I grabbed the chance of a last minute remote shoot with Cheryl.

Her work precedes her, so it was a no-brainer.

Cheryl has sets, clothing, styling and with her creativity it is a winning combo.

Such a professional, we collaborated extremely well.

Her outside jewels of sets have great natural light, weather permitting.

Cheryl has a presence in front of the camera that is special I believe, in one series providing a whole range of different looks and emotions.

If given the opportunity I would work with Cheryl again, I can highly recommend her.

I've lost count of the number of times I've shot with Cheryl, probably approaching a couple of dozen times now, the latest being last week. I'm updating my reference because as well as being a phenomenal model, Cheryl is also a fantastic stylist, as anyone who's shot with her at one of her styled events will attest. For this shoot, I asked Cheryl to bring along some fabrics to our shoot which was taking place in a beiger-than beige hotel room. I wanted to experiment with the room to see if we could get us images that didn't look like a posh Travelodge. Sure enough, as well as bringing a case full of outfits, reams of fabric were soon spilling from her case, allowing us to get images that look amazing. Yet again, I couldn't be happier with the results. I'd recommend any photographer who gets the chance to shoot with Cheryl to do so at the earliest possible opportunity!

One of my last shoots before this pestilence descended was with Chiara so it seems only fitting that one of my first this year should also be with her. Chiara is, as ever, an awesome force of nature. That she is a beautiful and talented model goes almost without saying. But beyond that she has boundless enthusiasm and is a creative stylist and a fantastic photographer in her own right. Once again, working and collaborating with her produced some amazing and original images. And, as if all that wasn't enough, Chiara is a genuinely lovely human being and it's always great fun spending time in her company.

Recommended? Hell yes.

Creativity Hub Events

Cheryl was an absolute star stepping in last minute at our Daydream Believers event and totally rocked being a crazy cukoo in a green feather dress! She literally pulled of the vision I had in my head and then some with awesome colourful eye makeup and feathers upon feathers! I honestly couldn’t be happier, thank you! Cheryl is a true artist and her eye for styling and set design is incredible and she was a massive help over the weekend.

She has a lovely warm energy and true raw talent that deserves to be noticed and I am so excited for her creative journey.

You are awesome and you deserve everything coming your way ♥

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

The Creativity Hub held a weekend event and I was lucky enough to be on the Saturday's event. The models were Emsy, Emily Anderson, Olivia Harriett, Chiara Elisabetta (who was also one of the stylists), Naomi and Pippa. Fabulous day with some awesome posing from each model who were very creative in their style. We got some great results and I feel lucky to have been able to join in on this well organised event. Many thanks ladies, best wishes Jann

Well what can I say? I genuinely believe Chiara has sold her soul to the devil. It’s the only logical explanation! I mean how Chiara is that damn good at, well, everything it’s got to be that right? This lovely lady is nothing short of incredible. We had an absolute riot working together and the images are fabulous. I can’t thank you enough and I’m already looking forward to the next time! Would I recommend Chiara? Oh hell yes I would! (Just watch out for the coffee!)

What a joy, Chiara is to work with, a complete joy. Warm personality and extremely friendly.

Added to that a great model. We got some really good images in which the time just flew by.

It would be nearly impossible to take a bad picture of her, as she is so beautiful.

I will look forward to shooting with her again.

Have worked with Chiara a few times now and every time we shoot we have an absolute amazing time. She's very friendly, has a great personality and of course Chiara is such a wonderful model. The pre-comm was totally spot on and she arrived with all the right clothes and outfits for the shoot, and many amazing images were created. I would highly recommend her to any photographer, and I do look forward to the next time me and Chiara work together again.

I had the utter pleasure yesterday to work with Chiara. She put me at ease and was a great conversationalist with some amazing ideas during our shoot. I would highly recommend working with her and I would love to do so again in the future.

Yesterday I had my second shoot with Chiara. She was kind enough to let me use her garden which she has decorated with furniture. She had lots of different outfits. She didn't need direction from me. The images I got are amazing. In the last hour of the shoot we went to the beach. I had a lovely time and hope to see her again.

Had my first photoshoot with Chiara Elisabetta and I wasn’t disappointed it might have been a remote shoot but I may as well have been there she is the most amazing person to work with,we had a few sets which she creates in the garden of her house and they just look fabulous.

As with all the images on her portfolio you will get some amazing images can’t wait to hopefully work in person with her. We had lots of fun creating images and lots of laughter highly recommended by me.

What can I possibly say about the remote shoot I had with Chiara this morning, other than it was all I hoped for and more besides. I have had Chiara in mind for a shoot for a number of years, but distance and time always made it seem impossible. Then the pandemic hit and the concept of remote shooting started to make headway, and my chance arrived, so I jumped at it.

Chiara is every bit the professional model I knew she would be, but I never expected her to be so fun, friendly and chatty, which made the shoot a complete joy. Allied to that, her set design skills added an awesome theatricality to the images we created that I doubt I will ever be able to match without her. And obviously, above all else, she is absolutely stunning both on the outside, and within.

Thank you so much for making today so amazing. I cant wait to show everyone what we created today.

I had my first remote shoot with Chiara yesterday and was entirely blown away for so many reasons. Her stunning modelling, her phenomenal sets and her wonderful personality are all priceless and made for a fantastic shoot. I've loved her work almost since I started on Purple Port a year ago and finally took the plunge and booked her.

It's been clear to me that her sets were something else, she works so hard continually building and updating them - her photos and bio speak for themselves. Her preshoot coms were superb and we bounced a few ideas around but when we started I was enchanted with what she had prepared. The tech was great and she walked me through it quickly (in spite of my clutziness than seems to haunt me on my first shoots) She has a charming and endearing personality which put me at ease straight away and we laughed and chatted all the way through the shoot. We shot in her caravan set mainly, rain being a little restriction there but honestly it didn't matter a bit because we still achieved some really beautiful images there.

She sent me the photos through straight away and I absolutely love them to bits. shooting with Chiara has been an absolute delight from start to finish and we're already planning future shoots for which I am absolutely looking forward to and I really cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you Chiara for an absolutely amazing shoot.

I shot with Chiara a few years ago and then became daunted by her incredible ability both as a model and as a photographer.

However, when I saw she was doing remote shoots I decided to cast care aside and ask her for a shoot and she agreed and we shot yesterday.

She decided as the weather was OK that we might try to shoot outside. This was a bit challenging as there were flitting clouds and it was a bit windy, but this really didn't matter as the whole thing was full of ideas and laughter. Chiara is a complete delight to take photos with and needless to say, we have some lovely images.

I got the files yesterday evening, and they were safely downloaded.

As I say, there are some lovely images and I will have a wonderful time playing with them. But there was one which I rate among the very best that I have ever taken. I sat up into the early hours and I am still excited by it....and indeed the whole shoot.

Chiara is a delightful, easy model and is totally organised in her communications and in shooting.

I hardly need to recommend her to all photographers but I do, unreservedly.

What an epic shoot with Cheryl! I already knew what a charming & fun lady she was, so we just went with total experimentation as the theme and the results are spectacular.

Stunning sets, gorgeous outfits, creativity in spades & laughter was the perfect combination.

I loved every second and I cannot recommend highly enough :)

My first remote shoot with Cheryl. And wow wow wow! This lady is not only incredibly beautiful, she also has the most lovely personality! Cheryl was so helpful in showing me the settings aswell as achieving everything we loved in our mood board. The images are out of this world and I can't wait to show more of them off! Would highly recommend working with Cheryl if you haven't done so already and I will definitely be returning! Thank you! X

Chiara Elisabetta was on my radar to do a shoot for quite some time, but I was never able to actually get it done. Especially during these long periods of lockdown and restriction to travel, it was harder than ever to organise anything at all. Or so I thought.

Thanks to what is called 'Remote Shooting' it suddenly was possible after all to pursue my ideas.

Fast forward to mid february 2021, when I had set a date with Chiara to finally do the shoot. Prior to the event I had created a large moodboard - and sent it to her, which she used to create several sets for us to use. She also had done make-up and her and was all ready to start.

For communications we settled on a video call through FB Messenger.

With my laptop (and quick assist) I was able to takeover her laptop with digiCamControl handling the tethered Nikon camera.

The beauty of this program is that it allows you to control the camera - running in LiveView mode (!).

With all the unavoidable lags running can be a bit slower than one is used to, but when shooting a professional model this proved to be no problem at all.

The beauty with a large and detailed moodboard is that I could say to Chiara: how about shooting something like image nr 16? Whereupon she was able to immediately strike a pose.

The whole experience proved to be quite enjoyable - by the both of us!

After the shoot Chiara Elisabetta sent me all the raw files (through WeTransfer) which took several hours.

Once I had gotten hold of the raw files I could do the normal routine of post-processing.

Some of the results have been uploaded here.

P.S. a certain Toulouki has since then retouched a few of the images, another first for me ;-)

Yes, working with this wonderful woman is recommended. And doing a remote shoot with her is recommended as well. Full stop.

Chiara did a fantastic job for my first ever remote shoot. Highly recommended, no question.

Having agreed concept with mood boards etc, Chiara did a simply huge amount of pre-shoot preparation work which I really appreciated and paid dividends. The shoot concept gelled virtually instantly, flowed easily and there were far more ideas than time available.

A really experience model with a lot of rounded photographic knowledge was also key to success. Not being physically present, things like scene set up, lighting and camera position/settings become very much a collaboration. Chiara has the knowledge and experience in abundance to contribute to this. She also effortlessly adapt her modelling technique to remote environments, where for example she may need to hold a pose much longer than usual whilst the technology catches up, or focus can be difficult to see on screen.

It hardly seems worth mentioning that she was chatty and great fun to work with, but that was the case. Whilst I hope our next shoot will be face-to-face, I find it difficult to imagine a model much better than Chiara for the remote shoot option.

My first ever remote shoot with Chiara yesterday, and what a fantastic shoot it was. Chiara was, as on every shoot, extremely well prepared, and after a quick run through of the tech, was ready to go. Over the course of four hours, Chiara had to lug the lights, tripods, laptop and camera around as we managed to get a number of different looks in the four hours we had-nothing, it seemed, was too much trouble. Ever patient over the four hours, and with seemingly endless energy-such a wonderful model, and a fantastic shoot. And of course, it goes without saying-some amazing images. And, the wonderful sets Chiara puts together are just the icing on the cake. 100% recommended-thanks Chiara!

Today I had the opportunity to photograph Chiara remotely and coming back to the theme of empowerment once again. Chiara kindly wrote out a note that I prepared and emailed over. She creatively prepared a detailed floral setting around a mirror which was the main feature of our session and provided her unique style posing to create some story telling images.

I highly recommend Chiara.
