About Me:
My name is Chiara, I am ‘Britalian’ and living in London. After many years working in consumer insights and advertising, I have expanded my career into a portfolio of activities that include playwriting, performing arts and modelling. No matter what I work in, I always strive to bring passion, creativity and harmony to a project.
I feel very drawn to the world of modelling, and its buzzy, creative, collaborative environment. I enjoy taking directions and being in front of the camera, as well as seeing the end result- how all elements come together to create a mood, to tell a story. I have performed in, and directed theatre productions, and I can see some similarities in this respect. To me, it is all about the team’s success over the individual- I trust stylists, photographers, MUAs to bring their skills and I like to do my part in creating happy and upbeat working environments. At the last photo shoot I have been described “a joy to work with”, which makes me very happy!
I believe my other career strands bring valuable skills to modelling. As a performer, I seek to bring emotion to the images I create. I seek to make each look my own, and I believe my acting experience contributed to my versatility. With a background in dance, I bring physicality to the shoot and work hard to find the best poses to support each shoot. I can provide further information on my theatre and movement projects.
As an insight consultant, I come with a strong understanding of brands and communication. 20 years’ experience in advertising and new product development make me familiar with advertising briefs, and with crucial importance of casting and tonality. Having been self-employed for over a decade, I can bring discipline, organization, resilience to this job.
Finally, fashion can be very empowering, and transformative. I feel it is especially important for more mature women to gain visibility in the industry and I would be honoured to help create a more inclusive world, one snapshot at a time.
