Rika Noir
Model based in Verona.
Fashion, editorial, beauty and portrait. I work with photographers, brands and magazines across Italy, and travel for projects around Europe.
About
At night, Verona looks like a film set someone forgot to switch off. I grew up here, and maybe that’s why, in front of the camera, I look for the shadow before the light.
My name is Federica Leorato, I’m 26, and on set I’m Rika Noir. The name comes from the black-and-white films I watched as a teenager: women who never smiled by accident, hard light, smoke, silences that said more than the lines.
I pose for fashion, editorial, beauty and portrait work. Contrast is where I feel at home: steady eyes, constructed poses, an elegance with a thread of unease running through it. When the story calls for it I can be soft too, and I like to understand the character before the clothes.
I arrive on time, prepared on the moodboard, with the patience of someone who knows the right frame is sometimes the fortieth.

We shape the project
We share moodboards and references: look, make-up, hair, mood. If there’s a character to play, I work on it before I get to set.

We confirm in writing
Fee, hours, location and image usage go into a written agreement. Until it’s confirmed, the date stays on option.

On set
I arrive on time, with clean face and hair and a basic kit: black and nude underwear, black heels, a few neutral pieces. Every four hours we take a break.

After the shoot
We sign the release and agree on delivery times and format. When the photos come out, tag me @rikanoir: I’m happy to share them.
