Industry Testimonials:

“We worked with Chanelle on a hectic content shoot in our inhouse studio here at Overland, she did a great job under quite a lot of time pressure and working with all our different looks. Really happy with the results and would happily recommend her.” – Theo Leach, Photography Lead at Overland Footwear Group.

“Chanelle has worked with Gather Magazine on two of our feature fashion shoots now, and each time she has surpassed my expectations. She works well to a brief, while at the same time, bringing her own unique ideas to the table to ensure that our models absolutely shine. She knows all the tips and tricks to ensure they look amazing and goes above and beyond on the day planning for every scenario that could happen. She is so fun to have on set and immediately makes our sometimes inexperienced models feel welcome and comfortable. Chanelle is definitely one of my preferred artists and hair stylists to work with and I’d definitely not hesitate to book her again.” - Jessica Whiting, Creative Director and Editor-in-Chief at Gather Magazine.
