I had fantastic photo-session with Monika at Sandon Studio Weekend event.

I personaly wanted to create as sensual, as natural and vibrant, as feminine and artistic as possible nude art with Monika.

It was a greate pleasure to work with such a beautiful and natural person like Monika.

I hope that I would be able to book another work with her this year again.

Thank you for very nice and productive time.

My third time working with this remarkable young lady and all ready booked in shoot number 4. Monika agreed to meet me in Birmingham where we had booked an Airbnb for the shoot. I can’t stress how nice a person Monika really is and you definitely won’t have a boring shoot. this amazing young lady is so much fun to be around and has so much enthusiasm for the shoot.

Monika always comes with amazing outfits and lingerie and lots of them and guaranteed to look breathtaking in all of them and her posing is right up there with the best of them and always checking if she can perfect the shoot even more. I really do take my hat off to one of the hardest working model I have been lucky enough to shoot

Highly recommended to everyone

I've worked with Monika many times over the last couple of years and she delivers a top class performance every time. She has highly developed modelling skills, understands instinctively the requirements of different sets and styles and adapts quickly. She's always ready to experiment with ideas and she makes lots of helpful contributions to the shoot.

She has a very positive approach, combining energy and enthusiasm with a strong commitment to achieving great results. She's good-humoured, patient and willing at all times, and every one of the many shoots we have done together has been enjoyable and productive.

Very highly recommended to everyone.

I shot with Monika for the third time today at Lizzie Bayliss' Ren Hang Workshop. Once again, Monika threw herself into the project with boundless enthusiasm, with some amazing interpretation of the themes and sets. Monika is a versatile model with a collaborative approach to shoots. She strikes that balance between being professional throughout, whilst making the shoot fun with her wicked sense of humour and personable disposition. I have no hesitation in recommending Monika to any photographer who is looking for a model that can deliver on a project. I'm really thrilled with todays images. Thanks Monika.

I booked Monika for a Ren Hang themed workshop in Manchester in February. Despite the potentially challenging and sensitive nature of the shoot, and the disruption with the weather, Monika far exceeded my expectations throughout the day. Not only was she on time, despite trains being cancelled on the morning of travel, but she had researched the genre and was enthusiastic and fully engaged with the theme and nature of the shoot.

Monika is a very hard working, confident and highly skilled model, who fully embraced the quirky nature of the shoot and quickly adapted her posing style to fit the brief.

She is creatively open, fully engaged in her work, and passionate about new, fresh ideas.

Monika got on really well with the photographers on the shoot, her friendly nature creating an open collaborative atmosphere throughout the shoot.

I would definitely book Monika again, and highly recommend her to other photographers and creatives.

Keep up the good work!

Of course we are already arranging the next studio day and I cant wait!! Thank you for everything Monika. See you soon. Best regards Andy.

Wow! Monkia is such an amazing fun model to work with! We shot many sexy, stunning images on the shoot even though we had a nice chat along the way. Monika is confident in front of the camera and poses without direction, but seemed to know the shots and poses I wanted! I'm glad to have had the chance to shoot with her and am definitely hoping this will be the first shoot of many!

Had another wonderful shoot with Monika, this time on her first visit to Studio Fifty-Eight.

As always, she is a joy to work with - fun, enthusiastic, energetic, lots of ideas for shots and styles.

Highly recommended by me and look forward to working together again soon :)

Had another fantastic shoot with Monika. As previously communication beforehand was excellent and arrived on time with the requested outfits plus other lovely outfits.

During yhe shoot she needs very little direction moving from pose to pose effortlessly and with her bubbly and chatty perdonality the time flies by.

I fully recommend her and look forward to when we work together again.

Had a fantastic shoot with Monika, she has a great sense of humour, moves from one great pose to another effortlessly, with or without direction, has a toned body without skin blemishes making post processing unnecessary and is very chatty. As a result, I would recommend her to any photographer and

look forward to another shoot with her.

When Monika stayed at an apartment in Antwerp, she created a great opportunity for me to work with her again. It was only 1,5 hour driving away for the shoot, and it turned out to be a rather nice experience. She had chosen a place to stay and work with plenty of nice corners, enough available light and most important - she felt at home there. In between lots of tea we managed to be productive as well. Monika is quite easy to work with. Her levels are up to erotic, and has absolutely no qualms about that. See the images of the shoot that she has posted in her portfolio. All quite popular, BTW.

So I'm quite happy to have worked with her and can recommend it to others.

I had a pleasure to shoot with Monika during her photo tour in Belgium. She is a 150% PRO - enthusiastic, creative, committed. And not just this. She is one of a friendliest model I have worked with. We had a great time and I hope to work with her again!

I always enjoy working with Monika, so i invited her to spend a couple of days down in the Suffolk area, working at a few new places!

Monika arrived on time with her usual big smile :) We spent the morning shooting at the beautiful Thurston Lodge and had the afternoon working at AURA studio. As always Monika was well prepared with lots of lovely lingerie, dresses and heels. She is equally comfortable working in classy dresses and lingerie, through to fashion, casual and art nude.

The following morning we did an early morning beach shoot. It was a beautiful sunny day, and as it was very quiet we were able to shoot lots of nude and bikini shots without frightening the locals! :)

Monika is lovely to work with, always positive and enthusiastic, full of ideas for shots and images. She is great company as well, and so easy to talk to ( I probably told her too many secrets over the two days! :) )

Highly recommended by me, and hope to work with her again soon!

Monika traveled all the way from Leeds down to London for our shoot, and I'm very glad she did. It was a pleasure to work with her - she was enthusiastic, chatty and friendly - but first and foremost focused on delivering the shots I wanted.

She poses creatively and has a huge wardrobe to choose from. I'm delighted with the results of the shoots, and can recommend Monika highly to you.

Monika was a star getting up early for beach shoots at 8 in the morning, looks great in a swimsuit or thong, is fantastic at yoga and stretchy poses, and has a happy smile when needed. She drinks loads of water- can be bribed with quality chocolate and loves her fruit and vedge. But the result is a stunning well toned body - recommended

Today's shoot was a dream shoot. A bringing together of two of the most stunning, talented models in the UK.

The last time I shot with Monika - quite some time ago - we discussed the possibility of a duo shoot with Acarlett Fox. OK, OK, so I dragged my heels a bit, I know. But it was well worth the wait.

I arranged to meet Monika at Scarlett's nearest rail station, and drove over to Ginger Cottage, Scarlett's current haunt. I hadn't seen Monika for a while, and it was lovely to catch up on the journey.

Monika and Scarlett appeared to hit it off immediately. After a cuppa and a chat, Scarlett showed us the potential shoot areas - and then we got cracking. Lovely, artistic and sensual shots of the two ladies in black lingerie - in various poses - in various locations. all the time we chatted and laughed together - both ladies have a wicked sense of humour. We then shot some nude duo sets. All too soon our time was up. That said, I managed to take many hundreds of useable photos.

Monika and I are already talking about possible future shoots. And may even manage to arrnage anothe duo with Scarlett.

Monika is lovely. She has agreat personality and is the ultimate professional. Seems to be jetsetting to shoots in the sun in Europe quite a lot - so catch her if you can!

Thank you Monika. Another truly amazing shoot - but expect nothing less with you.
