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.

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.

So glad I made the decision to arrange a shoot with Chiara. Talented, funny, enthusiastic and she knows her stuff!

Top model!!

I have known Chiara for (God knows how many) years before today, even met her by chance one day! And finally the day came when I got the opportunity to shoot her, albeit remotely…but so what?!

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours I spent interacting with Chiara online and getting some fab images during that time. You can tell a when a model is a total pro when she just flows through the poses and various sets.

Bottom line: please book this lovely one before she goes away.

A wonderful morning with Chiara she is fun to work with knowledgeable , talented, helpful and beautiful. What more could up ask, for book her now before she leaves for Bali

I have shot with Chiara twice before. Once at my home studio and once remotely, so I know what a fantastic model she is.

I am just beginning to take photographs again after the boredom of Covid and wondering whether I could remember how to use a camera or to think of anything to do with a model.

So I was delighted when she contacted me to say she had a really interesting venue to shoot in, just down the road (35 minutes) from me and how would I like to go and make some images with her.

Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and I had four hours of wild excitement.

A first in that we wrote a word on her...not rude!!!! But symbolic of the free , for me, concept of running ideas wherever they flow.

She is a brilliant model and a delightful person.

Happy to try my ideas, but also happy to develop them and to tell me if mine are no good. This is just what I like.

We got loads done and I staggered home with many lovely, interesting images.

I have now been well and truly dragged by the scruff of the neck back into the world of Model Photography.....in the nicest possible way.

Thank you so much Chiara. A wonderful afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, I can recommend Chiara to other photographers in every possible way.

When I saw that Chiara was travelling to Tewkesbury again I knew I had to book a shoot with her.

I absolutely love working with her as not only is she a professional, hard working model but she has a great personality, great sense of humour and is highly creative with her outfits, ideas and poses. We used the boudoir bedroom, chesterfield sofa and even the red wall in the lounge, and with our combined ideas we once more created so many wonderful, impressive and varied images.

As always I highly recommend her to any photographer, and I look forward very much to working with her again soon.

Another really outstanding shoot with Chiara; this time at the cottage studio in Sussex.

Chiara is such a hard-working and professional model that it is simply not possible to work with her and come away with anything other than beautiful, creative work.

Not only this, but she is a very friendly and helpful model, who puts you at ease within moments of your shoot beginning.

It is such a pleasure too, to bounce ideas with Chiara, and then to see all the developments and improvements that she can suggest so quickly. She is one of those models who needs the absolute minimum of direction, but equally if you do give some suggestions she is able to rapidly assimilate them, and make sure that the idea produces wonderful work.

I simply cannot recommend working with Chiara too highly, and will make sure that I do not leave it too long before working with her again.

In summary, a truly outstanding shoot which produced high-quality, creative and varied work across a number of sets both swiftly and in a very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.

Just had a REMOTE SHOOT with Chiara and what a pleasure it was to be working with her. Our shoot was all set up within a 24 hour timeframe and inspite of the last minute arrangements, Chiara had everything under control and was very happy to accommodate my suggestions and the direction I asked for. We captured so many wonderful images, but then it’s Chiara, so how could you not. The mixing of lights was very much Chiara’s professional work and the combination of strobe and ambient created good clear images with soft background lighting that helped add atmosphere to the location of the shoot.

As one can see from her portfolio, a very professional model but also fun to work with and chatty which always helps. Thanks Chiara and to anyone unable to get to Chiara right now, book a remote shoot with her. Unequivocally recommended.

Had my first remote session with Chiara yesterday. We'd discussed the concept, and she was prepared with not just makeup and styling very much in line with the theme, but at least 2 sets styled for that theme as well.

Enthusiastic, well-prepared, creative, very good at posing and quite expressive; I was very impressed. Highly recommended!

Who would want to work with a know all?

Chiara knows her posing, her styling & her light. She knows how to get the best from you & how to get the best image. She knows how to make a shoot tons of fun & make you want to do it over & over again.

Do you know if I love working with her? Do you know if I'd recommend her?

I think you know the answer.
