Had a great day shooting with Carla with Adrian tutoring me. Can't recommend either of them highly enough. Adrian was extremely helpful and explained everything clearly. Carla was patient and creative and gave me great feedback. I really enjoyed the day and look forward to working with either or both of them again.

Just another Photographer

I'm new into the whole studio photography and working with models.

I had my second tuition course at Pauls studio in Reading and had the opportunity to work with Carls.

Carla quickly made me feel at ease and comfortable which made the shoot so much more enjoyable. Carla is friendly, professional and has loads of experience and did not need guiding which helped me a lot.

Thank you for your patience and I look forward to working with you in the very near future

Last week I had the opportunity to to work alongside the beautiful Carla Monaco during a themed 17th century shoot at Ston Easton Hotel.

Carla was very kind in preparing my hair and 2 other young models hair in a period fashion for the shoot. She is very experienced in hair/ make-up and beauty and looked lovely in the Georgian costume she was to model in.

Extremely professional young woman and incredibly down to earth with a warm personality.

It was a pleasure to work with her :)

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Carla today on a shoot with a group of others at the beautiful Ston Easton Park Hotel with costumes from Bath Theatrical.

Carla is really lovely and such a professional. She was so well prepared and even did mine and the others model's hair to fit the time period as she was the expert.

She looked stunning in her role and my only complaint was that I didn't get to work with her more, as I feel I'd have learn a thing or two!

Working with Carla was wonderful.

Today I worked on a Period shoot alongside Carla and other models at the beautiful Ston Easton Park Hotel.

She's lovely, beautiful and humble and very kindly did mine and the rest of the models' hair in ringlets!

She is such a professional - like Josie said, I would have loved to have had more of an opportunity to work with her more and learn from her.

Was lovely to meet you! :)

My 18th shoot with Carla but sadly I didn't see that much of her! It was a group shoot Upstairs-Downstairs set in 1790 but Carla was the lady of the house, and I seemed to spend more time in the kitchen with the servants! But of course as always Carla was a welcoming 'mother figure' and all the other models felted warmed by her presence. She is a dab hand at period hair styling and in the midst of everything produced some lovely results. As always Carla is a delight to work with. Next time, I want more of her 1:1, but meanwhile we have created some unique pictures. Thanks, Carla.

Carla's 861st reference. How on earth am I going to say anything new???

My hit rate with Carla was extraordinary. Any duff frames were purely my own fault. When you work with someone this good it means you can spend longer fettling lights & styling 'cos the actual shooting really doesn't take very long.

Photographing Carla is loads of fun, though, so it was tempting to keep working each set long after we'd got it in the bag.

Carla worked hard but was never hectic, her eye for styling is spot on and when given a brief she just got it - picked up my ideas, expanded on them and helped me make some of my best work to date.

Totally professional & organised, totally recommended.

A few days ago I had an absolute pleasure of working with Carla at a studio day it Inspire Studio.

This was our first 1-2-1 and although I previously worked with Carla at workshops I was absolutely blown away by that we managed to achieve in our first two hours together.

Carla is exceptionally diverse and very creative. She worked with all my ideas in a spirit of true collaboration. Carla is one of rare models who can take an idea and push it to it’s limit, exploring the creative potential! I was very impressed with the results.

It goes without say how beautiful this amazing woman is and how pleasant and kind. It is an absolute please to be in her company and to work with her and I hope we can have another opportunity of working together soon.

Thank you for amazing photos!

I have waited a long time to shoot this beautiful young lady and I was not disappointed. Carla visited my local Inspire Studio for her Studio Day. Carla is such a delight to work with a true professional with outstanding poses and ideas. She came fully prepared with an amazing amount of outfits, her hair and make up was spot on. Carla is very creative and once she knows what you are looking for she produces time and time again. I was blown away by her effortless posing and style. Again after waiting so long to shoot this young lady, I came away with some amazing photos.

I would highly recommend Carla, if you have a chance to photograph this young lady grab that chance with both hands.

Thank you Carla x

I see myself as extremely lucky to have been able to shoot with the amazing Carla a couple of times in just a few weeks, and altogether having had 5 shoots.

In my view Carla is the ultimate model in that she is 100% professional, poses perfectly in any style, very easy to get along with and a lovely personality - an absolute photographers dream.

My last shoot was at Inspire Studio in Salisbury, 2 days ago. Carla was Carla and I could not have hoped for more - we covered fashion and retro, and I could have just kept on clicking.

The perfect shoot and results to match.

Many thanks for a beautiful couple of hours - will see you soon.

Recommended 100% to any and every photographer

Wow what a fantastic weekend of events at the studio with this wonderful lady. I can't sing her praises enough from the event her and Adrian did on the Saturday to the studio day on the Sunday Carla was the perfect host as well as being an absolute superstar with her modelling and styling. I'd have her back in a heartbeat and gutted I missed the opportunity to shoot with her myself as her studio day filled up so quickly! Hope to see her back again soon and don't miss out if you get the opportunity to work with her.

Another shoot with the lovely Carla, this time at Paul's Manor House event, which gave plenty of great locations. As always, Carla is a joy to work with, relaxed and easy-going but also constantly working on striking a great pose, looking for ideas for a shot, and just constantly looking really beautiful. A lot of very pleasing images resulted, particularly some using natural light in the bedroom. Carla is certainly one of my favourite models to work with, and I hope I'll have the chance to shoot her again before long.

I had a great shoot yesterday with Carla at Image Red (the loft)

Carla is such good fun to work with and the ultimate professional model.

Because Carla knew the sort of images i wanted to achieve she gracefully glided from one pose to the next leaving me to fine tune and click away with ease.

Carla is without doubt the perfect model and it is always a privilege to shoot with her.

Thanks

Neil

This was my shoot with Carla. Her precomms were excellent and to the point and organising the shoot was a breeze. We agreed a theme and she arrived with great outfits and make up ready to go!. I was able to get some great shots and we experimented with some Editorial poses and her input to the shots was invaluable.

The first few edits from this shoot so far are outstanding and I know there are many more great final edits to come.

Carla I can only recommend you most highly to anyone and thanks again for a great shoot!

Another shoot with the superb Carla Monaco, a duo with Nicky Phillips.

What can I say that has not been said before about the exceptional Carla.

Well Carla was her usual relaxed, bubbly, chatty & fun self, whilst remaining totally professional & focused on projecting her unique look into every shot

Carla is a true delight to work with & as ever I thoroughly recommend Carla.

I had the pleasure of working with Carla this morning, she is an absolute delight to work with such a lovely personality.

She was always professional and her beauty matches the images on her portfolio.

I would recommend to all photographers and am looking forward to working with her again.

Had the wonderful pleasure to work with Carla again. This lady is beautiful inside and out, she is an angel to work with, knows how to pose and move to suit the theme, she is faultless. Our communications were brilliant and she came up with additional ideas for the shoot based on Hollywood Glamour. She makes the work look effortless, not to mention makes the whole shoot go with no hitches. Carla is 100% true professional her make was exquisite and she had even curled her hair to suit the style of Hollywood. I would highly recommend her and will work with her again shortly.
