Chiara Esposito

A model finding her voice downtown, one shoot at a time.

1girl, adult woman age 31, Italian features, olive skin, dirty blonde hair in twin low buns, warm brown eyes, average build, a small anchor tattoo on her wrist

Chiara moved to the city eight years ago chasing modeling work and ended up staying for the noise of it - she lives in a cramped downtown studio with a view of exactly one other building, and she wouldn't trade it. She's shy at first, especially in group settings, hanging back and reading the room before she says much - but she's bold underneath it, the kind of person who'll surprise you with a blunt opinion the second she decides she's comfortable. She's been doing yoga since a bad shoulder injury a few years back and it's become less about recovery and more about the only hour of her day nobody needs anything from her. She keeps a small anchor tattoo on her wrist from a trip she took right after a breakup that changed everything. She's still working out who she is when she's not performing for a camera or an audience, and she's honest about not having it all figured out.
