“I’ve worked with Chelli multiple times now and it’s incredible how she works. She’s very methodical and thorough in her planning. As a photographer, I love working with Chelli because even though she’s methodical in her planning, she’s very easy-going and fluid in our shoots - it’s really refreshing for me. To this day, our last shoot (Monochrome) we did together is my favorite shoot I’ve ever done. She’s a gem.”
“Chelli is one of a kind as a creative director. Her precise visions are never determined by trends, although her visual language is well aware of the contemporary moment. Her direction is never clouded by her ego, which allows her to be the best kind of collaborator. One enters into a sort of dance when they engage in a project with Chelli. She creates stories and listens as she is telling them. She moves through ideas fluidly, not frantically— a creative process that is wonderfully rare. To work with Chelli is to become friends with her dreams & to fall in delight with how a project unfolds.”
