I applied to a casting on short notice for Duo shoot with Camille and Claudia. Both of them were fantastic and need no directions. Time flew by and we got some amazing shots. Would definitely recommend Claudia to anyone

Working with Claudia was a great pleasure. She is very professional, open and creative. Our shoot was relaxed and entertaining as well. Claudia is a fun person to work with, she understood what I wanted and offered exactly what I needed. Since I like to experiment, I sometimes don't know "where we are going with this" and Claudia offered interesting solutions for tricky challenges. Even though, we worked for 9 hours, I feel that we barely scratched the surface of what we could achieve together.

I would love to work with her again and warmly recommend her to anyone.

This was the second shoot with Claudia. This time a double act with the equally adventurous Camille. This shoot involved a considerable amount of 'free styling' and improvisation by the models and it has generated a collection of images I could never have preplanned. All perfect for my project. Once again I urge you to book Claudia you will not be disappointed. Merci Claudia

Claudia is absolutely awesome. Relaxed, assured, confident with a wide range of poses. Approach your shoot professionally with attention to detail and you will get a good set of images. Go prepared with ideas and Claudia will make it happen for you. Not much else to say, other than raise your game to match the talent. I will be back...

This is very short reference but a biggest praise.

We’ve shot 6?7?8? I dont remember how many times already. Claudia is my muse.

Claudia brought all her considerable experience as both a model and a photographer to the shoot. Posing freely and providing advice on lighting, composition and direction, Claudia provided some outstanding images for me to photograph.

Claudia is both very professional and a pleasure to work with at the same time. I would love to shoot with her again. I highly recommend her.

What an outstanding model!

Couldn’t think of a better way to start this reference as that is exactly what Claudia is .

From the very start of pre comms she was excellent as and accommodating too as due to the weather I changed the date a few times , we were shooting the first part of the day in the woods shooting art nude and Claudia was a complete trouper and hit pose after and amazing image after amazing image all day long .

Our 5 hr shoot flew by , she’s a wonderfully refreshing and interesting person to be around , a naturally beautiful model that poses effortlessly

I’d recommend Claudia 100% she truly is one of the most outstanding models on here :) thank you again X

Had my first awesome impromptu shoot with Du Lievre yesterday and had a great shoot with her. Pre-shoot coms were clear and we seems to get along immediately. I've admired her work for some time so was glad of the opportunity to shoot with her.

She is a great model to work with, confident, creative and uncomplicated. As usual my first shoot nerves made a clutz of me but she took it in her stride, made me comfortable and came up with some stunning and unusual (for me) poses. She also pushed my experience in photography and direction experience which is precisely what I need at this stage of photographic journey, making me think, building confidence and getting more out of my photography whilst coming up with some lovely work without any direction at all.

I am very much looking forward to going through the work we created and would most definitely recommend her. I am looking very much to working with her again soon.

Thank you so much.

I was recommended by PetiteLeka to Du Lievre after I had finished a shoot with her a week before.

Du Lievre reached out and asked for a shoot at her place in the London area. Communication were good before the shoot and she made it eazy for me to find her.

I am brand new to photography and she helped make sure I was getting the best poses and making the best use of available light. We looked at the photos together and she was willing to redo any pose that I liked but did not get right.

We then went for a walk to the park where we took some topless photos and she even climbed a tree for me. Even when it started to rain we stay and made the most of it.

I enjoyed our shoot together and think we got some great shots. More than anything I enjoyed my time getting to know her. She was very professional and helpful throughout the shoot.

I highly recommend booking with Du Lievre.

I just had the great pleasure of working with Claudia for two days and it was an awesome experience. Pre-shoot communication was effortless, and so was shooting with her. She is an imaginative poser, very enthusiastic, and not afraid of exploring new things, so we ended up making some unique images.

Oh, and she is fun to work with too!

I can heartily recommend working with Claire and hope to get to shoot with her again sometime.

Gary Breckheimer

Du Lievere was right on time, with a professional attitude and fun and witty banter. Hade a great day and I cant wait to work with her again!

Flemming Ryborg Photo

This shoot with a model that truly embodies the old concept of a muse was one of my best photographic experiences in years. Du Lievre performed flawless all skills she humbly mentions, and I would love to cooperate with her again any time. I can only give her my very best recommendation.

Colin Evans

Occasionally , a model comes along with that ‘wow’ factor, and reinforces all those reasons why we love photography so much. Such was the case with Claudia

There is just so much that I could write about Claudia, but I'm going to keep it short and let you discover for yourself just why she has such glowing references, and why I would put her as one of the top 3 models that I have worked with in 4 years of being on Purple Port.

Would I work with her again? ... in a heartbeat ...

Thank you Claudia

Simon Carter

Claudia is awesome.

It's very tempting to finish the reference like that but there's so many more things to say.

Claudia is professional, organised, hard-working, enthusiastic, fearless, funny, friendly, beautiful, unique, patient, energetic, expressive, body confident, quirky, easy-going, likeable, creative, eager to learn and an utter joy to work with.

I feel as though I've made some of my best work with her. She took my ideas and gave them her own twist - and then added her own special brand of magic.

The second part of our shoot was a chance for me to explain my approach to lighting. Claudia is a photographer too but has little experience of studio lighting. She grasped the fundamentals in a way which I've only rarely encountered.

Seriously: book her. She's one of the very best models I've come across. I can't wait to work with her again.

Like I said:

Claudia is awesome.

Some things in life involve luck.

Others involve planning.

Even less are fate.

My shoot this week with Claudia involved all three!

The very first image I saw of claudia I knew I had to request a shoot. Claudia has an ethereal beauty that shines through every image.

However, that's where the nerves kick in! The thing is, Claudia is an artist. I'm a plucky hobbyist photographer. I long ago realised that the most stunning images are only made by a collaboration between like-minded individuals. I am not worthy!

But . . .

That's where the challenge comes in. I don't know about you, dear reader, but I insist on striving for creative perfection. Will I ever achieve this? Nope! Never!! Not even close. Not in a gazillion years. But that's what makes it all so exciting. Chasing the unattainable. Always challenging yourself. Learning from your mistakes. Never seeing a mistake as a failure, but as something to learn from. I HAD to work with Claudia (but only if she wanted to, of course).

So, I contacted Claudia. And then what? Only the warmest, most encouraging response in Purpleport heaven, that's what. GAME ON!! I KNEW we were going to have a great shoot. We were going to have fun trying anyway. I was 100% sure that Claudia would bring her 'A' game. Me? Hmmmm, that's where the anxiety starts bubbling away. But, it didn't. With every message, I just knew that our shooting time would absolutely fly by. Did I know what we were going to shoot? Did I know where? What the spaces would be like? And the light? None of it. I knew the geographical locations (many and varied) but the specifics could wait for the shoot itself. I was ridiculously excited to work with this true artist.

So, the shoot itself . . ?

It flew by. We shot lots! We laughed. We were shouted at by a stone deaf CEO - repeatedly! We hid in small pipes (well, one of us did!). We fed pigeons. Truck drivers stopped and took camera phone pics. We looked out for neighbours emptying car boots. I fell over (twice)! Oh yeah, and we laughed.

I'm still buzzing, days later.

Claudia is an utter delight. In every single way. If I could only shoot with one model for the rest of my life, it would be Claudia. Would I get bored? Never! Would I create the 'ultimate photograph'? Absolutely not. Is that Claudia's fault? Not even slightly.

There is nothing to fault in Claudia's physicality. Her natural beauty, her skin, her stunning toning and muscles, her curves . . . all wonderful. But that's only the half of it. It's in the eyes, you see. And, my god, there is so much life, energy, humour, desire, wonder and excitement in those eyes!

So, is that it then?

Christ, no! It had better not be. I know I haven't even scratched the surface with Claudia. We created lots of glorious images but I know I simply haven't done her skills and beauty justice. Round 2 beckons - and I CANNOT WAIT!

Claudia is special. Very special. Treat her well or I'll come round and stick a bat up your nightdress!

Thank you, Claudia. A bientot xxx

PS Peak ratchet! :-)

So twice Claudia within one month!

And yes, it could have been 3 or more times!

A raw diamond, showing off great reflections when exposed to light one could say, with a large variety of facettes which are fun to detect!

And we had fun, she did do a great job in bleeding in with Tania Aresti on our duo shoot, we did outdoor very early to catch the sun rise at Geneva Lake, we covered natural moments, some duo fetish work, boudoir, a bag full of different sets.

She has, due to her own photography, a skilled eye for the pose to nail the idea, is very bendable for some extra outstanding poses and fun to have around for discussions touching so many different subjects when having a break or dinner.

Was this my last shoot wit Claudia?

Definitively not!

So when you want someone natural, great looks, flexible and whit experience on both sides of the camera, go for her, you will not be disappointed.

Due to her own photography I gave her a few RAW files to edit at her own discretion, I'm happy I did that, they look great seen through her eyes!

So look where she will be, London, Berlin, just make sure to not wait too long!

Aperture22

That was somehow my first answer to a casting call and I'm very happy to have answered!

Claudia is a great model, poses with ease and brings her own ideas or integrates swiftly ideas from the photographers side into the image!Easy going, polyglot and a very nice company on and of set!

We did mainly do outdoor work, during our 2 and a half days shooting we managed to cover quite a range of subjects from art nude, some boudoir and a little bit of fetish work as well.

No problem for her, she can wear every 'hat'with ease!

So as mentioned above, a model clearly to recommend, and surely to work with again!

If you want a natural model with great looks, a feel for the image and endurance and dedication in her posing and being, go for her!

So, see you very soon again Claudia!

I was one of Claudia's first photographers when she lived in Geneva and was a beginner in photography. After his life journey took her to other cities, other countries. So when I learned that Claudia was coming back to Switzerland for a few days, I contacted her with great interest and curiosity, impatient to discover her development in the world of photography. I must say that I was not disappointed, because instead of an inexperienced model, I discovered someone now very experienced and more interested in the photo technique. In addition, relations with Claudia are pleasant in a very relaxed atmosphere. I have little feeling in her, a great respect and a great listening to the other. It is with great pleasure that I will see her again for another shoot.

Got a chance to shoot with Claudia most recently. This went very well, from the pre-shootings discussions all through. Claudia is easy-going, authentically kind and attentive, professional and focused. I recommend her to whoever wants to shoot "natural" models, she is a ambassador!
