I met Carla at a workshop held by Stefano Bruciano and Adrian Crooks. Carla is an amazing model to work with who requires the minimal of direction leaving you to just shoot away.

Always polite, attentive and easy to get along with and open to trying new ideas and able to put forth her own too.

It's hard to take a bad picture of Carla!

I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again and hope so in the future.

I had a really enjoyable and productive shoot with Carla at Ariane, Tamworth.

Her pre-shoot communication was excellent and she arrived with just what I’d asked for.

She understood what I wanted to achieve and worked with me to get the desired results.

I found Carla to be very warm and approachable throughout the process, to have a great range of appropriate expressions and poses and a knack for finding the light.

I’m very pleased with the images we created and look forward to working with Carla again.

I had a most enjoyable and productive "Home Shoot" with Carla yesterday.

As the weather was fine (bloomin' hot!) we were able to shoot outdoors on the land near her home and in her studio and bedroom set. Carla looks great, is very professional and easy to work with and a pleasure to photograph.

Highly recommended.

I felt put at ease the moment Carla answered the front door, extended her hand to me and showed me in. I found both her and her husband, as well as Stefano whom I am already acquainted with, to be very warm, friendly and very approachable people.

The ideas simply kept on coming. Once again I was extremely happy to be working in a highly conducive setting. Having worked at Stefano's house once before, I really couldn't wait to come back there - plus I had a dream come true working with Carla! She proved herself as an extremely hard worker, a highly versatile model as, for example, she moved from the natural look to a smokey Bardot look.

The shoot was fantastic. Looking back just a few hours later, it just didn't seem real. We couldn't have wished for better weather. Carla is a highly recommended model whom I really can't wait to work with again. We have an expression in my part of South Wales which sums up the shoot - "tidy like innit?!".

I attended a workshop organised by Jon Gray and Carla was one of our models. She is just excellent - totally professional, easy to get on with, and can strike the most beautiful poses. Has lots of ideas for poses and will listen to instruction. Highly recommended.

I look forward to working with Carla again in the future.

I had a really great shoot with Carla this morning at her home.

Carla is a very warm and friendly person and fun to work with.

We got some great images, almost too many to number.

She put up very well with all my props and photographed beautifully.

No doubt I will be calling her again. A great model.

What can I say about this young lady that hasn't been said already? I have photographed Carla on several occasions and have never ceased to be amazed by her beauty, very hard work, reliability and pleasant manner. She is just outstanding. If you haven't worked with her yet, do it! Just too good to miss.

I have had two shoots with Carla both were superb she is as lovely a person to work with as she is to look at I can think of so many good points Carla has but I can sum her up by saying the perfect model.

Highly recommended

A lovely girl in every sense; face, figure and personality. She is one of those rare models who looks as good in the flesh as she looks in her images. As a bonus, she knows what she is doing and poses skilfully and imaginatively. Her pre-shoot communications were good. I cannot fault her and thoroughly recommend her.

I was very lucky to have a shoot with the fabulous Carla at her home today. Double lucky because the weather was really great and we were able to shoot in her extensive garden and grounds.

Carla as the perfect model. Her beauty is beyond compare and she is so easy to work with, Carla needs no direction and makes one feel absolutely relaxed. A genuine Liver Bird.

I thoroughly recommend Carla to you all but, already being one of PP's topmost modes, this is superflous.

Thank you Carla for a truly memorable day. Looking forward to the next time.

I wanted to work with Carla for a long time, and finally managed to arrange a shoot. She is a very friendly person, and it was a great shoot. We managed to do some different kind of shoot and modeling comes to her very easy. She is very natural at this and she can express the emotions without a problem. It was a shoot I enjoyed, and I highly recommend her. Model like Carla makes the process of making beautiful images quite straightforward (and of course with some lighting tips from Adrian :)

Thank you both, it was great working with you.

I was lucky enough to work with Carla on a Yerbury workshop a few months back.

Carla is an experienced model, which is clear when you get to meet and shoot with her. She knows her angles and has a fantastic range of poses. From following Carla's work I know that she has a versatility to work well in a lot of different shooting styles fine art, fashion etc.

During the day itself I witnessed Carla working with photographers of a variety of different levels and was always professional, helpful and ensured that they got exceptional results.

Although personally I'm not normally the biggest fan of workshops due to the reduced one to one time with models unlike arranging your own shoot, I left the day with the mental note to make sure I arranged a shoot with Carla again in the near future. Also as a side note for photographers, I could also wholeheartedly recommend the Yerbury workshops which are excellent, and one of the best I've been on.

I had a wonderful shoot with Carla today at her home.

Carla was a dream to work with. She was very professional and easy to work with.

Added to that, Carla was a very friendly and warm person.

A great model.

I will definitely work with Carla again. Looking through the edits, I think we have got some great pictures.

She was a pleasure to work with.

Two shoots in three days with Carla, first shoot a couple of hours of natural light at her base and the second a half day studio shoot.

Carla is a top professional model who puts 100% into all her shoots, very highly recommended. Carla is a must shoot model and will add to any portfolio.

Thanks for a another great shoot.

I had a lovely shoot with Carla at her current base yesterday. A warm welcome and a cup of coffee awaited me before we had a chat about what I wanted to try and achieve. We shot some indoor images with natural light which is something I'm trying to do more of as well as my usual outdoorsy stuff, both clothed and art nude, and Carla moved effortlessly from pose to pose, giving me so many wonderful images that it'll take me a long time to edit them all! Despite her supermodel looks Carla is totally down to earth, chatty and great company and it was a pleasure to spend time with her and husband Adrian and work with her. If she needs any more recommendations I would urge both experienced and beginners to book her without hesitation. Thanks Carla and I hope to work with you again soon :)

I've been wanting to photograph Carla for such a long time and finally got my chance on Friday, when I travelled to her base in Kemble. Communication pre shoot was great with every thing confirmed etc before the day. I did get lost though 100 yards from her home as I couldn't find it and my phone had no signal so couldn't ring for directions, luckily Adrian spotted me out in the Cul de Sac and directed down the track to the house.

Carla is a fabulous model, down to earth, chatty and enthusiastic. It was not the best weather but Carla happily posed in a soggy meadow and made it look like it was summer :). She has a great range from fashion to art nude. I am very happy with the images I got from the day and would certainly recommend and work with her again :)

Every bit as wonderful as her portfolio suggests you cannot help but take great photos of Carla very friendly we had a nice wonderfully versatile I suppose the best way to describe her would be art nude with a fashion twist I did take more fashion style nudes than I would do normally but from my perspective that is a good thing and cannot recommend her too highly grab her when you can!

I worked with Carla and a second model together with a friend in Amsterdam. We had 2 different locations one for fashion shooting and one erotic. Carla was the full day extremely professional, concentrated and worked hard for us to bring our ideas to live. It was a real pleasure working with her and I will definitely work with her again. If you are looking for a very flexible and beautiful model for fashion as well as erotic she is the one you are looking for.
