My second shoot with Monika and it was as enjoyable as the first. It was like meeting an old friend and we continued from where we left off the first time.

Very friendly, definitely chatty and a terrific model as well.

Monika needs little direction, just let her know what you want to achieve and she'll run through a gambit of various poses.

I have no hesitation in recommending Monika to all.

Female Art Nudes

Had a great shoot with Monika today! :-)

We arranged things well in advance and Monika travelled up to Scotland by train, having double-checked with me about clothing requirements well in advance.

Monika usually shoots indoors, so my request for a full day of location art nude was not something she does all the time. However, she was certainly game, starting at 4am and working hard outdoors without once complaining about the cold!

Our first location was a stone breakwater at the seaside, at 5am, and the wind was really blowing. There was one slight grimace from her that I noticed and then she gamely shed her clothes and started posing on the cold concrete, only a few feet from the sea. I have to admire her for that!

We then moved on to some rocks near a lighthouse and an old stone ruin. Monika seemed to love the locations (certainly a change for her, from some of her city-centre apartment shoots). She was full of energy and loved the outdoors.

After stopping for breakfast (point of reference for other photographers: she now loves potato "tattle" scones) ;-) we moved on to a beach location. After quite a long walk, upon seeing the extensive sandy beach and a variety of possibilities, you simply couldn't stop her: posing, climbing, cartwheeling, handstands - we had the works :-)

This was my second shoot with Monika, the first being an apartment shoot. I loved working with her. She has a great, can-do attitude, is game for most things, is happy to make suggestions herself (presently, she is particularly keen on handstands!), isn't afraid of hard work, and is a real pleasure to be with and simply chat to!

So, thanks for a great shoot, Monika. I really look forward to working with you again :-)

A great shoot with Monika, she has a great personality and fab to work with, she did her hair and makeup well and had a good range of poses to work with but also was happy to listen to direction. Would def try to work with her again when she is next up this way again.

I had the great pleasure to spend time with this great talented model, it was a group shoot, but I was amazed by her performance mood positions in fact everything, I must have watched her all through the day, (neglected the other lovely model) on the shoot, ne

Ed to apologise, but have to say Monica is now top of my favorites, can't wait to shoot wit her again

Just had my first shoot with Monika @ Pauls Studio and wow, what a shoot! We have the same sense of humour so managed to shoot both some very cool silhouette style art nude images and then a range of less series fun ideas. I didn't get to learn any Polish :( but I did have a very pleasant, creative studio shoot. Guess the Polish will have to wait for a future shoot so I'd best get on and organise that!

I think I'm mad! 6 shoots with the same model in less than a year and I'm still looking forward to next time.

My previous references for Monika have said it all already. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm mad. I think I'll write something sensible next time. Or maybe it'll be about my experiences in the infatuation asylum.

Just book her! You won't regret it.

I had the good fortune to shoot the beautiful Monika Lara Smith on her London tour.We did the shoot at her Apartment which was an excellent choice, although i had shoot with her several time she maintained a professional approach from our pre comm and during the shoot. She is a fantastic model to work with as she is easy to get on with and have lots of energy and ideas which makes for a productive shoot.

I would like to work with her again. Highly recommend.

Thank you Monika for a wonderful shoot.

I had my first shoot with Monika on Monday and I'm delighted with the images we created.

Not only is Monika exactly as advertised, but her professionalism, personality & humour makes her extremely easy to work with.

Her range of poses seemed endless & creative, forming great shapes throughout.

Communication was excellent.

Monkia can only be recommended, she's one of the best models I've met, & I certainly will be working with her again.

Another great shoot with Monika. My fourth, in fact. Monika always responds well to any ideas I bring - no matter how ridiculous they sound when I try to explain them! The shoot, as always, was a lot of fun, and we always achieve something new and unexpected. Looking forward to shoot No5.

I have shot several times this year now with Monika.

She is always a friendly and flexible model to work with, full of energy and inventive poses.

Always travels with a planet sized suitcase jam packed with assorted things which could easily last several shoots.

I am happy to recommend Monika and would be happy to work with her again in the future.

Soulful Sculptor

She is one of the very best model you can find in the UK! An avant-garde class model!

Today was my second shoot with Monika and the time just passed by has she is a joy to work with, I will hopefully get to work with her again but sadly not until well into next year, when hopefully we will have a good summer so we can work outside.

Thank you again for a shoot that was fun and for trying new things, by the way the Professor says you will always be top of his class A++.

I answered a casting by Monika in Birmingham, we exchanged contact detail pre-shoot and discussed what I intended to shoot, sending sample images across to her.

Pre-comms before and on shoot day were excellent. I turned up slightly earlier than expected, Monika was cool about that.

Wow first impressions, Monika is beautiful as well as coming across very friendly and enthusiastic. She also complemented me on my fragrance which was nice.

We connected off the bat, banter never stopped, in fact I thought I could talk for England, Monika takes that trophy lol. Monika was very hospitable asking me several times if I wanted to eat or drink anything throughout the shoot.

Monika posses effortlessly and takes direction to, very professional mixed in with the ability to have a laugh is a rare attribute. Although I didn’t take as many pictures as I was expecting partly due to myself non-stop chatting, the images I did take were pretty good.

I am looking forward to working with Monika again and would highly recommend her.

Thanks for a great shoot x

Monika is one of those models you just want to shoot with again and again. She is such a vivacious and engaging person to work with, full of ideas and always with a new place to shoot if you catch her on tour. She's happy to try out new stuff (this time we dabbled in a bit of pinup) and has the amazing knack of changing her look completely with the twist of her hair or different facial expression. I cannot recommend this young lady highly enough. Thanks Monika for another great shoot.

I had a brilliant shoot with Monika, I was fairly new to one to one photoshoots and Monika was the perfect model to work with. Incredibly friendly, creative and professional Monika needed no direction and made me feel totally relaxed she has a brilliant creative mind and is stunningly beautiful, I owe a lot to this photoshoot in giving me the confidence to move forward in my photography and that's down to Monika, the images we produced were very provocative and sexy and artistic, I would wholeheartedly recommend Monika to work with any photographer she is stunning and Dziękuję Ci Monika x
