Spotted a casting to work with Cariad at AuraPhotographic on a Saturday afternoon. I'd already booked the studio for Sunday and it was well worth going up a day early and spending a night away just to shoot with her: I'd wanted to for ages so grabbed the chance.

As a person friendly, easy going, open, fun, lovely to spend time with.

As a model, superb! So so so so beautiful. A figure to die for. Effortless posing. Willing to put up patiently with my nonsense ideas.

I'd love to work with Cariad again, the sooner the better!

I had a wonderful shoot with Cariad at Aura Photographic. My 3rd shoot with Cariad was more fantastic than I anticipated it would be. She is versatile - we shot from casual to beautiful dresses to art nude. Cariad is fabulous model with a great eye for detail. Someone who I always enjoy collaborating with. I can't wait until we get to shoot again.

My first shoot with Cariad, four hours at the excellent AuraPhotographic, alternating with shooting Ivory Flame, and ending with a little Duo.

Cariad was a total delight to work with. Great looks, with a bone structure to die for. Versatile, with excellent posing, great creativity and professionalism.

I very much hope we get to work together again soon. Cariad deserves the highest recommendation.

Another fantastic shoot with Cariad. Graceful, poised, professional and always creative, Cariad is an absolute pleasure to work with and you should do so at every opportunity!

I had the absolute privilege to shoot with this wonderful lady yesterday as part of a group event at PGD Photography in Leicester.

It's always a pleasure to work with someone who is confident in their look and confident in the way that they present themselves. Cariad certainly fits both criteria very well.

Unsurprisingly, she moves from pose to pose in a freeflowing, beautiful manner, generating so many super images that I'm spoiled for choice. Also very quickly develops a good working rapport with the photographers, helping the creative process with her gentle manner and personality.

Thank you Cariad - I hope we get the chance to work together again before too long.

Highly highly recommend!

Cariad is a graceful, pleasant, and a kind hearted person, who always brings her A game. This is the 3 rd time we have worked together, and are already planning her next visit.

This is because with Cariad you are guaranteed first class results!

Look forward to having her back for a remote day ;)

Cannot believe I am writing this.

I am so lucky to get the opportunity to have met and worked with Cariad on a duo shoot today! She is an absolute pro, an inspiration for many models (very much including myself!), and has a heart of gold.

Very thankful for today's shoot. I feel like in a little amount of time we got to shoot together, I learned so much from Cariad. Really hope I get another opportunity to meet and work with her again.

Thank you so much,

Cariad is just all round brilliant model and person. Today, we had an absolute pleasure having her shoot at the studio and we can't prasise her talent enough! Look at it, it's very apparent just from her portfolio alone...

Thank you ever so much for making your way up to Zavod and we hope to see you again soon,

Highest recomendation!

How to start this ...

... Cariad was on my "wants to work with list" from few years and I couldn't find the suitable solution for our first photossesion until last Saturday at Zavod Studio in Sheffield.

I had very good feeling that my concept for the whole photosession there can be accepted by Cariad and we would be able to create some amazing art together. On top of that I suggested the colaboration with the studio owner Xenia for some additional sensual duo art, and I believe we all worked as unit in order to achieve amazing poses and photos.

... I am very happy that I worked with Caz and I hope to be able to work with her again this year.

Highly recommended model !!

Thanks, Rafal

I had the pleasure of working with the delightful Cariad yesterday. She and Carla Monaco modelled at a 'Film Noire' themed event organised by NigelG at Lampworks studio in Birmingham.

Cariad is an absolute pleasure to work with. Talented, hard working, professional, easy to get along with, beautiful, creative and great fun. We worked through a number of different sets, lighting set ups and outfit changes. Cariad and Carla worked beautifully together and individually, producing amazing images throughout the day. A thoroughly enjoyable and productive shoot. Would definitely like to work with Cariad again, hopefully soon.

An unreserved 100% recommendation from me. Do yourself a favour, book a shoot with this fabulous lady. You'll be very happy that you did.

Thanks again Cariad.

Mark Hallworth Photography

A small group of us Photographers booked Cariad and Carla Monaco for an afternoon of portraiture.

We certainly won the jackpot with these 2 models.

Cariad is simply a superb model, poses with little to no direction, totally understands what makes a good image and is willing to try new ideas. Also helps that she's so relaxed and easy going, chatty and fun to work with.

A totally top drawer model and I suggest you book her you will not regret it.

Thankyou Cariad for helping me create some stunning images.

I had a second shoot today with Cariad, this time at the Haunted Museum in Stoke. Such an unusual venue benefits from such a top quality model, and Cariad was my first choice. Quick, easy communications, effortless posing and the ability to create moods to match the theme make Cariad the perfect choice when you want to be creative. I certainly hope to shoot with her again.

Well what can I say about my first time shooting with Cariad today other than Wow This lady is fantastic, Cariad was fun, easy to get on with and a delight to shoot. Took direction well which wasn't needed at all. Cariad was full of energy throughout the shoot, we fly through the sets with ease.

A great first shoot with a model that loves her work. High recommended

Thanks again Cariad can't wait until the next time

I had a shoot with Cariad this weekend Im not much good at gushing references so I dont normally give them but I had to say. Brilliant.

Jon Downs

If I had to use one word to describe Cariad it would be “wow”, actually ... I’ll make a slight correction … “WOW”.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending a very enjoyable and productive weekend with Carrie and her partner Kieran a few months back. What a really lovely welcoming couple they are. Kieran is also a fantastic chef, another wow there!

I wanted to wait until I’d processed all the photos before I wrote this reference simply to give it time to really sink in how good the shoot was. The hit rate was through the roof, there were way too many ‘keepers’ (never a bad thing) … just WOW.

I’d wanted to shoot with Cariad for as long as I’ve seen her work, simple as. She has a depth, beauty and a poetic eloquence to her poses as well as an emotional depth to her expression.

Am I speechless, not quite, but almost.

Would I work with Cariad again? f**k yeah!

Please Carrie, can I shoot with you again? pretty please

Amazing!

An awesome day with Cariad.

We had an open agenda - very much dependant on what the weather would throw our way. The evening prior saw the forecast far from ideal but no rain and minimal wind. A location shoot was agreed.

We met not long after dawn in the misty Derbyshire countryside. The forecast was for the mist to lift after an hour or two so we agreed to go ahead with the location. What followed was and fantastic day of location shooting - rocky outcrops, rivers, woodland. The mist added a wonderful atmosphere to the first location, it failed to clear whilst we were there but we took on the challenge it presented us and created some wonderful images.

Whatever the theme, style, location the modelling is sublime, no need to direct, present the idea and Cariad simply delivers, a bonus when communication is almost impossible over the noise of a babbling brook.

An abundance of styling options was brought along, far more than we could possibly use, but the preparedness testament to how much Cariad puts into shoot preparation.

All the locations previously researched and scouted by Cariad and her partner Kieran. Their knowledge of the area is excellent, proposing locations that suited both the conditions, time of year and my fitness level - I'm not design for hills!!

Think this was my fourth time working with Cariad across a whole range of styles, locations and themes and each time a superb shoot experience.

Of course highly recommended, and hopefully we'll shoot together again.

Richard Spurdens

Worked with Cariad, for the second time this year, and again it was a productive session.

We covered a range of styles from fashion looks to Artistic nudes.

We produced some cool looking images.

Thanks again Cariad.

I would Certainly recommend working with her and hopefully I will again

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Cariad for the first time on a Summers Abroard event in Spain. One of three models she was quite happy to work as a three, a pair or on her own. Cariad is very sociable and fun to shoot with a great knowledge of posing and seems to know when something is working or not. Always open to different ideas she is hard working and wants to go that little bit extra to help get the image you are after. Cariad has a great sense of humour, good to talk too and a very professional model.

I hope our paths cross in the near future as I would love to work with her again.

Highly recommended.

PS....Can I have my mojo back now please Cariad! :)

Fantasy Dabblers

We enjoyed a week (6 consecutive days shooting) with Cariad in Spain. She worked with style, energy, and good humour throughout. She worked in a variety of locations, including townscapes, countryside and woodland and seashore. We have only previously worked with Cariad in an indoor location shoot. This time she was able to impress us further with her adaptability in the different locations and styles. Shoots included different fashion styles, swimwear and to artistic nude. We loved the dramatic looks she created during the flamenco street theme.

We hope to work with Cariad again before long..

Summers Abroad

Cariad has modelled on numerous UK events for us but this was her first time joining us abroad. After being rearranged a couple of times due to covid we were super excited to finally host her on our Spain event!

Cariad got on with all the photographers and the other models on the event which made for a great social atmosphere in the downtime. She has such an infectious personality and a heart of gold too, she’s one of the kindest people we have came across whilst running these events!

Not only that but she is an incredible model! Her posing ability is second to none and she is so creative, constantly putting in that extra mile and suggesting outfits/styling etc to ensure the photographers get the best possible images they could get.

We highly recommend Cariad and very much look forward to having her on more events in the future :)
