Had a great day at Adrian and Carla's Manchester, walk about, fashion shoot. I've done two similar events with them in London. I just love them. Carla, as everyone knows is such a brilliant model and Adrian is a fund of knowledge , happy to share it with the participants. I always come away having learned something new. Real professionals and a superb event. Good pictures to be made and good fun as well.

Highly recommended.

I attended the same Manchester Walk About shoot as Paul GH Photography and mirror his comments. I have worked with Carla several times and she is always very friendly and professional. I was very happy with the images that I got, with a range of different looks from the different clothing and locations we used. Adrian was a great help with his eye for Street Photography and technical advice and suggestions. A nice relaxed shoot, highly recommended.

I have now worked with Adrian and Carla twice for their fantastic group events and they come very highly recommended!

Working with Adrian and Carla is always a great experience!

Their event's are well organised, beautifully styled and it's always a small group of photographer's which will give you space and time to create unique photo's for your portfolio !

Carla is a very experienced and skilled model with amazing styling skills and a 6th sense of what looks good front of the camera and Adrian has to be one of the best photographer's to work with and learn from ! Very good at offering direction and help to photographer's which is ideal for both experienced and starting out photographers!

All I can say is book Adrian and Carla for a shoot or book on their events!

You'll have a great time, so many laughs and you'll learn a lot from both!

Looking forward to working together again,

Irida

I have attended two events organised by Carla and Adrian and shot 1-2-1 with Carla (with Adrian there to drop in the odd piece of advice). You couldn't meet a nicer couple and their creative talents are unsurpassed.

They are both chatty, friendly and most of all patient with everyone they work with. I am more than happy to recommend any event they organise. Best of luck with this new old venture, and I look forward to attending another event in my area soon.

I've shot with Adrian and Carla on several occasions. They run some of the very best events around. Carla is a top class model, beautiful, poses effortlessly and naturally, and styles herself very well. Adrian is a very friendly and knowledgable photographer who offers support without pushing it, and can quickly setup a range of lighting to complement the styling. The events tend to be very limited numbers so each photographer gets a good amount of 121 time and no shooting over the shoulder. Adrian will move you along if he feels others are kept waiting too long so everyone gets their fair time. Pricing is very reasonable too. Highly recommended!

I've worked with both Carla and Adrian on a number of shoots, both in the UK and across Europe.

Adrian's technical experience is first class and a great colleague to work with on a shoot. Carla is a beautiful, top class international model, who has won major awards for her work. She poses naturally; has a great sense of style and wardrobe, and is absolute pleasure to work with.

This team come very highly recommended!

I have worked with Adrian and Carla on many occasions, remotely, in person (both 1:1 and group shoots) and on every occasion it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them both. I have attended their Fashion Walkabout in London, shot at their local studio they use and also remotely to their home studio. Each time I am greeted with a combination that work tirelessly to ensure the photographer comes away with top class shots.

Carla is a model who can pull off pretty much any look and pose you would ask for and she is complimented by Adrian, who is fabulous at lighting and set up.

As many times as we have worked together, I know there are more shoots that I will definitely book with this fantastic creative duo.

100% would recommend.

I have enjoyed the privilege of working with Carla and Adrian on lots of different occasions both on location and in the studio for many years. They are a friendly and experienced couple with a great sense of humour and the ability to achieve amazing images with them is always guaranteed! Carla is a beautiful world class model able to pose effortlessly and creatively in many different styles and genre ranging from themed events including a Brigitte Bardot look, film noir and fashion walkabouts. Her wardrobe is extensive always styled to the event.

Adrian' technical expertise with camera settings, lighting and the use of backdrops enables fabulous images to be obtained. Events are generally limited to just 4 photographers so there is plenty of opportunity to be creative!

Carla and Adrian come highly recommended I know that I shall be booking more shoots with this fantasic duo in the future.

I had the pleasure of doing my third street fashion walkabout with Carla & Adrian today, this time in Bristol rather than London. Needless to say it was only the location that changed; everything else was up to their usual high standards: A very relaxed atmosphere with a couple of coffee breaks but still plenty of time for each of the four photographers to get the shots they wanted in each location that we stopped at. We were spoiled with choices for locations: I assisted with a recce earlier in the week to help find likely locations for shooting, and in the end we didn't get round even half of them (and there were others we could have looked at earlier in the week too...!), which all means there is plenty more mileage in future shoots around Bristol ;-) That's great news for anyone living in the area because these shoots are fab! Carla's reputation is deservedly second to none, and it's cool to have Adrian around too - to provide assistance if required, or just to provide inspiration from the amazing shots that he effortlessly sneaks in while the rest of us try to do our best! Plus they're a lovely couple to hang out with, and if my experiences to date are anything to go by, you'll probably get to meet some other nice folks too - maybe other PurplePorters whose work you've long admired but have never actually met, or others that you're glad to make the acquaintance of. So it's 10/10 from me, and I'll be looking forward to more of these shoots in the future :-)

Thanks again, guys. See you soon :-)

I joined Adrian and Carla on their recent Bristol Fashion Walkabout which I enjoyed immensely. I've worked with them on several occasions before so it was no surprise that communications, planning and preparation were all great. The 5-hours we spent shooting around Bristol flew by with the whole group of photographers working in a relaxed and fun way throughout. This is an atmosphere that I don't think just happens but is a result of Carla's and Adrian's personalities, skills and experience on both sides of the camera.

They are adept at making group shoots enjoyable for all helping everyone get the best shots possible, always with encouragement and tips - and help and advice if requested.

I look forward to seeing what events this creative duo come up with in future so I can work with them again. I highly recommend anyone else does, too.

I have worked with Adrian and Carla quite a few times now and this time in the fabulous Bristol city was as good as the first.

Such a brilliant team to work with Adrian well you only have to look at his work. A true gentleman and so easy to get along with. Calm and professional and he knows what he talking about. Carla has to be the sweetest thing to ever come out of England and her posing is just as stunning really incredible to watch and photograph. Adrian and Carla had all ready done the hard work for everyone scouting out some amazing locations so it went so smoothly and stress free.everyone got so many great images and to be honest just a brilliant day.

I take my hat off to them they good.

I have worked with Carla and Adrian many times over the last few years, first remotely from Germany to the UK and also once to Portugal during the Corona period and since last year in person on several street fashion walkabouts in London and most recently on an assisted shoot in beautiful North Wiltshire.

Carla and Adrian always manage to create a very pleasant atmosphere and you can always learn a lot from the exchange with such a creative and experienced model like Carla and an absolute top photographer like Adrian.

I learnt a lot during the shoots with both of them and even improved my English.

Thank you very much, here's to another good collaboration and good luck with the new site at Purpleport. :)

One more of several remote shoots with Carla and Adrian. Always an absolute joy and so productive. Always so rewarding when people know exactly what to do and all I have to do is tag along. Always great fun and very relaxed. Can’t recommend highly enough.
