I have been wanting to shoot with Carla for some time now and finally got the opportunity at The recent "Back to the 70's" shoot arranged by Artemis.

She is such an amazing and professional model and with her beautiful look was perfect fit for the shoot. She is great company with a lovely personality and took the time to talk and get to know each other a little. The whole shoot was superb and I will definitely shooting with Carla again sooner rather than later I hope. I would 100% recommend Carla

I have been meaning to shoot with Carla again since we last did so six months ago. I feel both overjoyed and privileged to have been involved in the major 1970's themed event at the London Hacienda alongside other such luminaries as Artemis Fauna and Monika Lara Smith.

I have always felt comfortable working with Carla, and today was no exception. Having previously worked in a number of different environments, whether it be a solo shoot or as part of a workshop, today's event proved to be a welcome addition as well as a nice little bookmark.

I found it genuinely heartwarming because Carla didn't merely dress up and put on an act for the camera, she in fact got right into the spirit of the time and clearly enjoyed every moment while she was at it.

I had just as much fun as everybody else including Carla today.

Thank you so much for another fantastic shoot today Carla. I really do hope it won't be long before we work together again.

I was so pleased to be invited to work on the 70s themed shoot at the hacienda with the amazing Carla 😀

Carla is a beautiful model so elegant and serene 😀

So lovely to be around . Professional in every way x every pose is graceful and every image looks awesome 😀

Carla let me loose on her hair and took each look to perfection 😀 Carla made me feel part of the team and was so easy to be around 😀 Great company 😀

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Carla again at Artemis Fauna’s “Back to the 70s” event at The Hacienda. Carla is a very beautiful and graceful model and her look, style and poise was just perfect for the theme. Carla is also charming company away from the camera and the whole day was a dream. Thank you so much for an amazing shoot, I’ve got so many wonderful pictures to choose from, and I sincerely hope we get the chance to work together again 😊

I wasn’t going to pass by the opportunity to with shoot Carla and Artemis at the Hacienda Studio.

These two beautiful ladies are a legend, producing such amazing images.

Our gracious host Sean invited various teams of Hacienda models to produce themed events, using the marvellous space which is available.

This weekends theme was the 70’s Penthouse Shoot, stage managed by Artemis Fauna with Carla Monaco, joined by Natasha Bella who was making her first Hacienda appearance.

Our models need no introduction as they are all such beautiful consummate professionals as well as fabulous ladies with whom to while away a few hours.

Notwithstanding the amount that these events raise for charity, the whole experience was very memorable and shooting with Carla makes it extra special.

Lost count of how many times I've shot with Carla but I suspect I've I shot with her more times than I've shot with any other model on PP. There's a good reason for that - She's a bl**dy fantastic model!

Seemingly effortless creative posing. Fantastic model. Lovely lady.

Thank you again Carla. Looking forward to next time.

And thank you for putting up with my silly ideas :)

It was my first shoot with Carla during 70s event at the Hacienda. The entire event was meticulously planned and executed. They have created different themed sets and loads of clothes to go with each set, as well as not to repeat the clothes for the next session.

Carla is so natural and elegant that as photographer, I don't need to worry about anything while shooting her. She is also great to talk to; very humble, soft spoken and enthusiastic. It was lovely working with her and I am looking forward to work with her again, pretty soon.

Very very highly recommended :) :)

Fantastic two day shoot with Carla. As always she was professional and able to respond to a wide range of photographic themes and concepts. I highly recommend Carla as a very talented model enhanced by the fact that she understands photography and techniques. Wendy

Superb shoot with Carla, on Sunday a fine art nude shoot at Trident(studio Hire Plymouth)and today a fun day of portraiture at my own studio. Carla was as always well groomed. She worked tirelessly to help us achieve our visions.

Carla is always a pleasure to work with.

6th or 7th shoot with Carla, I can’t remember…what I do remember is how good she is!!!

On this latest shoot I worked with Carla on a 60’s portfolio builder in Paignton. As ever Carla was an absolute delight to work with, very relaxed, posing effortlessly and her usual chatty self 😊

I really can’t recommend Carla highly enough, her looks, wardrobe and experience brings so much to any shoot.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, photographers if you haven’t worked with her…why not?

Thanks Carla, looking forwards to July (Y)

Lovely to catch up with Carla again at an outdoor flash workshop organised by Chris Conway. She rocked the 60's looks. Such a lovely lady to work with.

Yet another wonderful shoot with Carla, this time at her home.

It goes without saying (see nearly 800 previous references!) that Carla is utterly amazing at what she does, and simply lovely to work with. I'm just going to add that she always brings energy, sparkle and playfulness to her work, and has the knack of making every single shoot feel special. As if you needed more reasons to book her... :-)

Highly recommended. Look forward to the next time.

This was my 16th shoot with Carla - just 2 hours this time at her home in Swindon. I took a number of outfits mainly pretty blouses and used the natural light afforded in the rooms. How can one fail with such a beautiful girl. As a result I have some more images for my 'English Roses' collection. Carla is always delightful to work with in a totally relaxed way and I really enjoy the experience. Only a few more weeks and the next booked shoot with this lovely lady.

Had a wonderful days shooting with Carla at a Yerbury art nude workshop in the midlands. As usual Carla was full of energy and ideas to shoot over the day. Carla worked hard to get the images I was looking for and was a real pleasure to work with.

Highly Recommended :)

Another excellent shoot with Carla! This was on an Art Nude Workshop being run by the Yerburys.

As always, Carla was a pleasure to work with and is a very professional and accomplished model. We created many beautiful images in the grounds of Pipewell Hall. Perfect!

Highly recommended.

What can I say about Carla that hasnt been said or about her reputation that so many know is professional beyond words. Bubbly, easy to shoot with, professional, camera friendly, even iconic for black and white images. A true professional who everyone should have pictures of in their portfolio

Had another great shoot the with fantastic & quite superb Carla, a duo with Angel. Carla oozes professionalism from her fingertips & Carla's bubbly chatty personality adds a great flow & rhythm to a shoot making Carla a true delight to work with. Carla is a model who gives 200% commitment to a shoot & this combined with Carla's creative input adds so much to the success of the project & is highly valued by this photographer. It is as always a pleasure to recommend Carla Very very highly indeed.

Returned last week from 6 days shooting with Carla on a brilliant Artemisian adventure in Tuscany. Such a great model and a dream to spend time with. Our downtime was always fun. We even had someone else making the G&T's this year so Carla got to chill a little bit more. Life's better for knowing Carla, a beautiful and very talented lady. Thanks Carla it was great and you were great. Hope to see you soon.

I arranged a 4 hours one to one training session/shoot with Carla's husband Adrian and her as a preparatory lead in to a photo shoot trip away with a model. It was bespoke training to learn more about making use of natural light outdoors and achieving good quality images mostly with relatively shallow depth of field. Carla modelled superbly throughout the range of sets (lifestyle and fashion including head-shot portraits) in the local neighbourhood and park, demonstrating, as always, her very versatile range of posing skills. I came away from the shoot with fabulous images across the shoot sets and although since then I've been so busy that I've not yet had time to upload any of them onto my portfolio on here I will do soon. Needless to say, Carla is very highly recommended.

Just back from a wonderful six days in Tuscany shooting with Carla. (An Artemisian Luxury Photographic Holiday.)

I've worked with Carla many times before and she is always a joy to work with.

Top model at the very top of her game. If you can't get great images when working with Carla then it's time to hang up your camera ... :)
