First worked with Cariad in November 2014 and for some unknown reason had not had another shoot till now. In fact Cariad contacted me a few weeks ago suggesting it. We had a brilliant shoot at Valley Road Studio and made great use of the "industrial" machinery there. Cariad is a very capable and experienced model who goes the extra mile to ensure you have achieved all the setting has to offer. Cariad needs very little direction and easily creates beautiful poses and body shapes using, in this case, the found environment to great advantage.

Being a keen photographer herself Cariad has a good eye for detail and will give suggestions and or move intrusive elements. We also had many delightful & interesting discussions on lots of topics to catch up on our lives.

An exciting and different shoot enabled by a model who I wholeheartedly recommend and certainly hope to work with again.

Thank you,

John

I had the pleasure of a second shoot with the amazing duo, Cariad and Silk, at Map Studio recently.

I can honestly say, the first shoot was brilliant but this time they just blew me out of the water with their sheer intelligence, creativity and inventiveness!

I can't recommend Cariad and Silk highly enough and a massive thank you!

Wonderful to work with the lovely Cariad again. She is such an amazing model. She is beautiful, charming, smart, professional... I could go on and on with the superlatives. Suffice to say, she's simply one of the best models anywhere and I hope to work with her again before she leaves for new shores.

Cariad is simply awesome. She'll make you look like a great photographer so if you get the chance to work with her, you should jump at it :-)

Thank you Cariad for a lovely day. Enjoyed every minute :-)

I was very pleased to have the chance to work with Cariad again. I don't think anyone else could have enabled me to produce these images and cannot thank my lovely friend enough for her generosity and empathy. I should also thank her for making splashing around, knee deep, in a mountain stream more fun than it sounds! x

Much to my surprise Carrie mentioned that we first worked together 4 years ago. Ye gods, where does the time go? She was amazing the first time around and this shoot confirmed that she is still amazing only more so. Very easy to work with and enthusiastic even when the locations we used weren't the easiest to get to. Every shoot with Carrie is great fun and filled with laughs and the time goes by far too quickly. I certainly recommend Carriad very highly and without reservation.

Cariad worked extremely hard as we explored some beautiful locations and themes in Snowdonia. She remained enthusiastic through the whole time we shot and nothing was too much trouble for her; even prolonging some shoots(in trying circumstances), to make sure she had given me her best and I had what I needed. Cariad constantly perused the images on my camera, not to check my work, but rather to adjust her performance; making sure she was giving of her best. Her knowledge of photography shone through and she made some very helpful suggestions. Cariad makes herself up to a very high standard and changes quickly. I have found, working with models, is a collaboration between two creative minds to create something beautiful, Cariad makes that collaboration so easy and works damn hard to deliver exactly what you need and more.

Cariad is easy going and good, interesting company.

I will definitely be working with Cariad again

Cariad comes highly recommended; do not pass up the chance of working with her if you get the opportunity.

I have been wanting to work with Cariad for some time and through luck was able to do just that today. Thanks to Cariad for posting on Instagram about a weekend shoot a Wolfe Cottage Studio.

Cariad is professional, incredibly easy to work with, funny and informed; knowing exactly how to create some amazingly beautiful poses. It was effortless!

It was a great pleasure and know that due to Cariad I have produced some fantastic images that I can use.

I would highly recommend Cariad to anyone and hope to work with her again in the future.

110% recommendation for Carrie - no question!

Carrie came to Wolfe Cottage Studio, the Studio I run with my husband for her first model weekend with us and I KNOW it won't be the last!

It must be quite daunting for any model just to turn up at a complete strangers house and studio for a weekend, but Carrie was the perfect house guest, great company and a good giggle and naturally all this transfers seamlessly to the make up room and studio.

As the MUA and stylist I can say Carrie is a joy to work with, very animated and open to ideas and her people skills are second to none! Then, once in front of the camera (which I know little about) I was spellbound watching her and again by seeing the back of the camera and finished results.

You won't be disappointed!

We have already got plan for plenty of future work with Cariad again!

Worked with Cariad at Wolfe Cottage. She is great fun to work with and joined in the banter with Andrew.

Very professional, given an idea and a setting, she came up with clothes to suit and a great range of poses.

Got some amazing shots, now have to work through them.

Will work with her again when she is in the area and strongly recommended.

This was my first time shooting with Cariad and I hope it won't be the last.

Cariad is fantastic to work with poses beautifully and we had a great laugh.

All you really need to know is if you haven't shot with Cariad you should! Highly recommended!! :)

I had the pleasure of shooting with Cariad at Wolfe Cottage Studios.

Cariad was very open to suggestion at trying different posses, I got some very nice shots.

I look forward to working again with her some time soon, as she is a friendly and cheerful person.

Highly recommend her.

I had the privilege of working with Cariad during a model day that she was holding at Wolfe Cottage Studio. She's great fun to work with but never lets that get in the way of her professionalism. Cariad is also quick to grasp the undercurrents that you're trying to create in an image and bring her own ideas and poses too - sometimes gallingly better than my original plans!

It was a great pleasure, a lot of fun and I came away with some stunning images. What more could you want? I'd recommend working with Cariad to anyone.

I met Cariad at a camera club. Cariad is a very nice girl she came up & introduced herself to everyone.

She very reliable definitely have a good idea in what she & the photographer want & I definitely got really good photos.

I would recommend Cariad she is also lively & always know whats best

I found a totally unexpected opportunity to work with Cariad, and so we hastily arranged our fourth get together. Once again, Cariad reminded me that she is never short of ideas and it gave me enormous pleasure to witness her show of diversity throughout our day.

She braved the freezing cold morning just to shoot a scene in the back garden.

In addition, we covered a few themes based on the 1960's/1970's to varying degrees as well as lingerie and Art Nude.

I only regret that we didn't have time to explore everything that presented themselves to us.

No one needs a reminder of just how formidable an act Cariad is as a model. Much more importantly however, is that she is someone I count as a true friend with a thoroughly informed and objective opinion as well as the proverbial heart of gold.

In the short time in which I have known her, she has always been warmly encouraging and highly supportive of me.

This one can never steer you wrong, and I can only give her my highest recommendation.

Thank you so much for another wonderful day Cariad. See you in July.

I had the chance to work with Cariad yesterday morning. I have wanted to work with her for a long time now, and can you believe she has moved from the back of beyond into my back yard :) There is only one way to some up the day and that is WOW!

Cariad turned out very early ready to shot and brought with her oodles of inspiration, tons of creativity and hard work. Constantly looking for the next image to create, she added her own creative flare to the shoot in so many different ways; I have a camera full of inspirational images.

Reasons to work with Cariad;she has exquisitely beautiful eyes, long dark hair, an inner beauty that shines in her physical beauty and she works damn hard to deliver exactly what you want and more.

I will definitely be working with Cariad again; infact, as soon as the Rhododendrons are in blossom.

Do not pass up a chance of working with this young lady :)

I booked Cariad for a weekend group shoot and arranged for her to have a lift with one of the photographers who was attending. When his car broke down at short notice Cariad jumped onto a bus, ran to the railway station and kept me informed the whole time. Arriving only slightly late she had gone way above and beyond what some models would do to get to the shoot.

Everybody that she shot with was very impressed by her abiliies as a model and her bubbly personality. I will definitly be booking her again.

Cariad and I were both booked for this years' DPS AGM groupshoot weekend, so we had a few occasions to chat (though never actually shot duo which looking back was an opportunity missed!). Cariad is a lovely lady and true professional not to mention has an amazing look and brought a great wardrobe selection with her! I'd be very happy to shoot alongside her again, recommended to all by me :) Hopefully see you soon!

This was the second time I had the great pleasure of working with Cariad. We were involved with a 2 day group shoot that had a bumpy start when Cariad was delayed as her lift had unfortunately broken down. She absolutely went the extra mile to make it.

Cariad is one of the most naturally beautiful models and has great elegance, energy and patience where needed. She has a wonderful manner and friendly persona that no one will be able to question.

If you have not yet shot with Cariad I suggest and recommend you do.

I am already looking forward to our next meeting which is going to be the most awesome yet!!

Thanks Cariad a bientot
