Had the absolute pleasure of working with the beautiful Carla at Inspire studio, she is very professional, fun to work with, easy to talk to, talented, with non stop posing and lots of ideas to add to the shoot.

Thank you again Carla, Look forward to working with you again soon.

Very highly recommended.

Another fantastic shoot with ever superb Carla, a model of pure class & always such a delight to work with. Thanks for today Carla & here's to the next time. As ever I recommend Carla most highly.

I took a chance on the weather behaving itself as we head into winter and booked a late autumn fashion shoot with Carla (and Adrian assisting), and I'm very glad that I did. The weather was about as good as can be expected this time of year and I had a fantastic shoot. Mr & Mrs Crook did another excellent job of arranging this "assisted location shoot" (this is the second one that I've done with them) and chose some wonderful locations in the countryside near Swindon again. Even if there weren't quite as many leaves left on the trees as a month ago, there were still plenty on the ground, providing an abundance of autumn colours.

It goes without saying that Carla had all the looks to match the beautiful locations (numerous autumn/winter coats and more self-knitted hats, gloves and scarves than I could keep track of) and posed perfectly throughout as she always does. And Adrian did a sterling job of not only lugging my lighting gear around for me, but also holding up the flash in places that I could never have made it stand on its own, so even the trickiest of locations still had the benefit of the finishing touch that a flash can provide when the daylight isn't at its best.

We were accompanied most of the way round our three locations by a riot of robins (is that the correct collective noun?!), one of which did its best to mug me for my mince pie (very kindly an unexpectedly provided, along with a flask of coffee, by my hosts -- I guess that's one advantage to booking an autumn shoot so late ;-)). All in all it was a lovely wander through the countryside in the company of equally lovely people. I've come home with another batch of great images, and can only look forward to doing it all again next year :-)

Thanks again, guys :-)

I finally got to photograph Carla after waiting nearly 8 years. I had always been working so jumped at the opportunity as I had a week off.

Carla has the look that I was always looking for. She is extremely beautiful and 200 plus images later I am finding it very hard to find the best shot. I was still editing at 3 a.m. in the morning.

I loved spending the day with Carla, highly recommended

An Eye for Beauty

A couple of days ago I went on a workshop run by English Photoworks entitled 'Soulful Portraiture'. I was a attracted to the theme and love David's work anyway; but a deciding factor was that the model for the day was the lovely Carla. We have worked together on a couple of dozen occasions but usually on a 1:1 basis. However to see her patience and kindness to the five of us photographers only reconfirmed the high esteem in which I hold her. No doubt we will be booking another shoot in the not too distant future.

Had another excellent remote session with Carla earlier this week, and continue to be impressed. She's fully professional, enjoyable to work with, has a great range of expressions and both natural and stylized poses.

We went with a kind of avant-garde/tribal look. I provided a makeup and styling moodboard, and she took the concept and examples and styled it beautifully.

Talented, highly skilled, charming, fun to work with, and beautiful; what more can one ask of a model?

Highly recommended!

It was a delight to shoot with Carla around the city of Swindon to capture autumn at its peak. She found some incredible spots for us to work. She is so professional in her outlook as well as enjoys a good laugh. Coming up with creative poses and expressions throughout the shoot.

I absolutely loved working with Carla and highly recommend her.

I have worked with Carla many times and each shoot is always the same but also different - the similarity is you get an experienced, skilled and creative model, the difference is you always get new & fresh quality images.

Carla is a top class model, a beautiful person and totally committed to ensuring you leave a shoot with quality images to add to your portfolio.

On this recent shoot I brought some new gowns and dresses to work with and I am very happy with the results we got, with Carla modelling them to perfection.

Carla is able to portray so many different looks and styles with ease and that is evident from the beautiful results she produces.

Thank you for another great shoot and I would 100% recommend Carla to work with.

Work with Carla On Sunday, amazing model to work with. Very little direction needed as Carla knew how to work with the lights or the shot I was after. Easy and fun to get on with. Highly recommended.

Just returned from an Artemisiab trip to Lanzarote where I had the absolute pleasure of working with, and spending time with lovely Carla. Superb model and one of life's most beautiful people. The time flew by far too quickly and we didn't get chance to rehearse our cabaret version of "I got you babe." Maybe next time.

Thanks for all your work, especially the creation of our mystical set.

Hope to see you soon and thanks again for helping make my stay in Lanzarote so memorable.

Spent a few days with Carla on an Artemisian Luxury Photographic Holiday in Lanzarote. And what a wonderful few days!

Carla is a beautiful, experienced, professional, talented model. And a warm, charming, lovely person.

It was a true joy to work with her!

I had the pleasure of working with Carla again on a recent Artemisian shoot in Lanzarote.

What can you say that hasn't been said before about Carla. She really is one of the top models around. Not only is she a beautiful model but she is a beautiful person too. Always so welcoming she has a way of putting you at ease. She really is a pleasure to be around.

Carla is very experienced and professional. Super talented, friendly, has a natural beauty, takes direction well and is there to suggest ideas if needed.

Not much more to add really. If you haven't shot with Carla then why not!

Highly recommended.

Shoot with Carla on a trip to Lanzarote organised by Artemisian Luxury Photographic Holidays, we shot a number of different ideas over the 4 days, there was a lot of preparation for some of the set, always easy to work with Carla and Highly Recommended.

Had a lovely second remote session with Carla a few days ago, and was again impressed by her professionalism, posing ability, natural look in front of the camera, and all the preparations involved in a styled shoot.

This time, we went for a 1940's period theme, with makeup, hair, and wardrobe all selected for that, and she was ready from the very start, with a perfectly selected outfit for the theme we were aiming for.

As with our first session, the only difficulty I had was in deciding which of the many 'winner' photos to select--there were so many excellent ones it was hard to narrow them down.

Fun to work with, ability to portray a wide range of emotions and styles, and generating great results: it's a combination that's very hard to beat!

Highly recommended!

Shooting with Carla is always a great event and this was no exception. It was also Nicky Phillips's last shoot so it was even more special with a drop or two of pink champagne being consumed.

A most enjoyable afternoon at the great far forest studio and lots of great images.

Thanks for a great afternoon Carla. See you in Lanzarote.

I've had the fortune to work with Carla, both at home and abroad, many times over the years. Our last session was at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio. Working 1/1 and duo with Artemis Fauna. Carla, as always, just turned on the magic. She is just great to work with.

I really don't need to say too much. Everyone knows how special she is.

See you soon Carla. xxx

Had a successful outdoor shoot in Wiltshire with ever superb Carla, such a delightful & relaxed model to work with. Always impressed with the ease, flow and grace with which Carla moves from pose to pose and theme to theme.

I appreciated the input of Adrian Crook in carrying my kit and generally assisting with the logistics of the shoot. As ever I highly recommend Carla and Adrian in his temporary role as an Assistant!

I had another fantastic few days with Cala Monaco when she came to Essex and stayed with us.

We shot together on the saturday and she was, as ever, just wonderful to work with. We got some great shot and I hope we'll be doing it again soon. Thanks Carla for all your hard work.
