[jump to photo gallery] Chiara 21st anniversary shoot: Today I want to talk about a model who I worked with for over two decades and who had a very profound effect on my photography. Chiara and I did our first shoot way back on 2001-06-09. She had moved from Milan to Southampton in the days…

Chiara Returns
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2018-07-072025-11-02

[jump to photo gallery] Just had the pleasure of working with one of my all-time favourite models. Chiara returns to the waist.it studio! I first worked with Chiara way back in June 2001 – 2001-06-09 to be precise. Since then we have done literally hundreds of shoots together. Unfortunately in recent years, our shoots have…

Chiara fitness and girdle review
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2013-09-242025-11-02

[Jump to photo gallery] After quite a long gap we finally got Chiara down for another shoot. And very productive it was too. Firstly we did another “Bonnie Cashin Madenform Girdle” style. Then she did another of her excellent girdle reviews. This time it was a particularly slinky-looking black nylon/Lycra Miraclesuit strapless bodyshaper girdle. Regular…

Sarah’s third post-pregnancy shoot
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-09-262024-07-02

This is the third of a series of photo shoots, intended to document Sarah’s progress as she gets back into shape after given birth to two healthy babies. Readers may recall that Sarah ended her second shoot enjoying a deportment session with Chiara. It went really rather well, so we decided to get them together…

Chiara modelling golden American swimsuit
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-09-052024-06-15

This is a brief shoot where Chiara models a very stylish Half Moon retro one-piece swimsuit, kindly provided by eBay seller Bella Swimwear USA. Unfortunately, due to bad weather and other pressures, we haven’t been able to shoot outside. We’ll probably do that next spring. Note the “girdle” snaps at the end are unrelated to…

Chiara 10 years of shooting
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-06-172024-06-15

I first worked with Chiara way back 2001-06-09. In that time we have done dozens of shoots and taken many thousands of pictures. In that time we have become good fiends and done many projects together. Whilst it has always been brilliant fun, it has also been a lot of work, and poor Chiara has…

Chiara girdle review
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-06-172024-06-15

In the tradition of our old Zona project, we asked Chiara to do another modern girdle review shoot. Only this time we decided not merely to photograph the garments, but also to sum up Chiara’s opinions in pictures So here we have two low-cost but nicely-made new black pantie girdles bought via eBay. Girdle 1…

Chiara Maidenform Bonnie Cashin ad project
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-04-052025-11-02

Working with Chiara tends to inspire me with strange or surreal ideas. This shoot was based on a 1961 magazine advert for Maidenform girdles. Basically it involved taking two images of the model, one in a girdle and another shot of her wearing the same girdle under her dress. The two images were stitched together…

Chiara Tummy-ins project
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2011-03-082025-11-02

The manufacturer’s marketing department must have really racked their brains to come up with the name “Tummy-Ins” to describe a girdle. But the bizarre and slightly surreal packaging was just begging for a Chiara photo-shoot. So we removed the original model, and put Chiara on a scan of the packet instead. I’m not sure if…

The concept It is almost a year since Chiara and I worked together. Consequently she is a little out of practice. She also admits to not doing any of her usual tummy exercises for a while and that it is a bit of a struggle for her to keep it tucked in. Now, if this…

Chiara and Heather Pink Shoot
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2008-12-012025-11-02

This shoot was entirely Heather’s own idea. In this “pink-themed” shoot, Heather teams up with regular waist.it model Chiara. Chiara’s role was to help Heather pose with that classic retro pin-up body shape, so we could capture some authentic-looking retro dressing-room pictures. And of course, we let them reverse roles too…

Chiara tidies the studio
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2008-05-282024-07-02

Chiara is not merely a very talented retro model. She is also my researcher, shoot organiser, model trainer and she organises the studio. Those familiar with this site will know that often when she is sorting out the place or tidying up the studio, she replaces her normal clothes with a t-shirt, bra and pantie…

Chiara and Laura retro fitness shoot
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2008-05-072025-11-02

Regular model Chiara teaches Laura the art of creating that authentic retro body shape. Using Chiara’s tried-and tested methods of good posture and good corsetry, both young ladies go on to create some fantastic imagery. This shoot works particularly well because the models take it in turn to help each other achieve that perfect hourglass…

Chiara bra and girdle exercises
ByStudio 'waist.it' 2008-02-132024-07-02

Chiara puts on a bra wriggles into a girdle – worn as hotpants – and teams this up with a matching top, then tidies up the studio. Occasionally she pauses to do some tummy exercises. Meanwhile we follow her with a camera and snap her whenever she does anything particularly interesting or photogenic.

Today Chiara said she rather fancied some pictures using the pale blue background. So we shot her in her new green bikini doing her tummy exercises, and then in a Chinese matching shiny blue bra and control briefs for a few poses. She even did a few Betty Brosmer style tight belt shots too. For…

Chiara and Jade, modelling for a particularly productive “retro fitness in shapewear” shoot. The concept was to shape each other’s figures using a mixture of exercise, working on each other’s posture and deportment, whilst modelling some nice, firm shapewear.
