Second shoot with Carla, this time as a group shoot in Plymouth Studio Hire where she effortlessly changed from 60's fashion to Hollywood glamour to lingerie to sultry sexy to art nude, all in the space of a couple of yours. Carla makes it all look so easy and has a natural, timeless beauty that suits so many genres. She is also a delight to work with, being warm, natural, helpful and approachable. All in all a joy to work with.

Took part in a group shoot and found Carla to be down to earth, friendly and very likeable, yet poised and elegant for the whole 3 hours we were with her. She has a lovely natural but classically timeless look that is so easy to capture. Thank you.....it was a pleasure x

I had the great pleasure to work with Carla once more this time we ventured onto a location shoot focused on Fashion with design wear from a local Designer ID Fashion. Carla was Carla always smiling, amazing model to work with, she always ticks all the boxes and works extremely hard but displaying grace as if the poses are natural, she is a model that i can't fault and would always be pleased to work with. An outstanding model and well worth booking.

What can I say about Carla Monaco?, well after my first studio shoot I came away with no illusions about her camera presence. She is stylish, with real Hollywood glitz and glamour. Her looks remind me of Bardot, so very captivating. Her work flow is effortless and Carla carried us the whole time. You buckle up, start shooting and enjoy the ride. Highly recommended and would love to shoot Carla again.

Not the best kept secret, but Carla is the ideal combination of serenity, patience and beauty, that any photographer could wish for. It was a considerable pleasure to be able to shoot her, together with Artemis Fauna, in a variety of settings and genres, in my home. She brings a wealth of experience and ability to a shoot and is exceptionally good company as well. I would certainly recommend her to any photographer and certainly hope to work with her again.

This was my second time working with Carla: she modelled for a fine art photography workshop at my studio. Again, I couldn't be happier with how things went. Carla is creative and easy to work with, the looks were amazing and the workshop attendees loved working with her. Really looking forward to seeing her again soon, and of course she comes very highly recommended!

Spent a fantastic 4 hours training with Carla and Adrian last week. They were both fantastic to work with and extremely patient, what a team. Carla’s skills as a model need no endorsement from me, she truly knows her game, and was happy to share tips with me about working more effectively with models myself. I would love to work with Carla again and if you haven’t yet done so you should.

Carla stepped in at rather short notice to take part in another period costume shoot I had arranged. Already last year she had done 'Regency' and 'Edwardian' shoots, and this time it was the 'Roaring Twenties'. Superb images again, and she quickly changed through 7 costumes in 4 hours and managed to look fresh and authentic each time. I never cease to be amazed how she can create just the right look both in terms of hair style and expression. So far this lovely lady has enabled me to create three different Blurb photo-books - a lasting reminder of some wonderful shoots. This time was no exception.

Spent the afternoon with Carla on a home shoot, with a focus on natural light shots.Carla was full of enthusiasm and also contributed with some great ideas, being keen to ensure I made best use of my time. It was great fun, very relaxed and the resulting images were excellent. Highly recommended.

I photographed Carla for the first time at a 60's themed group shoot at PurePreston and wow she is certainly the best model I've ever worked with.

She is naturally beautiful, with a timeless look that gives her amazing versatility and she is extremely confident and professional. She has a lovely aura and is incredibly poised and composed whilst modelling making it virtually impossbile to take a bad shot!

With a lovely relaxed, down-to-earth nature, she was also very patient with me and suggested shot ideas of her own which i appreciated a lot :-)

An amazing model who can't be recommended enough..Thankyou Carla :-)

One of the easiest references to write - BRILLIANT. Carla's communication before the shoot was excellent and even on the morning sent a travel update text!

As always, her hair and make-up was done to a very high standard, her clothing and accessories are first class.

She welcomes ideas, new concepts and develops your ideas with enormous flare. She has an enormous repertoire of ideas, poses and loves to extend and experiment.

Carla is a lady that every pose must be a winner. Carla is great fun to be with, lovely sense of humour and interesting to chat with. She has a wonderful technique of making you feel comfortable and helps to create the best possible images.

As others have said, a must to work with and I am looking forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended for every level of photographer.

My 11th shoot with Carla and the first of 4 planned for this year. I began with an hour of lighting tuition with Adrian, combining natural light with softbox fill, and then spent the rest of the shoot using those principles to achieve some really beautiful lit images of Carla. She never disappoints and I really enjoy working with her, always so relaxed and down to earth, but with that elegant beauty which is her trademark. I will see you again shortly, Carla, and thanks again.

Carla is perhaps the most naturally beautiful model that I have worked with. Extremely versatile, experienced and has a never ending mastery of many genre's.

I don't know if the clothes Carla had were the genuine 1960's but they certainly looked that way and Carla nailed each shot perfectly. Very chatty and easy to work with I look forward to working with Carla again in the (hopefully) not too distant future..

Fantastic shoot with Carla, who really is a wonderfully attractive and easygoing model. As an amateur, I found her easy to work with, friendly and proactive. Highly recommended.

I worked again with Carla today at Pure in Preston. Carla is a true professional - communications, reliability and her modelling skills. A very successful day. Carla is a very pleasant model to work with who works with you to achieve your ideas and planned photographs. Highly recommended.

It was great to shoot with Carla. Carla is really friendly and easy to get on with. Her experience as a model was invaluable as she was able to create beautiful poses either without direction or with some input from me. Thanks to her large wardrobe we were able to shoot a variety of styles in our time together.

Easy to recommend to others.

When I saw Carla was in my area again it was a no-brainer that I would book her. The weather was difficult with snow and sub-zero temperatures but this beautiful lady certainly brightened the day. She is a truly exceptional model and we covered portraiture, fashion and nude work with plenty of breaks for Carla to get warm. I am delighted with the images we produced, the modelling was incredible as it always is with Carla and she is very highly recommended. A top, top model. Thank you Carla for a great shoot.

It was a pleasure to work with Carla when she was in my area recently. She is a fabulous model versatile and creative, posed superbly and on the occasion of asking, took direction perfectly. A true professional. Look forward to working with her again.

it was my privilege and pleasure to shoot with Carla as part of a mini group shoot with her and Adrian. She had several changes of attire and different looks. Carla went through a seamless repertoire of poses. She is a true professional.

I thoroughly recommend her and hope to be able to shoot with her again in the future.
