I had a fantastic shoot with Carla on Friday. All on location in the fields and woodlands surrounding her house.

Pre-shoot comms were great and she took the time to properly look through the ideas I had sent and was fully prepared when I arrived. We discussed what specific sets I wanted to try and she directed me to the best locations for each image :-)

She's fun, open and has an amazing attitude towards modelling, working really hard to help create outstanding images. Along with a beautiful and classic look Carla has great balance and posture and was up to all challenges I'd set :-) When needed she follows direction well and naturally flows from one look to another around the theme you are working on.

Carla is also full of ideas and is able to put her own spin on things and suggested outfits that always enhanced the shot :-)

She's a very versatile model as well. I could well imagine that after another half a dozen shoots we could still find different things to try out and I will definitely be booking her again :-)

Very highly recommended.

Thanks Carla.

With my first shoot at Saracen House I was delighted how at ease Carla made me. She was friendly and very professional helping with ideas which provided some wonderful shots. A lovely lady who made the experience both easy and worthwhile. I'd love to work with Carla again sometime.

I booked a 3 hour slot on Carla's model day at Saracen House. Pre shoot communication was excellent and she brought items that I had requested. She was friendly,engaging and helpful at all times. She posed seamlessly and imaginatively always working for the best shots.

Carla did a range of fashion, beauty and boudoir sets and excelled in all three.

Carla is clearly a great model, very professional and encouraging of my efforts.

As previous references have stated she comes very highly recommended.

I would love to work with Carla again sometime.

Thanks Carla.

I managed to choose the hottest day of the year for this photoshoot with Carla! Conditions were challenging with the harsh lighting and extreme heat, but we managed to cover a large range of different style during the shoot and achieved some lovely images. As always, Carla was excellent - very professional, easy to work with and had lots of ideas.

I've worked with Carla several times now, and the results are always top notch.

Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of a great shoot with Carla and Zoi at Pipewell Hall last week.

I’ve shot with both before, and they fully lived up to expectations and provided great shots.

Pipewell’s a fantastic venue with so many rooms and gardens, and the hospitality was wonderful!

I can’t recommend Carla and Zoi highly enough!

So after nearly 2 years since our last shoot I managed to get time to shoot with the lovely Carla again today. The weather was really kind to us today and managed to do the whole shoot outside in the lovely Wiltshire countryside location. Carla is great to work with, shot a whole lot of summer fashion styles and really pleased with the results. Would definitely recommend Carla to anyone.

Carla was a model for 10 days on our photo-safari in Algarve.

As a person and as a model she is just pure class. Everybody on the trip loved Carla. She could not have put in more effort and was the perfect choice, beautiful, friendly, well mannered and effortlessly elegant.

My only regret is I didn't manage to shoot with Carla other than behind the scenes. The highest compliment I can pay Carla is she is one of the very few models I would want to shoot just for the sake of it.

I went on the 2017 photographic trip to the Algarve at the end of May, organised by Artemis Fauna and with Carla as the second model, and Iain T as the support member of the group. This was my second luxury Portugal shoot with Artemis Fauna and Iain T. I had worked with Carla in Glasgow 4 years previously and I jumped at joining this year's shoot when Artemis told me that Carla was the second model this year. Carla is the perfect model for a location shoot working with four photographers and at different locations. She is thoroughly professional, adaptable, patient, and a delight to work with. We had three days superb shooting and many equally superb images have been obtained. Carla was very good company, sociable and contributed to an excellent, and memorable holiday shoot. Carla is to be recommended without reservation as one of the best models on the circuit, but you all knew that already.

I returned from Portugal nearly a week ago now where I had the pleasure to work with Carla on the Artemis Fauna luxury trip. I've left it so long to allow myself time to come back down to earth. The last time I worked with Carla we were freezing to death in some woods in Wiltshire. (Well actually I was wearing a big coat and it was Carla that was freezing.) This time the circumstances were totally different with 3 days of glorious sunshine. Carla was a joy to be around. Not only is she a superb and beautiful model but she has an infectious personality leading to an almost instant rapport. A lovely lady. She also mixes a mean Gin & Tonic.

Hope to see you again soon Carla and thanks for everything.

Carla's a first class model with great looks, poses, make up & costumes, she's a bit of an actress and easily adopted different character roles.This was the first time I'd met her, but it quickly felt as if we'd known each other for ages. She's witty and great to talk with when off duty, on duty our shoots were fast and fabulous. Thanks for some special images. Hopefully we'll meet again.

Artemis Fauna

I'm so glad Carla said yes to joining me on the Luxury All-Inclusive Photographic trip we hosted. She was perfect :)

We are the dreamteam! Every second of every day away was amazing. Carla brought loads of enthusiasm, happiness and fab clothes (and more)

Everyone was over the moon with their images, duo and solo- the compliments we both got when modelling together was also lovely-! We looked fab together and looking through the back of camera's together we nailed so many looks- I'm soooo happy :) :)

The time outside of 'work' was also great. Sipping on G+T's, chatting, laughing with all the guys and gals- what more could you want.

I really can't wait for our future trips together and the fact we will be neighbors very soon too!!

Thank you so so much, Carla! See you again soon :) ♥

Fantastic three day shoot with Carla (and Artemis Fauna) in the Algarve recently.

Artemis and Ian T organised the event and Carla and Artemis modelled separately and as a duo during with great effect.

Carla is great fun to work with, a very experienced and professional model, with style and poise.

We shot on the beach, Helmut Newton style in town at night, David Hamilton inspired in orange groves and in a few derelict places as well as in and around the sumptuous villa that was our base for the all too brief stay. Great images produced and always a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend Carla highly enough!

Amazing three day shoot with the gorgeous Carla and Artemis Fauna in the Algarve last week :-)

Artemis and Ian T organised the event and Carla and Artemis modelled separately and as a duo during the delightful days that we spent with them.

Carla is an exquisite model with such grace, style and poise that it would be hard not to come away with great images!

We shot on the beach, in town at night to create some Helmut Newton inspired images, in orange groves and in derelict places as well as in and around the sumptuous villa that was our home for our all too brief stay.

I can't recommend Carla highly enough!!

Thank you Carla. Poppy fields nearer to home soon I hope :-) :-)

We shot with Carla during a 3 day photography holiday in Portugal in early June 2017. She created very many excellent shots in a variety of locations and styles including nude and outfits suitable to the style and whether working alone or with the other model. She was responsive to the photographer’s ideas but also imaginative and stylish when not directed. She was also a delight to spend the “off duty” holiday time with. We look forward to working with her again.

I have worked with Carla a number of times but this last week in Portugal with Carla and Artemis Fauna has been absolutely fantastic...

She is such a professional model and has been exceptional in her poses, ranging from headshots, fashion, boho, art nude, even managed to take some stunning video...

Plenty of giggles, laughs and silly faces. I didn't want to come home...

Looking forward to shooting again around September time ...

Carla was the other model on Artemis Fauna's luxury trip to Portugal. I'd worked with her once before and was really looking forward to this trip. Not surprisingly, I was not disappointed. She always manages to look like a film star at any time of the day. She is a dream to work with and was fabulous company for the rest of the time. I really hope to come up with some really good ideas to shoot with this absolute star again - the images from from this trip are going to be difficult to match.

Fantastic model - thankyou so much :)

I had the wonderful pleasure of being part of a group working with Carla (and Artemis Fauna) on a 3 day photographic venture in the Algarve from 25th May to 28th May. Carla is a superb, very experienced & capable model and, along with Artemis, managed to encompass a huge number of styles from classic art-nude to high fashion. The group worked in a large number of quite diverse locations (see my reference for Artemis about these) and at all times Carla put a great amount of effort into ensuring each photographer achieved first rate results. Not one to shy away from messy or dilapidated buildings either Carla bravely endured rubbish and debris strewn buildings and soot grimed walls and fireplaces.

In addition to being a model Carla is also a very delightful, chatty, warm and engaging person and good company during the times we weren't taking pictures.

Carla is very high recommended.

Thanks for a lovely time in the Algarve,

John

3 of us worked with Carla in the AltoStratus penthouse. This was my fourth session with her. Beautiful as always, she was very helpful and a great pleasure to be with. 4 hours just flew by. And of course that faint scouse accent is most intriguing.

I had been trying to find the opportunity to photograph Carla one to one for a long time but it proved well worth the wait. I was somewhat anxious of shooting someone with such a pedigree but she is a real joy to work with. Very easy going and not at all a diva.

Her artistic interpretation was second to none and we achieved some lovely, special images.

Thank you Carla for a great shoot.

I had the good fortune of shooting gorgeous Carla in a luxurious London penthouse, albeit choked with lots of furniture, with two photographer friends. As always, she was most fantastic and highly creative in her modeling. I Love working with Carla. Would I recommend her? YES YES YES.
