An Eye for Beauty

I was pleased to have a short shoot with Cariad, following on from another photographer who had booked her. She arrived with a good array of outfits and was more than happy to try things out. Cariad is a very charming young lady and I enjoyed her company. No doubt there will be some lovely images from the shoot which I will now begin to select and edit.

My first shoot with the very lovely Cariad - and what a brilliant day it was! She not only bought the most Tardis-like suitcase of outfits I've ever seen, but also enough energy and zest to sustain us both all day! :-)

Cariad is one of the most versatile and accomplished art nude models you will find. She is passionate about the genre; has a repertoire of classic and quirky poses; and a curiosity ("I wonder it this would work?") which often leads to something beautiful and original. She can also produce stylish and edgy fashion looks, and takes a bloody good portrait!

The greatest pleasure of shooting with Cariad is her laid back and fun-loving working style. She is generous with her time, enthusiastic about everything and has a great sense of humour. I've only shot her once (so far!) but I know any shoot with Cariad would be both memorable and productive, so highly recommended without hesitation!

Had a fantastic shoot with Cariad recently. Excellent comms and versatility, arriving with a wide variety of outfits. A joy to work with, very friendly and down to Earth personality. Takes direction very well. Looking forward to working with Cariad again. Defo worth the rates.

Thank you for a great shoot Cariad, until next time. :)

Read below. Cariad is awesome. The End.

OK, I'll put in a bit more effort. We've been trying to find a chance of working together for a while, which, in some ways, makes it even better when it happens.

Cariad arrived with a case I could barely lift into the boot of my car. Which is interesting as the amount of it's contents we used could probably fit into a decent sized makeup bag. But nonetheless, boy did we have some choice!

In person Cariad is super, unassuming, easy to chat to, even seemed to get my jokes (not sure if that's a good thing). I think it's fair to say she wasn't feeling 100% but she insisted on shooting - kudos for that - and she did a fantastic job. Looks wise she's very photogenic, poses very well, is immensely self critical and works very hard to ensure her poses are spot on.

Cariad thought of using one of my home 'sets' in a way that no one has considered before, which is no mean feat. She did a splendid job!

As is often the case, what we wanted to do exceeded what time we had, but I'm glad to say we've agreed Cariad will come back and we'll pick up where we left off.

Thanks for coming Cariad. Highly Recommended

What can I say about Cariad? She's a friend of mine, so this reference is going to be a little biased to say the least!

Do I need to tell you how reliable she is, or how professional, that she comes well prepared, easy to get along with, can effortlessly move from pose to pose, has a wicked sense of humour?

Maybe I should mention the fact that she is an excellent MU artist, a hard worker, she is extremely photogenic? (but you can see that for yourselves, so forget I brought it up)

Perhaps you need to know about her adaptability or versatility?

Better still why not totally ignore me, and book her, to see for yourself how amazing she is!

Would I recommend her? Only a little bit, because she should be made Compulsory :)

She came for the weekend ..... and we smashed it!

thanks Girlie :)

It took a while to synchronise diaries but it was worth the wait. What a way to start the photographic year.

Cariad is a rare beauty, a wonderful creative, a confident and determined model...and a charming young lady.

In the space of a few hours we shot four or five very different sets and I felt throughout that she and I had worked together for years rather than hours.

Recommended without hesitation. I sincerely hope we can shoot again this year.

Before I extoll her virtues, I wish to express just how kind, compassionate, sympathetic, patient, understanding and giving of herself Cariad truly is. For a start, she was there for my eighty year old mother when it mattered the most.

In addition, she fully understands and appreciates the importance of give and take, and this is something I wholeheartedly respect her for.

I hold Cariad's opinion in the highest esteem, and I promise to always keep it in mind and act upon it.

I hardly contained my exitment at the thought of a second shoot with this wonderful and dynamic model. Once again, Cariad sprang a lot of welcome surprises on set and I loved everything she had to offer. She effortlessly went from a couple of scenes which featured fishnets to one that was heavily influenced by the 1960's, and I was enormously pleased to see the meticulous effort she put in just to get her hair and make up the way she wanted.

I cannot wait for another shoot with the amazing and somewhat enigmatic Cariad, whom I simply cannot recommend highly enough.

Thank you so much once again.

I had my first shoot with Cariad yesterday and wow what a great model and enjoyable shoot. Pre shoot comms were brilliant. Now I had some different ideas for the shoot that Cariad was more than willing to try out, to the point I can't really believe that we managed so many different themes in the time. It seemed that nothing was too much. A very talented, wonderful and hardworking model who also made the shoot very relaxing.

I would certainly love to work with you again and is highly recommended

Thanks again for a fantastic shoot Caz...

Cariad is a model I would never tire of working with. Great skin, fantastic eyes and lovely figure, she can glide effortlessly from portrait to fashion to art nude, and each time producing the goods from the first shot. Cariad can be booked, safe in the knowledge that you will get great results, regardless of what style you are shooting.

Very friendly, easy to talk to and with a wealth of knowledge, your shoot flies by.

A thoroughly enjoyable four hours with great results.

Very highly recommended.

I would totally recommend Cariad. She is worth her weight in gold as a model. Shes very easy to work with and really wants to help you achieve your vision for the shoot. She has great looks and is full of good conversation. I'm very pleased with the images we created.I plan to work with her again. Thanks Caz!

A couple of weeks ago I had a lovely shooting session with Cariad in Brussels. I had decided to shoot with her because of her eyes, of a rare light green, which are a plus for a portrait in comparison with average model, but with my pleasure I discovered more. Cariad is indeed an excellent model, in that she plays with passion, shows a good variety of poses, adapts to the situation, and is positive, construtive and flexible. Moreover, she is a very nice and kind person to deal with. Our session was pleasant and in post production I have realized that this session has been for me one of the most productive in recent times. I look forward to shooting again with her as soon as possible. In the meantime I strongly recommend her to colleague photographers.

What can I say about Cariad... this spontaneous lady is a must for all photographers!

The shoot was very relaxed where she always gave the best of her.

Very natural beauty with a unique look in the eyes that was also the reason why I had her on my wish list.

When you return to Belgium I hope to welcome you again.

Regards,

About two weeks ago, I had a shoot with the beautiful Cariad. And really, it was a great pleasure. We have a lot of chatter about all kinds of things. She is very pleasant and easy going.

Cariad is very nice to have in the studio, enjoyable sociability

We discussed the shooting and other issues together. Which was very easy and pleasant.

As is clear, Cariad is a true professional. She is very beautiful and I love her feminine body ...

In addition she is also blessed with a gorgeous face …

Together we have made beautiful photos.

I hope she will visit the Netherlands again soon, so that I can book her for the second time!

Highly recommanded!

Awesome. Sorry I had to get that bit in right at the beginning and then I'll repeat it several times I'm sure. Caz and I chatted so long ago as I was dying to shoot with her on location in Wales. But we have taken so long to get together and shoot and then out of the blue it happened. Caz made the trip out to Amsterdam and we had a whole afternoon just doing doing awesome stuff in the natural light studio. And wow what poses. It's difficult to put the camera down as you would miss a great shape. Unbelievably cool. Thanks so much for coming , cheers Kev :)

Cariad is a lovely girl & an accomplished model. On the day of the shoot she had had a family problem but showed up anyway, though I gave her the chance to cancel. We did some shots with my studio lights & also some available light work which I wanted to try. Cariad was happy to take direction, but also added ideas & suggestions [ very tactfully!] to improve the images. The whole shoot was easy going & friendly & I was very glad I had booked her for the shoot. Diolch Cariad

This wonderfully elegant and capable model has been high on my shoot wish list for a few years now but due to her understandable popularity I've struggled to book a shoot in the past. Then when I am lucky enough to catch a spare slot my situation sadly changed and I've had to cancel at very short notice. Carrie was very understanding though and we'll hopefully be booking another shoot in the near future.

I recently did a shoot with Cariad at Barlow studio's in Chesterfield with the Disabled photographers society and what can I say but 'WOW'. Caz is stunningly beautiful and hard working, making posing look easy, but most of all she is a lovely person to work with. I really hope to work with her in the future.

I just love working with Cariad. This shoot was a group shoot, and Cariad provided us all with a variety of excellent poses. She was her usual charming and lovely self, and the images are, of course, amazing. Why wouldn't they be with such an amazing model. I very highly recommend Cariad to any photographer, both new and experienced.
