ALL BEEN SAID BUT IT'S REALLY TRUE!

Chiara really is someone very special in that here is a super intelligent, beautiful inside and outside, amazing lady.

Her experience and professionalism is quite exceptional. As I am a relative novice, her tutoring and advice made our shoot truly memorable.

We shot in her flat, notwithstanding it's size, provided so many opportunities to deliver many differing sets of great images.

We then walked into a sunny Tooting Common, where again this daring lady, totally at ease with her body, breezed through another multitude of fantastic poses which again provided my new 24-70 f2.8 with a tremendous steep learning curve! RESULTS QUITE STUNNING,

I guess you've concluded that I am smitten and will definitely return for more brilliant conversation, music and of course fab photography!

Thanks beautiful lady.
