An Eye for Beauty

My 4th shoot of 2017 with the lovely Carla - at a new country house hotel location. In spite of the dust storm over the SW from ex-hurricane Ophelia we had a good shoot, though natural light was almost impossible. As always it was thoroughly enjoyable with a really sweet young lady and although quite relaxed and plenty of time for chats and lunch, we got some great shots. Now lucky me - we are already booked to work together again next month!

Working with Carla is like a dream. I took the last couple of hours on her second studio day that she had in Map Studio, Loughborough. Her communications and professionalism is beyond approach. Her poses and contribution are flawless and the two hours just flew past. Without question I will work with her again one day when she returns to the area.

Today I had the opportunity to work with Carla for the second time.

Previously I had worked with her for a single hour and it still remains the most productive hour in my photographic career.

Today I was spoilt; I had two hours at Map Studios

In any profession the elite stand out, and today working with Carla was a pleasure. She is a highly professional model that helps the photographer create quality images that align to their concepts.

Working with Carla is so calm, and you effortless create image, this charming young lady knows her craft, effortless posing and working with you while enjoying the event at the same time

If one hour is not enough, neither are two, next time it will have to be longer

Carla is very very highly recommended to any photographer at any level

I had the pleasure of working with Carla for the second time on her visit to MAP. I can only say it was a real pleasure and a big thank you Carla for some lovely pictures. 3 hrs of natural light pictures created such a variety with ever changing depths of light - but all the outfits fitted the sets and even the occasional 'plastic photobomber' got his picture taken with Carla. Many thanks Carla and see you again in December - that should also be pretty good me thinks :)

Carla and I had a super couple of hours at Map Studios in Loughborough.

She was full of ideas and we worked really well together. We shot a range of fashion, lingerie and nude.

I can’t recommend Carla enough. One of the best. :)

I shot Carla at Map during one of her studio days. My regret is I only had 2 hours as this was such an enjoyable shoot. I think everything has been said in her other references but I would reiterate that her personality is as lovely as she is to photograph. I would also say that if you are new to model photography don't be put off by her popularity and vast experience as this will only work to your benefit and I'm sure you would be left not only with great images but with a positive experience.

Highly recommended to all levels of photographer.

How hard to say anything new about the lovely Carla. Terrific shoot; loved every minute, stunning girl who is as professional as she is charming. Shot many many images and will be very hard pressed to discard any of them. Hope to have the chance to shoot with her again; five stars in my book.

We had our first studio shoot with Carla at MAP studios in Loughborough. Carla was as delightful as ever and posed with our fun props. She then gave us a lovely surprise as she had bought some of her 60s outfits with her and they were absolutely brilliant - as were the hairstyle and other changes she made to totally look the part. We had a huge amount of fun, got some good pictures and the four hours flew by. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again in May.

I've worked with Carla on four occasions now and she has never failed to disappoint. I made a 316 mile round trip for our recent shoot but if the truth be known I would drive a lot further. A beautiful person and a true professional in every sense of the word. Will always be one of my favourite models. A must shoot if she is coming to a town near you. Snooze and you lose.

Impossible to say anything new about Carla after 552 references! So at the risk of repetition….Carla is a fabulous model, possessed of so much natural beauty. Into the mix goes her skill and experience which makes her posing so artful and fluent. A winning cocktail by anyones standard. We shot mostly in the garden of her home in lovely autumn sunshine and it was a pretty relaxed shoot with a few breaks in the 3 hours and a good deal of chatter. My favourite approach to shooting. Nevertheless, I came away with some superb images all down to Carla's quick switch from chilling to composing whenever the shoot resumed. What a model and easily and highly recommended. Already planning our next shoot!

I was lucky enough to book a shoot with Carla at pretty short notice. We made the most of the autumn sunshine shooting in the area around her home and inside using the wonderful soft light from the windows. Working with Carla is pure joy. I think it must be impossible to get a bad picture of her. She is so beautiful and elegant. While shooting her is the easy part, selecting the shots to edit becomes a nightmare - there are so many good ones. Of course Carla is highly recommended, I'm already looking forward to shooting with her again next year.

I had the pleasure of working with Carla again at her Image Red studio day. Absolutely brilliant in every way. Totally professional and extremely skilled but very easy to work with as well. Such a lovely person. Thanks Carla, hope to see and work with you again soon!

Had a fabulous shoot with Carla on her day at Image Red. It had been a while since we shot together but I was so pleased to have been able to do so again. She was well prepared and worked hard to produce the images I was after. We got some amazing results. I absolutely love working with this lady and can't recommend her highly enough! Thanks Carla, hope we work together again soon. X

wow what can i say so talented great to work with an amazing young woman

full of life great fun on set you will love the way she works funny professional

Not sure really what I can add to all of the glowing references that insanely talented model already has, but here goes.

I can think of a more creative way to spend an afternoon than in the company of this young lady. She oozes experience and talent and just flows through the poses and the sets.

So friendly and down to earth, chatty and with a great sense of humour.

Her pre coms are flawless and despite me very vague ideas from the shoot she arrived with everything we could needed and just gave me the most amazing results in the camera.

I could wax lyrical for hours about this lady but I will just say highly recommended and if you don't have a bit of Carla on your port this is something that your really have to sort!!!!!

I hope this will be the first of many times I have the delight of working with such an all round model :)

I've said it all about Carla my 4th shoot with this stunning young lady, Carla rocks every look, poses with ease, professional, funny, fab sense of humour. Carla gives 100% to every set of images, she is happy free styling and taking direction. Carla will set any portfolio on fire she is a must in your port, not my last shoot with this lady, some models just hit the spot every time, I highly recommend Carla to bring something new to your port everytime

Thank you see you soon

I worked with Carla today at JFYP Studio as part of her studio day. All I can say is just . . . amazing! I don't know what I could add on top of 545 other references, but I will say that before I got there I was a little intimidated to be working with such an incredible model. There was no need. Carla is so friendly, so polite, completely down to Earth and just so, so easy to work with. Then there's the effortless posing, the clear understanding photography and what makes a great image, and tons of wardrobe choices. I really cannot speak of her highly enough.

I had a 2 hour 121 with Carla at JFYP studio and its such a pleasure to write this reference :-) We covered some sixties Bardot type looks which she just simply aced, some fashion nude and I also got some fabulous and classy headshots. Carla is an amazing effortless poser and absolutely gorgeous and fun to shoot with, so easy to get along with. Looking to shoot with her again soon and note to self, book more time with her next time. So easy to say she is highly recommended :-)

Thanks very much Carla, best wishes, Ian
