What can you add to what 782 people have said before you, nothing so I'll just emphasise. I booked myself on the 1.2.1 training that Carla does with Adrian and it has to be the most productive four hours I have had in photography. Carla has a natural beauty poses effortlessly and is really friendly and helpful. I have been taking pictures for 40 years but you are never too old to learn. I got some great shots and knowledge of how to achieve them using just one light in a confined space. Highly recommended, Carla and her training. Great value.

Thank you Carla and Adrian.

Carla has to be one of the best models that you could possibly hope to work with. Being stupid, I left it 2 years since our last shoot and realised how dumb that was as soon as I took my first shot yesterday. Carla has the most stunning look and effortless grace to her work which means that even a numpty like me can get some half-decent results. She is fab to work with - we ran though a wide variety of looks during the day and Carla worked really hard to help me get the best out of our time together - just a great shoot with a great person.

3rd time I have had the pleasure of working with Carla. This time at a small group shoot covering Femme Fatale theme at Carla and Adrian's studio. Carla always looks immaculate, and seems to pose effortlessly, although I'm sure a lot of work has gone into this. Adrian organised the lighting and it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Both of them make you feel very much at home, and are very friendly and professional.

Thankyou both.

I recently had my first shoot with Carla. I attended a group shoot arranged by Carla and Adrian covering Femme Fatale. Carla is a stunning model, she has natural beauty and a great figure. I found her very easy to work with. Both Carla and Adrian are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend them both.

Many Thanks

I worked with Carla for the first time recently on a duo booking at Pozers Studio with Banjoboy in Swindon. I had been a fan of Carlas work for a few years but hadn't plucked up the courage to work together, so it was amazing to be approached for a duo shoot and I lept at the opportunity to work together!

~~~~~~~~Carla is a supermodel;~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stunning, elegant, graceful and a thoroughly kind and approachable person to work with. I forgot all about my nerves very quickly and had a blast!

We contrasted each other perfectly and I found the day shooting together effortless and extremely enjoyable. The results looked absolutely beautiful.

Carla is an absolute dream to shoot with and deserves every success- she is a very successful model but equally very humble and sincere, which are rare qualities to find.

I really hope we get the opportunity to work together again, it was such a pleasure.

The very highest recommendation to all,

Carla was amazing to work with. Being extremely kind and open to all my ideas as I walked into her house. She is very professional with poses and require a small amount of direction. I am fairly new to doing fashion and Carla was more than happy to help me out with main decisions.

She definitely gets a high recommendation by me.

Banjoboy

Writing a reference is a particular joy in order to say thank you for a great shoot.

Well, I have just had the shoot of the century with the lovely Carla Monaco, Helen Diaz and hosted by the inimitable Alley Stallard at PoZers Studio.

Carla is, of course, Carla and needs no further glorification from me. Suffice to say that this beautiful young lady is top of the tree and I have no hesitation in endorsing all those numerous references already posted on her behalf.

Thank you, Carla, for a truly memorable day.

I had been following the work of Carla for some time, and she was on my WLTWW list.

As soon as I saw Carla was booked for a model day at AURA Studio, I booked the first 2 hours of her day.... so pleased I did! 4 hours would have been even better... but life gets in the way.

Carla is such a natural beauty, as her portfolio shows. A real joy to work with, poses just flow, with or without direction. Any genre, style or look , Carla nails them all! I could not ask for more!

I can totally recommend Carla, and am looking forward to working with Carla again as soon as she is this area.

Thank you Again Carla, for such a productive, creative shoot. xx

I finally got the chance to work with Carla, her having been on my "want to work with" list for absolutely ages! She was every bit as great to work with as I hoped - happy to pose herself or work with my suggestions, patient while I was setting up the lights and with a full wardrobe of outfits to choose from.

Especially impressive was how friendly and good-natured she was, considering I was the last photographer on a Sunday evening when she'd had a very busy weekend on tour! An absolute pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend her to any photographers!

I’d like to take just a moment to thank Carla for an amazing shoot! After some friendly pre-comms, we met at Aura Studio in Newmarket for a 2-hour long session, and MY GOODNESS were we ever productive!!! Carla was able to intuit exactly what I was hoping to capture (no small feat, considering my inexperience), and deliver in spades. Her ability to simply melt between poses, change her entire look in just a few minutes, and keep up a witty banter at the same time was incredible. She made me feel at ease and was kind as I fumbled through multiple settings and lenses, and floated through different sets and lighting as if each one was designed just for her. I have no regrets whatsoever, and would gladly work with her again at any time!

Oh yes, it’s a highly recommend from me!

I worked with Carla again on her Sixties and Model days at Aura Studio, and although it's been a while since our last shoot, it was like meeting a good friend once again. Her professionalism, ability and beauty is near legendary, backed up by a wonderful down to earth manner and friendliness.

Carla rocked the Sixties vibe, with brilliant outfits, and even managed a convincing Shrimpton lookalike! Our Model day was just as exciting, when Carla wore a couple of dresses I had bought along, and we created some great shots with some film nourish shadows, and art nude bodyscape lighting.

If Carla is still on your 'must shoot with' list, then don't hesitate, she is totally amazing. Thanks for a fantastic couple of shoots Carla : )

I had my first shoot with the legendary Carla - Simply one of the best models out there, fantastic to work with and she will make your portfolio look even better. Friendly and a master of her craft.

Highly recommend, and I will be more than happy to work with Carla again.

Yet another magical experience with Carla at a studio lighting workshop led by the brilliant Kris Karl.

Kris first introduced me to this stunningly beautiful lady and the rest is history, as we’ve notched up several truly memorable shoots since.

I look forward to our next shoot in the summer.

Wow! Had a session with Carla at Pozers Studio in Swindon. The moment I entered the studio Carla's warm welcome banished this newbies nerves. She was a delight to work with. Nothing was to much much trouble. She answered questions, was very patient when things I wanted to try didn't quite work, giving great suggestions and much welcome advice and how together we might get the shot I was looking for. With Alley at Pozers teaching me more about studio lighting and Carla modelling I had a fantastic day and learnt a lot. Thanks Carla you were great

PoZersPhotography

PoZer's hosted a collection of studio hours with Carla last week, and as always, it was a total pleasure. Carla was booked by one of my regular photographers in the morning, and one of PoZer's new family members in the afternoon, and both sessions were a dream with Carla, as always. Carla is a stunning young lady, and PoZer's is truly blessed to have her so close to the studio now, as more photographers are booking her at PoZer's and that couldn't make me happier. Carla is kind, caring, patient and fun to work with, from beginner to professional, Carla is hands down the perfect model for you all. I don't really know what to say about Carla, how do you beat any of her references, how do you beat perfection ? It's impossible. No matter what kind of model your looking for, from portrait to fashion, lingerie to artistic nude, Carla is your girl, every photographer who has ever walked through the door at PoZer's, has had nothing more than a zillion percent amazing things to say about Carla, and as a photographer, I am truly blessed to have shot her, and this week one of our images together is getting published in a magazine, my first publication is with Carla Monaco, that's something I will never forget, thank you Carla, your truly a pure and flawless diamond in this industry, and it's my pleasure to work with you.

FINALLY managed to work with Carla.

She was everything I imagined she'd be and then some.

The total professional,models effortlessly and obviously loves her work.

If you ever have an opportunity to shoot her,do not hesitate.

Would highly recommend to any photographer and hope she allows me further opportunities.

My thanks for a great day (AT LONG BLOODY LAST).

I doubt that I will ever tire of shooting with Carla.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting a whole host of art-nude single and duo sets during a wonderful half-day with Artemis Fauna and An Eye for Beauty. Carla is so very accomplished in this genre, and with the most minimal of guidance she bought every one of my ideas beautifully to life within a few shots, and then exceeded them! She is a dream to work with, and always a pleasure to catch up with.

A truly lovely shoot all round yesterday, and I very much look forward to the next one. In the mean time, I highly recommend Carla to all!

An Eye for Beauty

Yesterday I enjoyed a shoot with Carla and Artemis Fauna at the latter's home in Malmesbury, along with Somersetman. We did some 1:1 and some duo, and it was a lovely relaxed 4 hours. This was my 15th shoot with Carla and I can never have enough creative time with her. It was the first shoot of 2019 but certainly won't be the last. Carla is such a delightful person and I feel really at ease with her, and of course we produced some lovely images in (for me) a new context. She has that sweet 'girl next door' temperament, but while that is one of her many looks she is a model of many and varied expressions, and never fails to deliver. Until next time, Carla.
