After 4 years since our last shoot, what a super shoot I had with this talented young lady on a 1-2-1 session producing some excellent images.

Poses freely and to recommendations.

If you get the opportunity to work with this model I would highly recommend.

Had an amazing shoot with Cariad yesterday at Antwerp Mansion. Cariad is not only a fabulous model but a lovely person. Cariad worked with some photographers from my photography club. She was fun but professional, posing with or without direction. Cariad was creative and came with many outfits. If you haven't worked with Cariad yet you need to!

Caz and I have worked together before but this occasion simply blew me away. We organised an 'ice queen' set and straight out of camera it was obvious the shoot was working.

This was one of those occasions where all of us were involved , the studio owner Andy (Fareham Studio) helped with lighting, Kieran (her Partner) was first class helping with the snow, and Caz.

Such a fun shoot, it just worked, thank you Caz. See you when you get back.

An excellent shoot at Fareham Studio with Cariad today.

Cariad is a brilliant model. I came along with some ideas for the shoot, but I really didn't need them. Cariad is full of ideas and flows beautifully from pose to pose. I really ended up spoilt for choice in good shots.

Cariad is also a real worker, changes outfits in the blink of an eye and didn't seem to need or want a break.

Brilliant, one of the best. Thanks Cariad.

It’s five years since I worked previously with Caz, and I have to ask myself why did I leave it so long to work with such a super model. Her pre-shoot communications were excellent, and she brought a huge selection of outfits, including ones that I had specifically requested. Caz was accompanied by her partner Kieran, who was an extremely helpful assistant.

We shot at Basford Hurst Cottage, which gave us great scope for different sets. I wanted to use natural light, both inside and outside the house, even though the light was not great, so Caz’s experience as a photographer was invaluable in selecting where to pose.

Whilst we were outside in the woods the heavens opened and we got soaking wet. Caz took all this in her stride and was more concerned for me and my camera than herself. Back at the house, Leanne, the studio owner provided towels and a hot cup of tea, and we laughed at the experience.

Caz is a true professional but also a lovely person with a sense of humour and a beautiful smile. Together, we created some gorgeous images. She is a delight to work with, so I won’t be leaving it so long before arranging another shoot.

I was fortunate enough to have a four hour shoot with Cariad today after a brief group shoot a couple of years ago, looking at the pictures Ive so many usable images and I got far more into the four hours than I expected, many stylish usable pictures it will take ages to sort through so many are good. Cariad is friendly and easy to get on with and easily matches your pace and expectations it wa delightful to work with her again and needless to say shes a top level purpleport model Id recommend to anyone

A few days back, I worked with Cariad on our 12th remote session. We were working on one of my new projects, and, entirely unsurprisingly, she did a fabulous job. As usual, we ended up with a wealth of wonderful images, from things I'd entirely planned and some she made much better than I would have even thought of.

Posing, expression, styling, working with the light-she's absolutely fantastic to work with.

Highly recommended!

I have now lost count of how many time Cariad has been to Basford, but, I certainly hope there are many more shoots to come!!!

It's always an absolute pleasure to host Cariad, she is the pinnacle of a professional model, always brings so much creativity and enthusiasm to her shoots and always works well alongside every photographer.

I cannot recommend Cariad highly enough and I look forward to seeing her again soon!!! Thanks Cariad!!!

Had an incredible studio shoot with Caz in Amsterdam.

Cariad is by far the most professional model I worked with. She's extremely friendly and fun to shoot with, and every photo is a hit. Never had such a difficult time selecting pictures afterwards.

She gave the best poses in any situation and was very helpful in even things like getting the best lighting setup. She brought an enormous bag with many different outfits and we did many different styles in a short time.

Recommend very much to work with her if you get the chance!

Heartfelt gratitude for the time we spent shooting on location, it was a lovely morning session and I'll emphasize how enjoyable it was collaborating in the way that we did - exchanging posing and location ideas in and around the country house. Cariad posed effortlessly and I was impressed with how well she interprets light, combined with furniture and room positioning to make the best out of the composition. This combined with her easy-going and warm personality makes that I defitely hope we can create art together in the future again.

I had a fantastic shoot last Sunday at the Tank Space with the very beautiful Cariad Celis and the equally beautiful Ivory Flame. Cariad's pre-comms were excellent. Cariad is so easy to talk to and is such a lovely person as well as a brilliant model. We discussed the type of images we wanted to create and Cariad created some wonderful shapes and styles moving effortlessly though the water. We shot some floaty dress shots and some nudes with drapes both with Cariad individually and also in duo shots with the beautiful Ivory Flame. Both individually and in the duo shots Cariad helped create some wonderfully strong and dynamic shapes resulting in some great images. Very highly recommended. This is only my second shoot with the wonderful Cariad but I hope there will be many more. Thank you Cariad for such an exceptional shoot.

Had a great shoot with Cariad today in the Peak district, visiting multiple locations that offered some great environments to shoot in with the varied and mixed weather from rain to shine.

Cariad was great, posing effortlessly and offering input playing an active role with ideas. Her partner, Kieran was also on hand helping out with all aspects providing some good knowledge and insight as well into the different shots that were created. Can’t thank them both enough for a great morning out resulting in some great photos.

Another brilliant shoot with Cariad, she was one to the models on Nicole Rayner's "Stripped Back" event with Sally Sparrow Photography as the designer, I got some really fab images. Good to catch up again in person after our recent remote shoot. Highly recommended by me.

Dave Gibson

Another brilliant shoot with Cariad, she is stunning to look at and excellent to work with, lots of new images created and as always, she has a smile to die for. She was ready with the styles, and we got going creating images very quickly, from set to set we had a great time making lots of natural light shots to begin with and then moving on to be more creative with light using studio flash. Cariad is a photographer’s dream model; she moves effortlessly from pose to pose and stops when need to change a shot or do a close up. Her makeup is flawless, and she works really hard to get the best pictures for the photographer. Always a pleasure to work with her and I recommend her to others without hesitation. Wonderful.

Cariad was one of 3 models I had the opportunity to shoot at Basford Hurst studio over the weekend in a lighting workshop. She has been on my list of models to shoot, and I was not disappointed. Not only is she gorgeous, but a very accomplished model and generally a pleasant person to work with. My only regret is not shooting with her before. Thank you, Cariad, for a very relaxing shoot under some challenging lighting conditions.

Simon Bond Photography

This was my first shoot with this very talented model in a workshop at Basford Hust Cottage Studio. Along with solo 121 shots, I also shot her with two other models in some group themes and I have some incredible images both inside the house and outside in the garden areas. She is a lovely person to work with and poses very naturally. Highly recommended model. Thanks Cariad.

I worked with Cariad at Sally Sparrow's workshop at Basford Hurst Cottage. She was friendly, patient and thoughtful, moving fluidly from pose to pose and was happy to take the lead when my direction was lacking. I hope we will get the chance to work together again - highly recommended!

I really had a fantastic shooting today with Cariad Celis, a top model who knows how to place herself into the right mood to show the feeling that is to be expressed. She was on time and brought an extensive wardrobe selection. With every costume change and with every scene change came a completely new posing style. Absolutely a professional and great personality. We had a fun yet constructive time collaborating and developing creative ideas.

I am certain we will work on future projects together!

I highly recommend Cariad Celisas for anyone who is looking for a very professional model and someone who inserts constructive ideas into the shooting event!

Cariad came back to Basford for a sold out studio day!! It was an absolute pleasure to welcome her back to Basford, and, it's no surprise as to why she has so many incredible references!!!

Cariad is a complete professional and was easy to organise the event with. She is incredibly proactive at promoting her events, which, sold out within a few days!!

Cariad worked well at the studio and each photographer came back with a glowing report. She's a fantastic model with masses of enthusiasm to create the most incredible images!!!

Cariad is of course welcome back to Basford anytime and I really look forward to seeing her again soon at the Sally Sparrow workshop!! Thanks Cariad!! :D
