Cariad was the model for Beauty Lighting workshop at Solo studio. She was a very patient and professional model and great fun to be with. Her experience and talent made the workshop a great success. Highly recommended.

I had a perfect morning working with Cariad in the autumn sunshine at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. She travelled with two huge bags full of gorgeous clothes; some vintage, some quirky, some hand made by Carrie herself - but all really beautiful.

As well as being a brilliant, very experienced model, she's also a photographer and generally a very creative, artistic person - all of which helped me lots, as I'm still quite new to model photography. She's very energetic, intelligent, knowledgeable, funny and just wonderful to spend time with. Looking forward to working with her next year. She makes me want to get better and better at photography! Highly recommended!

I'm starting to loose count how many times I have worked with this beautiful lady!! Cariad is absolutely stunning and poses with complete ease making the most out of available light and always excelling to get the very best. She is also a photographer herself so her knowledge of light, angles etc makes her a force to be reckoned with.

This time we were both invited to Leaf's Birthday Party and what a shoot it was, Cariad looked stunning in every pose!

Always a pleasure working with you and as always highly recommended to all photographers and creatives.

I met Cariad for the first time on the morning of the shoot, which was arranged 12 months ago as a birthday shoot for the wonderful Leaf. I found Cariad so easy to get along with and so relaxed. We met at Leaf’s and then collected Silk on route, the dream team was now assembled!!

Cariad is not only extremely beautiful, she has a most expressive face and poses with such ease, creating the most exquisite shapes. Like Leaf and Silk, Cariad knows instinctively when a pose is right, knows how to use light and simply what works. This made my job so easy, leaving me to concentrate on getting the image!

This is the first time I have worked with 3 models but, having such professionalism to work with was a dream. Cariad is a joy to work with and have around, she has a mischievous sense of humour, helping to make the shoot so much fun.

I sincerely hope to work with Cariad again, perhaps on a 1 to 1 basis, in the near future. Cariad is an awesome model and gets a 100% recommendation from me.

Thank you so much for a truly wonderful day   

I had a fabulous shoot with Cariad at Map Studios, Loughborough.

She’s a very likable model who has an amazing knack of grasping any image ideas instantly.

She’s enthusiastic and I would say she is the ideal model to work with amateur or pro-shooters alike. Easily recommended.

I organised a location shoot with Cariad. We had a very productive couple of hours in a few locations. Cariad is very easy to get on with and poses without need for guidance. We had discussed briefly outfits for the shoot - Cariad arrived with a good range of outfits and accessories that were perfect for the shoot. I'm very pleased with the images from shoot and I would highly recommend Cariad :)

I was pleased that was Cariad was chosen to be part of my lighting workshop as we had previously worked together on a designer dress project which Cariad was perfect and I know this was going to be just as good.

It was a pleasure to have someone who was lots of fun and could deliver beautiful looks that made every image taken a keeper which allowed me to concentrate on managing the lighting set ups.

So if can highly recommend Cariad as a perfect choice for not only working on a one to one but also as a perfect choice for workshops and I certainly look forward to working together in the future.

Cariad was the last to join our merry band for a trio shoot in Wales and what an addition to the group she was. Despite still feeling unwell from a recent bout of flu, she threw herself into the project with the same amount of energy and enthusiasm as the other two girls. She has a very elegant style of posing which complimented the other girls perfectly. A sharp sense of humour, as do all three :-), she is confident enough in her own photographic capabilities to offer suggestions and to share her creative ideas. Thoroughly recommended and I hope to work with her again in the future

Great shoot at an old lead mine yesterday with Cariad. She worked so easily and was happy to take on and suggest ideas as well. Almost every shot worked out well and the editing process is redundant as she is beautiful expressive and flawless. I imagine studio art nude would be a dream, perhaps later in the year.

Fred Archer

Enjoyed first shoot with Cariad,easy to work with ,happy to share ideas love the lamp shade at the end of the shoot. Look forward to the next time

Had another great shoot with Cariad, this time, due to the Great British weather a mix of studio and location work.

There is no situation that we confronted where Cariad did not produce her fantastic range of poses as well as a contribution to best use of space and light. A real professional, delight to work with and genuinely beautiful person.

Cariad, I first met at a group studio shoot and at the end of the evening I had the pleasure of her company as dropped her home safely .. After this meeting I'd really wanted to work with this lovely lady again .. On finding out that Cariad was in my area I was soon to book her, joined to by two photography friends we set out working from a studio, then onto derelict buildings and a farmhouse. Her modelling is outstanding with endless poses up her sleave. Communication throughout our shoot was faultless. I worked mainly with natural light and with Cariad having such a nice figure, this gave me gorgeous shadows and light over her body. (It's been very difficult selecting images to edit as she gives the photographer so many to choose from!)

Not only is this lovely model good at modelling, she is such a talented lady with an faultless personality being polite, and, oh yes, absolutely stunning without really knowing it :)

Can't wait to work with her again very soon.

I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to add images to their portfolio.

I had my second shoot with Cariad a few weeks ago. The first shoot was a pleasure and the second was even better.

Cariad is a fabulous model, a pleasure to work with and is a guarantee of stunning images. This shoot was a mix of studio and location and several genres. Cariad embraced all, creating striking images.

I am extremely pleased with the pictures that I get from my shoots with Cariad. I would highly recommend her and look forward to more shoots with her.

Cariad is fabulous and I can only echo WandaMash with regards to flawless skin and the lack of editing required! Had a great shoot with Cariad. Lovely girl and as Wanda says, a real chameleon who can do both high fashion, romantic and art nude. One of the best. Thanks for a great day! :D

WandaMash

I had my first, but hopefully not my last shoot with Carrie at the weekend. We shot at a manor house in Wales and from the very start Carrie was on board with my ideas. Carrie has flawless skin, absolutely no retouching required, her posing is elegant and effortless. The camera loves this lady - she is chameleonic and can change from romantic to fashion to art nude and back again with no problem at all. If you get the chance to work with Carrie then absolutely go for it - you will definitely not be disappointed.

What larks! Carrie is elegant and beautiful and loved by the camera, so it is a joy to shoot with her. Her poses are superb and she is game for something a little bit different and always gives it her best shot (little joke there as we did a set with her firing a shotgun and she nearly fell over backwards from the recoil).

Carrie was fantastic as a bride trying on wedding dresses and as a snooty country gal. Her positive attitude and sense of humour make her a real pleasure to be with and ensure that I get exactly the shots I want.

Hey, let's do it again. It was a great experience.

Had my first shoot with Cariad at Map Studios. The first thing that hits you is how genuinely nice she is. Very easy to talk to, really friendly and totally comfortable to be around. The second thing is her totally flawless complexion. The portrait shots do not need any skin work at all, and her skin does genuinely look like the shots in her port.

So to sum up, Cariad is a fabulous model and as easy a recommendation as I will ever give.

Today I had a little 2 hour shoot with Cariad and Map Studios in Loughborough.

All I can say is that she is a real pleasure to work with and really easy to get along with.

She needed very little guidance and was able to understand what I was trying to achieve. Some of it worked, some didn't. But you have to try :)

I would not hesitate in recomending Cariad and I will certainly work with her again given the chance.

I had another great shoot with Cariad at MAP studio in Loughborough. As always, communication before the shoot was excellent. Cariad was ready to go as soon as she arrived and we had a great time capturing a range of different images in the 3 hours we shot together. Cariad is so expressive and can feel the atmosphere within each different set up which produced a range of images that would fit well in any portfolio.

We have booked a couple of more shoots for the near future and I look forward to them immensely.

I recommend that if you are thinking of booking Cariad, do it now before all her time is taken!

Had a couple of hours of the lovely Cariad's time at Map during her week in residence. She is just as lovely a person as she is a model and it was a real pleasure to work with her. I think i have some of the best portraits I have ever taken...what more could you possibly ask? She really knows what she's doing, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
