WhatTheEyesSeeTheMindBelieves

Barbara came to shoot with me over several days, shooting different styles and themes from fashion to artnude.

Communication in advance was great and enthusiastic for the ideas planned. She was able to dovetail into our home situation seamlessly and was a lot of fun to have around while not shooting too.

The shoots were great, I believe we achieved great results, occasionally having to do so in challenging circumstances, Barbara was ever the professional.

It was a pleasure to work with her, her posing was effortless and flowed from one excellent pose to another, she knows exactly what she is doing without the need for a lot of direction. I will be happy to work with her again and she has my full recommendation

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Barbara Cia for the first time on a 1-2-1 at the Shapeshifter studio in Warrington while she was on her first northern tour. Pre shoot comms were perfect (professional, organised, prompt, and informative). Barbara arrived early at the meeting point allowing us time to chat about ideas and the flow of the session over a brew before getting started. Barbera came very well prepared with a super selection of outfits that fitted her style and my requests to a T.

Barbara is genuinely such a lovely chilled and easy going person, with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. It was such a chilled and relaxed shoot as if we had worked together many times before. Throughout the shoot Barbara was full of positive ‘can do’ energy putting 110% effort into every shot. Barbara not only poses effortlessly but she has an amazing eye and memory for the fine details including lighting positions, preferred pose positions etc showing her wealth of experience ensuring she brings any look or concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

If you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended to studios and photographers of all levels.

Thanks for your hard work, and patience on the day. It was such a great, fun and creative afternoon and Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)

First time working with Barbara, and so glad we had the opportunity to work with such a talented, hardworking model!!

We found Barbara to be super friendly, enthusiastic, polite and generally a lovely person to be around.

Pre shoot communications were very good and she was very accomodating considering our last minute enquiry - she arrived on time and was ready to shoot.

Barbara works hard during the shoot, remains present and contributes ideas to enhance the shoot. All in all a thoroughly professional model who we would recommend to all photographers.

If you haven’t worked with her yet, why not… get in touch, you won’t be disappointed.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Barbara responded to my last minute casting, turned up on time all ready to go and styled perfectly. It was very easy to work with her and enjoyed the shoot. Highly recommended!

This was my first time shooting with Barbara :) I flew from the west coast of Ireland to London to shoot with four models over a two day period for a panel I am working on. Pre shoot comms were excellent and she was a lovely friendly person but professional when it came to shooting time. We had planned a five hour shoot but ended up just doing three hours as her workrate was excellent. It was a bit of a bonus as Barbara had worked so hard :) I would highly recommend Barbara and might catch back up with her later this year if I go to Czech Republic :)

Barbara is a true professional.

Excellent communication, on time, experienced and fun.

She needs no direction posing effortlessly and was very helpful at making suggestions understanding light and angles as she does.

I highly recommend working with her and look forward to doing so again.

Thanks Barbara 👍🏻

Had a fab shoot with Barbara, arranged at the last minute, her communication was excellent.

A really really professional model with a ton of experience that makes her one of the most versatile models I have ever worked with. I came away with an incredible number of images, she completely understood the brief and what was required for each look. I am so pleased that we managed to get a shoot in whilst she was here. She is a real pleasure to work with.

If you get the chance to work with Barbara when she is in the UK again then just do it! I will be.

Arranged a shoot with Barbara from her casting call. Comms prior to the call were very good. She arrived at the station at the agreed time.

Once we got to the studio we discussed the shoot plan and got started with the first set. She is an experienced model so did not require any direction once we agreed on the style for each set.

The shoot was relaxed and Barbara brought her own interpretation to each set.

Overall a very good shoot happy with the resulting images.

Thanks Barbara for such a great shoot! 🙂

I had the chance to shoot with this awesome fun model today and it was such a refreshing shoot where it was constant funny stories from start to finish yet we git many amazing shots.

Communication prior to today was great and Barbara kept me updated on her travel before she arrived.

As the shoot began she was able to perform to the camera as a character, giving her all to the camera with many years of experience and a brilliant way to express naturally with who face and body. Naturally she us a very beautiful young woman with a soul for life and that all came through and I'm ecstatic with what we captured and cannot wait to edit rhe final results.

I could of shot another hour but that's always a sign of a great shoot and I will definitely book her again for another idea.

Highly recommended! 🙂

I just did a themed shoot with Barbara. Wow

She has a stunning look, is very confident infront of the camera, great rapport between us and is absolute fun to work with. What more can you ask for.

I got some brilliant shots and hope to work with her again. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic and fun shoot with Barbara. It was quite last minute .com but preforms were on point and my two word brief for the look was interpreted brilliantly!. Barbara is wonderful to work with as she is open and friendly, has great ideas and is very very good at what she does. I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants to create some standout images. Thank you Barbara:)

Sometimes a model just knows what I need for my project. Luckily I had the pleasure of working with Barbara who is just the model! Pre shoot communication was simple, as was arranging a location. The actual shoot couldn't have proceeded any better; Barbara was professional and required zero encouragement or direction, she simply understood exactly what I was seeking for my project. Would I work with Barbara again? Certainly!

Barbara was absolutely fantastic to work with. Another model cancelled on me the night before the shoot and she stepped in at last minute.

She was super professional and made my job easy. We were in a small hotel room but managed to get great shots.

Highly recommend booking!

I had the utmost pleasure in working with the beautiful Barbara on her recent trip to the UK. Pre-communications were excellent, the moodboard was sorted, and despite being weighed down by many bags she was raring for the challenge in creating some cool imagery! Barbara had some lovely outfits that we styled on set, and was more than accommodating in my ideas - contributing lots of her own too!. Her years' of experience behind the lens definitely showed, as did her attention to detail in movements. Barbara was a true professional in every sense of the word, has a very endearing personality, is immense fun and an extreme conversationalist which I absolutely loved!

Barbara has such amazing complexion that minimal make-up was all that was necessary.

We achieved many varying styles in a few hours, which disappeared far too quickly! Surprisingly we literally bumped into one Security guard due to someone complaining about us holding open the lift, and managed to dodge two others. I can honestly say that I had brilliant time, and will remember this shoot for some time to come.

I highly recommend Barbara 100% without question - you'll be guaranteed to come away with some beautiful and interesting work... Looking forward to the next shoot if you’re able to squeeze me in.

Thanks for a truly wonderful shoot!

I have worked with Barbara on seven separate occasions since 2014, and have found her, without exception, to be professional, skilled, friendly and cooperative, a great communicator and a very fine model. She is also breathtakingly beautiful. Highly recommended.
