Worked with Cariad and @Silk on my first duo shoot and I could not have worked with a better team. Cariad and Silk were simply awesome together and the whole day flew by as we worked on a number of ideas in and around their beautiful mid-Wales countryside.

We created some wonderful images and I can't wait to work through them.

When working with models, it doesn't get better than this! Thanks Cariad and Silk. Loved working with you both and can't wait to do it again :-)

Cariad is the complete package, everything you could possibly want in a model... gorgeously attractive, a beautiful figure, a repertoire of poses that is second to none and a personality that oozes fun, warmth and friendliness whilst maintaining a hard working, professional approach throughout

Therefore I had no hesitation approaching Cariad when considering a model to work with on one of my most ambitious projects to date, consisting of four challenging locations, working to a tight schedule dependent on tides, light conditions and, as it turned out, a blast of Arctic weather on the day too! Cariad excelled, as I knew she would, turning my planned vision into reality with class and style... bringing her own artistic talent and her eye for composition to the shoot really helped too, challenging me to consider several options I hadn't previously thought about

So in summary, Cariad is an absolute pleasure to work with, definitely a model I want to work with again (soon, I hope!) and heartily recommended by me... thank you for a fabulous and memorable day :-)

Had the most amazing day with Cariad today shooting in two contrasting venues around her home town.

As a very amateur photographer I was very nervous driving down to meet her, but my fears soon disappeared. She is such a lovely, genuine, caring and down to earth young lady. Oh did I mention she is also beautiful and gorgeous. Her passion, energy and commitment to her modelling was so much in evidence. She was so supportive in helping me with set up and poses as well as casting her expert eye on my photos and giving me advise that it made for such a relaxed shoot.

Thank you so much Cariad for a brilliant day. It was a pleasure and honour to work with you. I hope we can work together again very soon.

Confident, graceful and beautiful - it was an absolute pleasure working with Cariad recently. I grabbed a few hours with her whilst she was passing through Birmingham and it proved to be one of my favourite shoots for a long time.

Cariad knows how to work a wide range of styles, poses effortlessly and creates some amazing expressions. She's totally comfortable working fashion, lingerie and art nude which makes photographing her a dream.

Already planning a second shoot with her, totally recommend Cariad to any photographer.

Thanks, Caz :-)

Delighted to have the opportunity to shoot with Cariad. It was a late arrangement due to cancellations so a gain for me to be available. Her first visit to Scotland so I was able to show her a few locations and shoot a variety of genre to which she adapted with ease and enthusiasm. Offering spontaneous and creative poses Cariad is a true professional with a charming personality. I look forward to her next Scottish visit, come back soon.

Wholehearted recommendation. Great company, very conscientious, clear communication, naturally graceful. Cariad was a real pleasure to work with. She's very relaxed and natural in front of the camera, and was quick to understand what I was aiming for; directing her was very easy. Willing to go the extra mile .. we did some work with weights to put tension into muscles, which was demanding. And Cariad is an experienced artist and photographer herself, so she understands the creative process and the technical challenge of making good images. Would be great to work with her again.

This was my first shoot with Cariad but I am sure it will not be my last. Cariad is very relaxed and a beautiful, professional model, who is comfortable working on both sides of the camera. Therefore, for someone like myself who has lots of location experience but not as much studio knowledge, working with Cariad was very enjoyable.

I look forward to working with Cariad again in the future.

Had a wonderful shoot with Cariad on Sunday at Studio-Dee a very beautiful experienced and easy to work with model I am quite new too model photography and she was very patient and helpful very highly recommended .

Studio-Dee

We took advantage of the fact that Cariad was in the area on the back of a Photoclassic workshop that she had travelled all the way from Aberystwyth to Aberdeen to attend.

When Cariad agreed to work with us it was a most fortuitous stroke of luck. We had been planning an open day for some time and were struggling to find a suitable model that was available at the weekend.

On the day Cariad turned up early with the usual Tardis shaped suitcase (that contained all new lingerie and pristine clothes) and made herself at home straight away and proceeded to do her own make up to perfection which she changed several times during the day.

We had offered visitors a 30 min shoot with Cariad either in the main studio for some fashion work or upstairs on the Boudoir Set. Strangely even the visitors that had expressed a preference for a fashion shoot ended up shooting on the boudoir set once they had met her. On more than one occasion we had to remind visitors that their shoot time was limited and that others were waiting.

Cariad is a delightful and elegant young lady who possesses some exquisite modelling skills. She is very perceptive and was able to put some of the photographers with little experience of model work at their ease. Everyone that shot with her on the day were singing her praises. as they left.

From our point of view the day was a great success and that is due in no small part to Cariad's efforts, she made our visitors from the first to last feel welcome.

We are defiantly booking her again and can't recommend her highly enough.

Thanks Caz from all at Studio-Dee

I was fortunate to get a couple of sessions with Cariad during the recent Studio-Dee open day, one in the main studio and one on the boudoir set. Cariad is a delight to work with adapting to the requirements of the setting with ease, gorgeous and sultry on the boudoir set and elegant with a touch of humour during the fashion set. She is a totally delightful young Lady I can't recommend her highly enough.

PhotoClassic

Cariad responded to a last-minute casting call I put after the model I had booked for a workshop cancelled. She travelled all the way from Wales to Aberdeen to model for my Shooting in Confined Spaces Workshop and did a fantastic job. She's bubbly, chatty and good fun to work with, took direction and gave great input to give my delegates an excellent learning experience. Provided she doesn't steal my dog when she goes and stops giving me irritating earworms, I would be delighted to recommend Cariad, both as a model generally and as a suitable model for workshop/teaching situations.

Had the pleasure of shooting Cariad at PhotoClassic's workshop today, a great model who was willing to share her experience to enhance the experience. Hopefully she'll do a return visit to her Celtic Cousins at a future date.

I could just say "you must book Caz" but this wouldn't tell the whole story. We had a whole day to shoot and Caz had planned on visiting a number of locations. In the end we used 5 different places, all so different, that I felt I had completed at least a month's worth of shoots in one go. The best value for money shoot ever! Caz is a lovely person, so hospitable, so friendly, so relaxed and, of course, such a natural beauty. Can't wait to process all the images. Thanks Caz for a fantastic day. Despite the 7 hour round trip to Aberystwyth I will definitely plan another visit.

It was my first time working with Cariad with Darryl J Dennis at Saracen House Studio on Saturday and oh my, this lady is truly stunning!

Cariad arrived beautifully bare faced ready for makeup application. She has amazingly clear, glowing skin - which was so easy to work with! Cariad was friendly and just so much fun. She has a great creative eye and was buzzing with ideas on the makeup, which we bounced off of one another. She was also very patient with me throughout the whole makeup process.

Overall Cariad was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would totally work with her again. Thank you for an amazing day! :D

Highly recommended!

Cariad is a truly lovely girl, a very talented model and so very easy to get along with. Highly recommended...

Darryl J Dennis

I'd been looking forward to working with Cariad for some time - you only need to look at the images above to see why - and the actual shoot was even better than I hoped.

Cariad is simply amazing! from pre-shoot comms to the actual shoot, Cariad's professionalism shines through. Her modelling is flawless, only needing direction when the photographer couldn't make up his mind on a shot. Cariad's bubbly personality also makes her so, so easy to gel with and bounce ideas off of.

Incredible. Just loved this shoot.

Got to get my backside over to her soon to sort out another shoot.

100% recommended

Richard Lloyd

I did a masterclass with Alistair Cowin and Cariad was the model for the shoot. Very chatty and friendly, not to mention absolutely stunning. Being an experienced model as she is, she made my life very easy when it was my turn to click the shutter - shot after shot gave me a breathtaking image. Thanks Cariad!

Had a brill shoot with the gorgeous Caz last weekend , I really couldn't recommend her enough , stunning looking and poses effortlessly. We spent an hour wandering around canals then went on the severn valley railway to do some underwear shots which proved quite nervy at times with other passengers passing by ha ha , we had a good laugh and got some fab images so all was cool :) , thank you so much for an epic day and hope to work with you again soon :) x

I've been lucky enough to work together with Cariad for the first time and she is simply awesome!

She's beautiful, creative, relaxed, friendly, professional and full of great ideas. We worked on a number of themes through the day culminating in some beautiful portraits lit by the setting sun. The time simply flew by and I'm so pleased with the results we obtained.

I really hope to shoot with Cariad again as working with her has seemingly endless possibilities. I couldn't recommend Cariad more highly. Thanks Caz, loved working with you :-)
