Carla was our model for photographic course (holiday) I go to annually at Studio-Lavalette in rural France. I was excited to meet Carla as it was first time of going where I hadn't already known the model. I've admired her work from afar and we finally got the opportunity of shooting together. Carla was absolutely manifique and suited the settings well. She is obviously one of the best, working with her on a one-to-one, and she was faultless. We had some challenging conditions, but she just got on with the job in the manner you would expect from this experienced calibre of model. We also had time over the weekend to enjoy Carla's company socially. The whole experience was fantastic, made easy by Carla's modelling abilities and her natural friendly charm.

I have now worked with Carla twice in the last couple of month's. The first was on my 60th Birthday at her home in Wiltshire... the second, was last weekend at Studio-Lavalette in France. Carla is one of the finest professional models working at the moment. The light and weather was challenging at times, but Carla moved from set to set and pose to pose effortlessly with style and grace.

Carla is not only a great and charming model... socially she is a pleasure to be with and we had great fun and laughter over the four days. Highly Recommended! Hopefully we will see more of each other this year!

My third shoot with Carla and each time I work with her I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from a wonderful dream! This time we shot some inspiring art nude on Pauls Studio Wales weekender event inside a barn and outside against a fallen tree. Not obviously inspiring (or comfortable) locations but Carla just rocked and made by ideas come alive.

Thanks Carla, look forward to shooting you again.

I have worked with Carla on several location shoots in Wales organised by Paul’s Studio and have never failed to be impressed by her professionalism and ability to produce many different poses over a wide range of genres. She is the portrait, fashion, art nude, beauty, lifestyle and fitness model par excellence and never fails to produce superb images. She is great fun to work with and I look forward to my next shoot with her.

Carla and I have worked together in the past with great success. This shoot was all about fashion and Carla delivered fashion with style for me.

In the 4 hours we managed to cover a number of different looks in different locations. Some classic vogue images some dreamy countryside images topped off with some edgy fashion.

Great model and an amazing person cant say anymore.

I was uber excited when I found out that I would finally be meeting the beautiful Carla Monaco, but not only that working alongside her in Venice!

She is such a lovely person inside and out, even organising a hotel in London for us the night before our flight and picking up wine and dinner for us with me arriving to the hotel later than she did.

It was such a pleasure spending a few days with her and working with her in such stunning locations, and her modelling is second to none!!

Truly beautiful, and great company - you'd be mad not to book her :)

Hope to work with her again one day!

Had my second shoot with Carla but my first one to one :) what a pleasure to work with her agin. I had some ideas I wanted to try and Carla assisted with her knowledge and experience. She is so easy to get along with and helpful. Turned up on time to the studio and is fun, bubbly and stunning, what more can I ask for. Thank you Carla :)

I unexpectedly got a day off work and noticed that Carla was modelling at Adrian Pini's studio, having worked on a group shoot with Carla before I knew she was a great model so I knew it would be a good way to spend my day off.

I took some props and ideas with me which I discussed briefly with Carla and she nailed each one with her usual professionalism and easy going attitude, the time passed quickly but I was very pleased with our achievements. I have often heard people say "You cant take a bad picture of this model" Well this is certainly the case with Carla she makes a photographers job easy and will always produce fab images for you, Carla is up there with the best.

First time meeting Carla this week and after seeing her extensive portfolio on PP and website , I can now see why she is such a great model. After just a few sample images I sent her prior to the shoot, she totally got the style I was looking to shoot and after a couple of hours I was really pleased with the final images from the afternoon.

Carla is totally professional , puts you at ease and has incredible eye contact and expression with the camera and with all her years experience modelling I will defiantly be seeing Carla again . Thanks for a great afternoon Carla.

Had my first shoot with Carla today, having reviewed her portfolio a number of times i finally plucked up courage to book her and what a pleasure. I had a great day and she made me feel very welcome, Carla needed little direction which is good because this is something i am still trying to get to grips with.

Carla is a first class model and i can't recommend enough, i will be defiantly be booking Carla again as long as she is happy to work with me agin, great day, great pre comms i can't thank her enough

Thanks for a great day

Had the great pleasure of working with Carla at her home in Wiltshire. It was my 60th birthday, the sun was out and the bluebells were in full bloom. What a wonderful present! Carla is the consummate model... fashion, lifestyle, art nude or girl next door, all styles equally carried off in professional poise. Everyone on PurplePort should put her in their "Want to Work with folder"... the images will make your portfolio sing!

Carla came to our studio today and without doubt she is one fantastic , amazing model. She arrived on time and we had a most enjoyable 3 hour shoot , where we covered boudoir, fashion and some art nude.

She takes direction extremely well and adds her own poses to the session which is most welcome.

She is a very pleasant and engaging young model who I have no hesitation in recommending and I look forward to the opportunity of working with her again

She looks stunning in the pics. Thank you x

What an amazing talent! Working with JRT at his studio Carla was our Muse for the day to captivate the Era of the Black and white Vintage shoot. She knew the style and just fell into the required pose. - some of the best shots I have ever taken. Thank you - Would recommend always and hope that we will work together again soon.

A second shoot within a few days with Carla. This time at her home and in the fields around. Some great locations (and weather!) to compliment this most amazing of models. Thank you, Carla and I hope we can schedule some other season shoots over the coming months to make the most of those fields around you. Fabulous day and love the results.

Worked with Carla at Paul's Studio on 19th March, what a lovely model Carla is. She has great looks, is extremely helpful in trying to achieve what you're aiming for and has some good ideas. She came up with some lovely poses and she is so friendly and easy to work with. My time with Carla just flew by and I am looking forward to working wth her again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carla and if you get the chance to work with her don't miss the opportunity.

When I spotted an opportunity to work with Carla for the first time I jumped at the chance.

Despite my home made wonky contraption of a lighting rig and no real idea what I was doing Carla was patient and enthusiastic to work with and together we achieved shots that are beyond my expectations.

We finished the shoot with some classic nude lighting and Carla really showed how professional and indeed effortless she can pose.

Thank you Carla for an all to short 2 hour booking, great stuff!

I worked with Carla on a group shoot last year so natural sized the opportunity to shoot a studio solo with her @ Pauls Studio. I wanted to focus on art nude and a lingerie scene for which Carla delivered a series of excellent poses, making my job so much easier. We captured some beautiful images and I only which we could have gone on longer. I hope to work with Carla again later in the year on some locations shoots: I’m already envisioning ideas. Carla is fun to work with and easy to build a rapport with. If you haven’t worked with her then make it a priority to book her!

Had a great shoot with Carla on a studio day at Paul's studio. She was fun to work with, easy going, tolerant of my inexperience, patient whilst I experimented with the lighting, able to pose exactly how I asked for as well as coming up with great poses of her own, professional throughout and willing to let me try stuff out. I definitely hope to work with her again.

I booked 2 hours with the amazing Carla at Paul’s Studio Reading on one of her model days - I should have booked 10 hours! Working with Carla was pure pleasure, she is fun, professional, creative and of course very beautiful and understood exactly how to get the very best from every set up. Thank you Carla for such an enjoyable and successful shoot, I am delighted with the results and shall look forward to the next time.

My vocabulary won't allow me to add anything to Carla's excellent and well-deserved references. Everything she does from her communication to her make up and modelling is utter perfection in every respect. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced this planet of ours.
