After having done a two week trip to India with Artemis last year, I felt ready to up the ante a little. Instead of one model, I decided to take two. I had recently worked with Carrie, which had confirmed to me that we shared a similar outlook and approach to photography, which promised a good haul of images. It is very important to pick the right person, when travelling abroad for three weeks. I couldn’t have done better in choosing Carrie, she rapidly adapted to the change in culture, weather and customs. She was very inquisitive and ready to immerse herself in this strange new world. Her beauty and modelling skills are well documented in other references and contributed to the trip being a resounding success. She rapidly adopted the skills of the seasoned traveller and wasn’t fazed by seven different flights during our trip.

We spent time on an antique houseboat in Kashmir, where we saw the first snow of the year, before travelling around Rajasthan where Carrie sharpened her skills, haggling with textile traders.

Part way through the trip we were joined by our second model (Silk Younger), a model with whom Carrie had worked on many past occasions. There is a well tried dynamic between Carrie and Silk, which made duo settings quite natural and unforced.

In summary, Carrie proved to be the ideal travelling companion. Uncomplaining, adaptable, entertaining and up for most challenges. The fact that she is an outstanding model ensured a memorable trip and a pile of fantastic images. I could not have asked for better. Thanks Carrie.

I would absolutely recommend Cariad. Great timekeeping and communication. Knows exactly what she is doing, fantastic makeup, range of outfits and outstanding poses. So many different expressions and looks from one person. Can cover many different styles with ease. Very down to Earth and a pleasure to get along with. If you haven't shot with Cariad, then you have missed out I'd say.

Thank you for another fantastic shoot. As before, there are a lot of absolute winners in the set we did. Hope you are enjoying India. Cant wait to shoot with you again :)

Cariad came to stay @ Hotel Trevvie, and shoot @ Trevvie Towers for the umpteenth time - it was epic! its always epic! She's epic!

A very biased reference as she is a friend of mine. she is well presented, well prepared, well equipped, and well funny! :) don't take my word for it, see for yourself - and you can write a reference like this

Its also worth mentioning 99% of the times I have worked with her she has done her own make up (to an exceptional standard too, I might add)as she is extremely competent in this skillset.

We had another awesome weekend, and she is always welcome @ trevvie Towers and Hotel.

until next time lovely lady :)

I worked with Cariad for the first time earlier this year and I was instantly struck by her hard working ethic and delightful personality. That made her a perfect choice for a Shoot at Pipewell hall that I was asked to arrange.

Pipewell hall is a big location and it needs brilliant models who can complement such an amazing place. Cariad worked tirelesly for the two days of the shoot and all of the photographers had nothing but good things to say.

My only regret was that as orgaiser I was too busy to shoot with Caz myself, but I know I will get another chance, I will make sure of it!

Cariad modelled at Pipewell Hall, a large country house and estate. Cariad looked wonderful in a blue ball gown as she played the grand lady to perfection. Cariad modelled in several other styles, and was always very hard working and creative.

I shot with Cariad on a group shoot today. This is the third time I have had the great pleasure of shooting with her and this time was just as good as the others. She worked superbly well at giving the naturally beautiful poses and looks that I love from her, and she radiates kindness tirelessly.

She coped extremely well in the harsh mid day sun even with a reflector pointed at her constantly.

I love shooting with Cariad and so will you... she is awesome!!

As you can tell I recommend massively that you book her.

Had a great shoot with Cariad during a group shoot at Pipewell Hall. She is a very attractive model, who knows how to pose with little direction (although she takes direction well). Thoroughly recommended.

Ian Reynolds

Had my first shoot with Cariad at her studio day at Big Shot Studio.

It was a brilliant couple of hours. She is a brilliant model, easy going, relaxed, makes her own contribution adding to my ideas and extremely hard working to achieve the best shots possible.

We achieved a number of different looks ranging from fashion to art nude and it is difficult finding bad shots.

A delightful young lady and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.

Definitely highly recommended.

Big Shot Studio

We had the pleasure of hosting Cariad at the studio this weekend, and we're hoping it won't be the last time.

From pre-comms to arriving at the studio early and ready to go; Cariad rocked it all day and gave everyone a masterclass in modelling.

Looking forward to having her back at the studio soon.

Totally recommended.

One of the best shooting experiences I have had.

Cariad was brilliant and was great in helping to create a great set of images, thank you. She made the whole experience a fun and enjoyable shoot.

Cariad really understands the creative processes and was happy to discuss ideas. This was a great help to me and I really hope you book another shoot with her very soon.

"You were wearing disguises, occasionally a girl surprises me, when she turns out to be you..." (Pete Townsend, 1966).

Cariad and I booked an unprecedented sixteen hour shoot. Yet, as on our previous five occasions, we simply didn't stop! Whenever I am on set with Cariad, I could swear that I have booked in about ten different models. Such is her dynamism and versatility. You only need to take one look at her work on other people's portfolios as well as her own.

As if that weren't incredible enough, she does everything from the heart. This is a quality which I have always admired, not only in Cariad, but indeed the other models whom I sincerely hope to work with again.

I quiet often feel that the world has been waiting for her. She has only been here five minutes and turns it upside down! ;)

Considering she has only been around for a relatively short time, Cariad has very quickly come up through the ranks and, in the process, has run rings around some of those who have been in the modelling profession for a lot longer than her.

It must be made clear, however, that she is no overnight sensation. She is someone who has been equally blessed with a kind nature and impeccable manners as well as a wonderful imagination. In addition, she has obviously worked amazingly hard, and it always pleases me to hear her talk about her modelling so passionately.

During our most recent shoot, we had as much fun as ever going through every style from art nude and lingerie through to vintage fashion.

Thank you so much Cariad for an epic couple of days shooting. I am forever grateful to you for both helping to enrich my portfolio as well as helping me to re-evaluate my life.

I really cannot wait for our next shoot, and so until then, please let me leave you once again with my highest recommendation.

Cariad is loved by the camera. A truly beautiful personality with looks to match. We took half a day at Solo Studios. Trying different lighting combinations including Rotolight with gels. Cariad had kindly provided garlands and we then centred on fashion nude. Cariad is so easy to work with, full of ideas and tweaks, paying rightful attention to detail beyond my eye. Time flew by, productive and most enjoyable. Next time to explore wider vistas including art. I would humbly and loudly highly recommend Cariad, her posing was a delight of fluidity, form and graciousness. Cariad’s hair is so adaptable and crowns many a set. Cariad has such a natural aptitude as to make any shot turn if you desire to a beauty shot, so elegantly.

Had my first shoot with Cariad, yesterday and really enjoyed it. She is great model to work with. She understood my ideas, suggested a few of her own, and was a natural in front of the camera. This of course meant that I could focus on taking the best images, which in turn means that I have some of the best images I have ever taken.

This was the second time I've shot with Cariad, we had a great shoot and I am really happy with the pics I came away with. Cariad is a fantastic model to work with and has a lovely personality. She is also willing to add her own ideas into the shoot. Easy to recommend. Thanks.

I had a first shoot with Cariad recently and enjoyed it very much. She showed up in plenty of time for the shoot and was amiable from the off.

Cariad poses beautifully with grace and poise, is a very pleasant person to work with and the shoot was a good experience all round.

Added to this is a willingness to try some different ideas, which means that I am very happy to add a recommendation to all for Cariad, and would be delighted to work with her again at a future date.

Mike Palmer

My first 1-2-1 with Cariad was thoroughly enjoyable, so easy to work with makes you feel you have known her all your life. perfect figure for my passion of bodyscapes. creates super shapes without any direction, so impressed I have booked her again. I can only say she is a 100% giver, loves modelling and it really shows. So looking forward to our next shoot............

I was incredibly lucky to be able to book a very last minute shoot with Cariad after learning she would be working nearby.

Cariad's communications were first class and we quickly arranged to meet at the location where she was staying. To be honest, when I arrived at the shoot I didn't really have a plan, this didn't worry me because a single glance at her portfolio tells you that Cariad is incredibly versatile and skilled.

As I suspected there was absolutely no need to worry because within a few minutes we had a plan. Over the course of the morning, we managed to shoot about half a dozen different sets. Cariad rocked every one of them.

Beautiful face and hair, stunning physique, great wardrobe, very expressive, confident, and a range of poses that will blow you away. I especially loved Cariad's power posing and having seen it for myself I am bursting with ideas for another shoot.

Finally, and extremely important to me, Cariad is great company, interesting to chat with, quick to laugh and great fun to work with.

Top model, very highly recommended. 👍

For the past four years I have been hoping to shoot this young lady and when the opportunity arrived, I was filled with delight and anticipation.

In the event, I was not disappointed. She was everything I had hoped for and more. Richly skilled in the field of art nude, indulgent helping to realise some of my more conceptual ideas and keen to try new ideas.

Not only would I work with her again, but I have already made arrangements to do so. An all-round good egg and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

There are plenty of models who will do the job they are paid to - and will do a damned good job at that. However, there is no one like Cariad. She has a heartbeat.

This was our fifth soot together, and this time we certainly pushed the boat out.

She and I made an early start today, and the dynamic range over the following eight hours was fantastic. We started in the garden, where we were blessed with beautiful weather. We then moved on to the attic space where we shot vintage fashion (once again mixing and matching our wardrobes), lingerie, and nude.

In addition to being the incredibly versatile model that she is, Cariad also displays a wonderfully kind hearted nature which will always stay with me, She found time for my mother, and even showed her a few of her own family photographs.

Cariad was one of the very first models I worked with in my photographic space which I acquired just over a year ago. Five shoots on, she has almost certainly become part of the furniture.

Cariad liked our back garden enough to take a few snaps of her own.

I cannot wait to work with this wonderfully unique model again. In the meantime, I shall leave her with my highest recommendation.

Thank you so much once again Cariad. Please come back and make yourself at home.
