References for ♥ Chiara Elisabetta

It's all been said. The woman's an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10, a creative force, a highly skilled image-maker (how many models ask you about your white balance?), brave and fearless, professional with a side of bonkers, fierce and smiley. She delivers, she contributes, she hugs. She's bubbly, like an active volcano. If you're thinking of booking her, but aren't sure, don't be scared, and don't wait: the sooner you work with her the sooner you can work with her again.

What can I say that hasn't already been mentioned.

I managed to fit a shoot into Chiara's schedule when she had a photographer cancel due to covid. We worked through a number of sets for a glamour project that I was doing, and she absolutely nailed it.

I also had the opportunity to see first hand how she edits her images and I hope as a result of this visit my photography and editing skills go up a gear.

Thanks so much for all your help Chiara, please don't leave it so long before you visit again.

How do you quantify a shoot with the vision that is Chiara?

Yes, all the usual pre-shoot stuff, arriving on time, hair/make-up, etc. where, of course, immaculate… as you would expect from somebody who’s done this once or twice :)

No, what I mean is: How do you explain that the woman is bloody brilliant at being a model and a human. That she loves nothing more than being involved in a creative shoot and will work tirelessly to ensure that you get the results you want. Beautiful and brilliant.

… and all she wanted, once we had exhausted our creative minds, was a pint of Guinness and a bag of chips. Awesome.

It's nearly been 9 years since Chiara and I last shot and so when she told me she was visiting Exeter nothing would have stopped me from working with her again!

Chiara was exactly as I remembered, speedy and polite communications and creative style ideas making the arrangement of the evening so easy for me.

On the day itself we found ourselves praying for good weather and the Gods smiled on us as incessant rain gave way to some beautiful golden light. We'd headed to the beach and although it was clear the initial cloud and cold winds were difficult, Chiara kept a smile on her face and bravely carried on working incredibly hard to help me get the shots.

By the end of the evening I had the biggest smile on my face and I can't wait to work on what we captured. Such is Chiara's charisma and kindness that it felt it had only been a few months since we'd seen each other, not years and more than anything, it felt like shooting with a friend.

Very highly recommended!

My first shoot with Chiara and I am asking myself why did I wait so long? There are simply not enough superlatives to describe the walking phenomenon that is Chiara. From the casting to the mood board to the shoot and the follow up.

Did I say phenomenal?

Highly recommended

There is something truly special about working with Chiara Elisabetta. Her passion for creativity is utterly inspiring, and her drive to achieve the best possible results compelling.

Whilst it has been a few years since our last shoot, this mattered not and we were quickly looking around the space and discovering cool patches of fantastic natural light. When the clouds came in we switched to the studio lighting for some dramatically lit sets. We were shooting at Sowton Studio, venue of our first shoot, and having avoided any deja vu from that shoot we had decided to revisit the shower set that was a highlight of that initial meeting.

The lesson from this is that everyone should take the opportunity to work with this extraordinary lady, and certainly don’t wait years for another meeting.

One Bright Spark

I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the pleasure of working with Chiara on a shoot this weekend. Chiara was visiting the area and hasn't for some while. I was gutted, as initially, I didn't think we could fit a shoot in (due to my diary) but Chiara made sure she was able to accommodate around my availability and I am over the moon that she did as - wow wow wow - what a brilliant experience in every way.

I have admired Chiara's portfolio since I joined PP as she has the most outstanding work and look with such an awesome style so I feel absolutely blessed to have been able to meet and work with her.

Pre-coms were amazing - I had some ideas so sent mood boards and she was straight on it, loved the ideas and was so positive and enthusiastic for our shoot. Chiara called me the night before to run through logistics and check all the finer details and just by speaking on the phone I knew I was dealing with an amazingly professional and experienced model at the top of her game.

On the shoot Chiara was ready on time, looking amazing and so 'on pointe' with the styling we had discussed, with many outfit options for us to change it up to get our perfect vision. I brought some props also and she was very keen to incorporate these and mix and match with her own styling. Throughout the shoot she went above and beyond to achieve our vision and nothing was too much trouble. Chiara's posing, creative energy and positive attitude was of the highest level and I couldn't ask for anything more in a model. Her experience, not only as a model, but also a photographer, retoucher and stylist at the top of her game means you will get something very special and I still can't believe I was lucky enough to team up with her.

Alongside her modelling/photography/styling skillset Chiara is such a beautiful, interesting, awesome person. She has a brilliant outlook, personality, vibrancy and infectious energy that just makes the whole time spent with her and the shooting experience so much fun. I can guarantee you won't want your shoot with her to end. We could have shot all day and I wish we could have but she had to get back for another shoot. Crazy as it sounds it almost felt like a spiritual enlightening experience just to be in her company and she also made me feel amazing about my own photography and I really hope this shows in the end results. Perhaps it was the theme we chose, magical forest creature & Boho but I suspect it is more due to her experience and brilliance that enables her to bring out the best in you.

If you ever get a chance to shoot with Chiara just do it - not only will you meet one of the most creative, professional, inspiring, beautiful and brilliant models on PP but you will also have the best time ever and learn so much. Thank you Chiara - you are just amazing and I can't wait to work with you again in the future.

Sowtonstudio

I was thrilled when Chiara decided to tour down to the South West and host a number of shoots here at Sowtonstudio, the last time was over 8 years ago.

She has handled all the shoots is a very professional manor bringing a vast number of outfits in her massive suitcase. She was well prepared for this tour having studied the mood boards and ensuing her communications with the photographers was catered for.

She is an exceptional talented individual and with her photographic and retouching skills was able to assist the photographers to create some stunning images, along with a laugh and a giggle.

Cant wait to welcome her back hopefully later in the year.

Booked a 2 hour shoot (extended to 3 hours as it was sooo good) with Chiara and Everly Rose and I am so glad I did. Chiara lives just a stones throw away and I've looked at many of her previous castings but never plucked up the courage to apply for fear of not being good enough.

Chiara is such a friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable person that you are immediately put at ease and the pressure melts away. We started off doing our own take on a few ides I had supplied but before long Chiara, with Everly's assistance, had taken on the role of set builder/designer, dashing in to the loft for props and completely disrupting her home to transform it into a dream set. Then she did it all again but this time in the garden.

Everything about her modelling skills has been said numerous times and is backed up by the strength of her portfolio, she is awesome! She knows how to work the set, work the pose and work the expression. She makes it look easy but she is working her butt off to make sure you get the images you want.

She is one of the best and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Well I went & did it again! Booked another shoot with Chiara (this time duo with Everly Rose). Why oh why do I keep doing this to myself? 'Cos she's bloody awesome that's why!

Perfect comms, friendly, funny, beautiful & as good a photographer as she is a model. Blah, blah blah, you've heard it all before, often from me, but believe me it's all true.

If you've worked with her you know the score, if you haven't, why not?

As always highly recommended.

My friend Frank and I had a wonderful time photographing Chiara for 4 hours at her home in Sussex.

We were put at ease straightaway; she is so happy, friendly and very very enthusiastic. She is pleased to pose as requested and suggests other poses that make good photographs.

We took photos in several rooms around the house, the rooms had good light coming in, and shots in the garden. We took some very interesting and different photographs.

Chiara is extremely professional and an excellent model. We took some brilliant images and had a great time.

I thoroughly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of meeting and “working” with the grand dame of PP fame today for our long anticipated shoot (on my side that is).

We got on famously and had a great time doing what we both like doing sharing a similar spirit, approach and ideas both creatively and philosophy wise which made for a great time that passed all too quickly.

Fortunately the weather helped as did Xhiara’s personality, professionalism and endless wardrobe.

She poses effortlessly and is fantastic to work with.

We are both looking forward to the results 😜

Thanks again 👊🏻

"Chiara Saves The Day" could be the title of a girl's adventure story, but she really did!

I'd been let down at the last minute on a hotel room shoot during the recent photography show at the NEC. Chiara was brilliant and offered to stand in with zero notice. We ended up having a wonderful first shoot.

Chiara is awesome. She's a fantastic model and all around lovely person. She's experienced, 100% professional, really knows her stuff, but also a really fun person to work with - much laughter was had.

I'm absolutely delighted with the images we made and now MUST book Chiara for a "proper" longer shoot

Totally recommended. Thank you Chiara

Signal Images

All the superlatives that Chiara has been awarded before apply to our shoot but what makes her a really great model is her ability to communicate and empathise with the photographer. Of course she is beautiful , brilliant at what she does and comes fully prepared with a bag full of outfits and make up but what really sets her apart is her ability to make any shoot fun and rewarding . 100% recommended and a joy to work with.

Despite the less than ideal temperatures (shakes fist at weather gods), Chiara did everything required of her. You can tell she cares passionately about her craft and she puts everything into getting great images.

A pleasure to work with and, obviously, highly recommneded.

What can I say about Chiara ?

Apart from she is amazing, a great friend and model,

Even though we have met up a few times this was only our second shoot together,

I booked an apartment in central Birmingham and we shot there in the early afternoon into the late evening,

We did a mixture of Fashion, Lingerie, Topless and nude, using natural daylight, house halogen lights, and Flash,

The images we created were amazing, shooting in the Bedroom, Bathroom and Living room quarters,

Chiara is a great model, she uses her body to great effect, and uses great facial expressions also, she knows how to pose and needs direction, but is happy to take direction if needed,

Words to describe her are - Beautiful, Sexy, Professional, Hard working, Funny, Naughty in a cheeky way, Expressive, Cool Hippie,

I would always recommend Chiara to all photographers and models that will respect her and her levels,

To models - Chiara is also an amazing photographer check out her work

Thanks for a great shoot my friend

Love you bab

I had a fantastic shoot with Chiara covering a number of styles and locations. She worked naturally and with little direction as she understood the brief completely. She brought a range of clothing and accessories which made the shooting flow while also adding ideas to enhance the results we achieved. Easily got more photos than we originally planned. Bubbly, fun and professional ; she delivered perfectly and I am looking forward to working with her again. One of the best !

We had a absolutely fantastic shoot with Chiara at Smethwick PS last Saturday. Four of us had one hour slots during a for hour shoot which produced some great pictures. Chiara was a delight to work with. She is so friendly and helpful. She arrived with a huge suitcase of clothes witch contained a super selection.

Judith and I look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended

Good models don't just make good work, they're really nice to work with. A few make you think "I'd settle for pictures half as good as these to work with someone as nice as that." AND "If I get pictures this good, I'd work with some half as nice as her". Chiara is one of those.

My shoot with her today was up with the best of them, for both quality of shots (just look at the work she has!) and pleasure of working with someone.

Work with this woman: she's brilliant.

John McNairn

Woohoo!!!......another Chiara shoot, another remote too. My last two shoots with Chiara produced some stunning images and this one was no different. We managed to play around with the scene by adding a mirror and working in that frame, a couple of changes in lingerie etc etc...main features were:- two missing knobs, the moveable mirror of surprise, the big white fluffy muff, the shoes of 'Alright'ness, the house of mischances, the unstayed stay, the fleeting time of confusion, the unstable sofa of moveability, the feline disturbance and softness of countenance.

Chiara is fabulous....book her now, and get the Chiara Experience!
