References for Cariad Celis

Carolinebay

I had the pleasure of working with the fabulous Cariad during the Midsummer event arranged by Nicole Rayner, Ivory Flame and Cariad. What an amazing event! The team had gone to great lengths to create multiple stunning sets in the wonderful setting of the Guys Cliffe ruin and it was a photographers dream! Cariad is an absolutely beautiful model, who is a dream to photograph. I am very drawn to creating emotive imagery and Cariad was just perfect for this. I was also blown away by Cariad's creativity and dress making talent, as she had made the most gorgeous dresses for this event. They were stunning!

I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Cariad and really do hope that I get the opportunity to do so again soon.

Shot with Cariad Celis for the first time (but not the last) at Guys Cliffe House, Warwick, what a pleasure to work with such a professional and creative person... and did I mention beautiful, stylish and elegant. At the top of the list for models to work with again!

Ivory Flame

I got to work with the stunning Cariad recently at the Midsummers Dream event organised by Nicole Rayner at Guys Cliffe. It was such a joy to model together (albeit socially distanced in the outdoor locations) having only met her once previously.

Cariad is so flawless, with striking looks, wonderful make-up, beautiful posing and the dresses she handmade for the theme were utterly magical - so photogenic with all gorgeous details, textures and flowing ruffles ♡ Not only is she fantastically versatile and creative, she is so friendly and fun!!

I know she played a huge part in the planning, arranging the sets together and bringing fantastic props, with the assistance of her lovely partner Kieran!

Highly recommended and I can't wait to work with her again soon in the near future :-) Do not miss working with this gorgeous and talented woman!

I had my first shoot with Cariad at Nicole Rayner's Guys Cliffe event.

Cariad is a stunningly beautiful model and wonderful to work with. She is very elegant and agile. She produced so many great shots, I don't know where to start!

On top of that, she styled the event, making fabulous dresses that worked perfectly for the setting. Highly recommended.

I hope we get to shoot together again very soon!

Second time I have worked with Cariad as part of an event which was Nicole Rayner’s Guys Cliffe event with a difference. Cariad is a fabulous model and enjoy working with her,we came up with few ideas that we could use, she also designed some of the dresses that the model’s wore.Highly recommended.

Just my second time shooting with Cariad, this time on Nicoles Guys Cliffe event, modelling an array of beautiful gowns of her own creation.

Some fantastic shots made in the most vibrant of gowns, even working a short set with the resident guard dog for something a little different. Not afraid to clamber the ladders in the most impractical of gowns for a quick set in the arches!

I'd not hesitate to recommend Cariad and look forward to our next opportunity to shoot.

I always enjoy working with Cariad and today was no exception as we created more stunning images on Nicole Rayners Midsummer Dreams event at Guys Cliffe. Thanks again Cariad and well done on the styling...all your hard work paid off, it was perfect.

Sheff

had another great 121 shoot with Cariad as well as organising a group shoot for Leicester based Creative Photography Events.

Cariad remains one of the most enchanting models I have had the pleasure to work with and we have worked together over a good few years now.

Her natural grace, poise and immaculate posing coupled with an inner serenity not to mention a massive range of outfits to select from make her a model you must work with if you have the chance.

Brilliant 121 and fantastic with a mixed experience group of photographer, I cannot recommend her highly enough and I will continue to work with her well into the future.

Cariad attended a session down at my studio earlier this week.

The session was a group session with a variety of photographers, it had been organised by Sheff on here under the Creative Photography Events banner.

Well I was already familiar with Cariad, but had never had the chance to work with her before.

What can I say, arrived prompt, loaded with outfits and extras ready to go. Worked all day long gave amazing results for all the photographers and just kept pulling unique poses and looks out the bag all day.

I stepped up for a couple shots here and there and every one worked for me first time.

Highly highly recommended and a really relaxed down to earth person too.

Always invited back to the studio, so hope fully until next time :)

Cariad has been on my 'to shoot' list for AGES.

So when I saw she was coming to my local photography studio for a group shoot, I put my money down within 30 seconds!

Incredible model, absolute posing machine and really nice person. We got some amazing stuff.

Thanks Cariad, and hope to shoot with you again at some point :)

Cariad worked with me on my motion blur project.

We had a really enjoyable, delightful and productive shoot.

Preshoot comms were good, and Caz arrived thoroughly prepared, with a case full of suitable outfits.

The shoot was really productive - Caz listened to direction, but came up with her own ideas as well, moving easily between poses.

Caz is throroughly professional, really easy to work with, and I've no hesitation in recommending her

PS

Relaxed enjoyable shoot with Caz. Experienced professional model who added to the shoot ideas in a positive manner. We achieve the majority of ideas resulting in the desired images. Would be delighted to to work with Caz again in the future.

I had the extreme good fortune to shoot Caz yesterday. Caz agreed to fill a studio slot I had booked after unforeseen circumstances caused a cancellation. Caz has an incredible range of moods and poses and a very deep understanding of the mechanics of setting up a shot, meaning that after explaining the concept she could pretty much do her own thing and add in ideas that I had not considered. Caz is also a fun and bubbly person so easy to work with. I'm lucky, as without the circumstances I would not have worked with this amazing model. If you are looking for experience and a model that really knows the art, I would strongly recommend.

I shot with Cariad for the second time yesterday and hopefully not the last. Like before she was a true pleasure to work with. She's always one step ahead. She knows where to stand, how to pose what outfits will work with which backdrop and lights etc. She's a genuine professional. If it is to be Cariad's last year of modelling she will be truly missed by many.

Third time with Cariad, and as before a very enjoyable experience. Cariad is a brilliant, very experienced model and a genuinely nice person, so easy to work with. Had a great shoot, even outside in the biting wind. Carrie in just her pants, me in a winter jacket and not a word of complaint. Once again, an easy recommendation from me.

Did a fun shoot with Cariad at her home studio. It is always fun and positive to work with Cariad. She has so many fabulous ideas and helps so much with creating such wonderful images. Thank you Caz. I highly recommend Cariad and I look forward to working with her again soon later this year.

This was my second shoot with Cariad, she is so good to work with coming up with ideas and also using my ideas. We got some amazing images and Im really looking forward to shooting with Cariad again later in the year. I would totally recommend her she is the consummate professional

Brian Boyce

This was the first time I had shot with Cariad and will definitely not be the last. She is incredible, had a lovely relaxed fun time working through different ideas and setups that we'd spoken about pre-shoot.

It is clear she is a professional, from her knowledge, posing, contribution to ideas, enthusiasm and beauty. I can not recommend Cariad highly enough and looking back through the shots from the day there are so many keepers. If anything this shoot has just given me so many more ideas for other shoots with Cariad.

Highly recommend and hope to work with you again soon.

Doing a reference for Cariad is like choosing a present for a millionaire when you've got only five pounds in your pocket. What more can you say about a model that has some of the best references I've ever seen on PP?

Cariad collects all the superlatives. She really does.

First, she's an outstanding beauty. It would be hard to find a better model for the type of work I do. Second, Cariad has a lovely personality. She is totally down to earth and very, very easy to work with. The shoot was totally relaxed and the four hours shot by.

Cariad had looked at my emails and images and brought the type of lingerie I liked. She had strong views on modeling and knows what she wants to achieve (i.e., she doesn't drift aimlessly through the shoot … she is a consummate professional).

So, having had over 150 shoots since I started model photography three years ago, I can say that Cariad is at the very top. I've met only four or five models that I have enjoyed working with as much as Cariad.

Of course I would recommend Cariad to all photographers. For beginners, she's ideal because of her enthusiasm, posing ability and warm personality. For experts, she knows what posing is all about and it shows. She's interested only in doing a good job and getting great images.

I recently was fortunate to work with Cariad in the studio on a short shoot.

First up, this lovely lady is good company in the studio, both interested and interesting.

When it comes to modelling it steps up a gear. Great posing, changing from one pose to another without direction, but willing to take direction if offered.

I would recommend Cariad for both beginning and experienced photographers wanting a great experience and willing subject for their art.

Highly recommended from me.
