I shot with Chiara on her casting call for the last of the caravan - and all I can say is that if you’ve not done this then boy you have MISSED OUT!!! She does the whole boho hippie thing amazingly and I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat all the way home - and then again when I was chimping at the back of the camera!

Chiara is obviously an accomplished model - a few hundred referrals testify - but I don’t think they sufficiently give over her warmness and ability to just make you a better photographer, certainly I was getting better images than I hoped for!

Comms pre-shoot first rate, poses effortlessly, direction with poise and grace. What more to say?

I had the most wonderful of evening shoots with Chiara at her home caravan studio - if you've missed out on this then all I can say is "sorry - you missed a great one"!

Chiara is super friendly, chatty, stunningly beautiful, brilliant hostess and all the amazing qualities one could possibly hope for in a model - she understands light (better than I do tbh!) and though was happy to go with the flow made a couple of suggestions for redos etc that definitely made me a better photographer! (I'm very out of my comfort zone shooting natural light - but I struggle to see it looking back at the images).

All in all 100% - definitely try to get a shoot in with her!

This was my first shoot for a 1-2-1 session with a model and breaking into artistic nudes to boot. Chiara quickly made me feel at ease. She was very relaxed, easy to direct and talk to. Her garden and caravan were perfect for the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and would love to shoot with her again.

I don't really know where to begin...

This shoot was arranged at very very short notice, Chiara was super friendly and chatty even at the pre comms stage...A breath of fresh air in fact..!

I had almost cancelled on the day due to heavy rain and thunder, but Chiara assured me it was going to brighten up at my arrival time of 3pm..

Brighten up it did.. in every possible way, this turned out to be the most amazing, exciting, interesting, pleasurable shoot to date..

Chiara has created a photographers paradise with her back drops /settings in the garden but last but not least her truly amazing vintage inspired caravan heaven... this is truly incredible..!!

From the moment we started shooting everything was just so professional, Chiara has the most beautiful outfits and with her stunning looks every shot was just simply amazing.

I have never felt so relaxed at a shoot, she is so friendly with such a fantastic attitude, she poses effortlessly and is on hand to give her professional help if needed.. which I was so grateful for.

The 4 hours whizzed past, but still there was more to photograph and am already organising another meeting with this super talented model.

My only complaint is I did not work with her before now...my loss

Truly outstanding in every way... I can not wait to edit and post some images..!!

Chiara, Thankyou so much for a very memorable day..

Chiara and I may have set a record for the longest time from talking about a shoot to actually doing it - just under 7 years from first PP message to actually shooting. Every time we tried to arrange something, things would conspire against us. Finally we got there, and I'm kicking myself for taking so long. The woman is amazing. As far as looks, her port speaks for itself, and ditto knowing what to do in front of the camera. But what the pictures don't tell you is the pleasure she is work with, brilliant rapport, so that after 10 minutes anyone would think we'd working together for years, they don't tell you the friendly welcome, and only hint at how much effort she's put in making spaces to shoot. If you're hesitating about booking her, don't! shoot her while you can!

Worked with Chiara yesterday in Angmering. Pre shoot comms were excellent, very clear so we both knew what we were trying to achieve.

Chiara is an excellent model and a lovely person. She was very generous with her time, her ideas and contribution, as well as comments on the results we were getting.

We got some fantastic images and so I am absolutely delighted with what we achieved - good team work.

😘

I could kick myself! I've been aware of Chiara since her Purestorm days of modelling, so finally after all these years, having regained some sanity, I booked her! Her comms are brilliant, she even made a phone call. How often does that happen?

And it's all true! Chiara is everything you could ever ask for, beautiful, funny, talented, buzzing with ideas and fully engaged in the shoot. Her garden offers a diverse range of "sets" and we were only a few minutes away from a private beach to finish off the shoot. No qualms or quibbles as Chiara happily posed to adventurous levels despite a few random member of the public being present :)

To top it off, despite the stifling temperatures elsewhere in the UK we were blessed with a sensible 70 degrees and soft even light for the duration of the 4 hour shoot. Just the 600+ images to edit then.

My advice, book her whilst she is still in the UK!

What can I say about Chiara that hasn't been said before? She is a skilled, creative and talented model and a delight to work with. Everything from pre-shoot comms to styling, hair, and makeup is impeccable, and she is a total professional and great fun to work with. I have several hundred great images and and am finding it difficult to pick the ones I like best as every one is an absolute gem. If you haven't worked with her you really should.

Thank you again for an amazing shoot.

I had the fantastic opportunity to work with Chiara during her stay at Tewkesbury for the Boudoir theme. I enjoyed to work with her, very talented, amazing and professional person.

I am always drive myself to deliver the best possible photos and when I am working with personality like Chiara it seems to be effortless.

Thank you very much and I hope to work again with you in the future.

Working with Chiara is amazing, so capable, experienced, talented and creative and I'm astounded that we have not worked together before now. Shooting at f/8 studio we had a really productive 4 hours working to art-nude. Chiara flows effortlessly from pose to pose and if not happy with one in particular will repeat it till perfection is achieved.

It's wonderful also to meet a model who thought's on many topics align with your own which stimulates both of you into long and interesting discussions. Could easily have spent the whole time simply exploring a variety of topics.

An amazing model who I hope to work with again before too long and who I wholeheartedly recommend.

Thank you Chiara.

Photography is meant to be fun and what fun I had working with Chiara at Rob Golding’s place near Tewkesbury. We hit it off from the start with some great conversation and not a little leg pulling. Chiara’s pre-communication was great so we had planned the shoot in some detail. I wanted to experiment with some low light photography, where her knowledge and experience were invaluable, and she persuaded me to shoot in some very bright sunlight – collaboration at its best!

Chiara is the consummate professional; she posed effortlessly, took an interest in the back of the camera, adjusted her poses when necessary, offered constructive suggestions and took direction when offered. Nothing was too much trouble for her. With such a model, it’s not surprising that together we created some gorgeous images.

This was a shoot a long time in the making, and it was everything I hoped for and more! From the very first moment to the end of a chilled session reviewing the images we'd made, a perfect day.

Chiara is SO much more than a fabulous model (and a lovely host)... she is a true creative spirit and a collaborator who is very generous with her talents. From my rather vague shoot plan, a myriad of inspirational ideas came forth and my only regret is that we didn't have time to shoot every one of them!

In front of the camera, whether she was "flying" on the top of a stepladder or strutting around on the kitchen cabinets(!), Chiara's fabulous and imaginative posing had me grinning like a loon as we captured one amazing image after another, inspiring us both to go further and further creatively.

I could write so much more, but suffice to say that Chiara is at the top of her game, and is an absolute pleasure to work with and to spend time with. Very, very highly recommended!

I've been waiting for an opportunity to shoot with this lovely lady for several years now, having met previously, whilst Chiara was working in Birmingham. I booked a midweek day off from work and travelled to her beautiful home location near Tewkesbury. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed from the start, and Chiara made me feel incredibly welcome. Strawberries and other fruit seemed to be on tap which went down extremely well on a gorgeous summer day. Chiara is a turbo charged creative, and the ideas just flowed. I'd written a detailed shoot plan, but she was able to take each set to the next level. I think that Chiara's posing speaks for itself in her beautiful images. She is a total perfectionist, wanting to reshoot shots that weren't quite right, or she'd thought of a way to improve, or even had another idea! Chiara is a talented and knowledgeable photographer and I seized the opportunity to listen to what she had to say. She took me out of my comfort zone, and encouraged me to expose to the right a bit more. This added detail to the model in the images, without blowing out any highlights (despite my fears!). Photography is my passion, and Chiara made the morning a wonderful experience. I recommend that anyone who has the opportunity, embraces the chance to shoot with this amazing model and photographer, before she relocates overseas in the autumn. Thank-you Chiara, I wish you every success in your new venture.

Chiara's a model I'd go a long way to work with, and so should you.

So, I did, again.

Besides, I was fascinated to see the caravan and other sets she's constructed and styled there.

Chiara's a stylist I'd go a long way ...etc

Among the challenges, apart from simply doing one's best work, is finding an idea that hasn't been done with her before, or finding a way to go one better on an idea previously used. (And most of them have, that's the nature of art, and time).

So, I hauled a few ideas out of the pile, we collaboratively discared some of them and embellished a couple, mixed them up and I am very pleased.

And apart from being autonomous lightstand, for which thanks, Simone gave me a loaf. Which is bread worth going a long way for.

Pictures to follow.

Had a really fun shoot with Chiara in Tewkesbury on Wednesday.

Chiara is always wonderful to work with, and the time just flies by.

We seem to have similar approaches to the creative image and we always get some great pictures. Mostly portraits which is my favourite.

Chiara has a wonderful disposition and a love of what she does.

I will definitely shoot with her again, a complete joy to work with.

My first shoot with Chiara was a most enjoyable experience. She was happy to accommodate my ideas, and made several helpful suggestions. Chiara is very easy to get on with and was happy to have the furniture rearranged to suit different shots. I am hoping to have another shoot with her before she decamps to Bali and can definitely recommend her highly.

Barb Lander

What a fantastic photo shoot.

Communications leading up to the shoot were great.

On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome. As the shoot progressed, ideas just kept flowing.

Chiara's creativity is astounding and her ability to create amazing scenes and poses is unrivaled. She had an excellent understanding of modeling as well as photography.

We couldn't have asked for more.

Hopefully we can arrange another shoot before she head's to Bali.

Thank you

Went to Tewksbury for the first shoot with the happy creative Chiara.

What an enjoyable and productive day it was. The time flew by as we moved from setting to setting.

Chiara is faultless in here pursuit of excellence and visual creativity.

Every superlative has already been used to describe this talented individual.

Highly recommended by me.

Thanks Chiara

I had my first shoot with Chiara yesterday. It was great. She was easy and fun to work with. She struck a perfect balance between assisting and suggesting but without taking over the shoot. Her apartment is great for shooting, large and uncluttered with nice natural light.

Catch her before she disappears off to the Far East, you won't regret it.

I had another fantastic remote session with Chiara at a Gloucestershire location. We we tried fashion themed boudoir and achieved some fantastic motion images I didn’t think would be possible remotely with poor available light. Communication was excellent. Highly recommended.
