References for Carmen The Bohemian

When I contacted Carmen to initially arrange a shoot she suggested that we start with a WhatsApp video chat, which allowed us to break the ice and get to know each other. Having arranged a date I went to her home and set up my studio lights, after a welcoming cup of tea from her. Carmen is a highly articulate and intelligent lady, very vivacious and outgoing, and has the ability to anticipate a pose just before it is suggested to her. Being also an artist's model Carmen knows exactly what to do and how to pose in an artistic and creative way. She is very hard working and has a great selection of outfits to wear. We created some really lovely images and the shoot went by far too quickly. Carmen is highly recommended as a model and I am very much looking forward to our next shoot.

Another fun, chatty and amazing shoot with Carmen.

We had planned to do some outdoor shots in her garden followed by some indoor art nude body-scapes. After the wettest week for months it looked as though the weather would spoil our plans. However, we were so lucky no rain until 10 minutes after we moved indoors.

Every shoot with Carmen is like a voyage of discovery as we chat non-stop about any number of crazy topics, all of which are interesting and great fun. This always results in a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable shoot.

I fully recommend working with Carmen and look forward to doing again soon.

Thank you for a great time Carmen.

What a wonderful creative shoot with Carmen.

This lady has art running through her veins which helps enormously to create lovely images.

Carmen is a wonderful host, providing plenty of refreshments during the shoot.

Carmen is a natural in front of the camera and has plenty of energy to keep posing (and engaging in a whole range of topics) during the shoot.

Her house is a great place to shoot with lots of different places to shoot inside and outside.

I highly recommend Carmen to other photographers.

I photographed Carmen at her home shooting mainly nudes. It's a good location with different rooms and if the weather is kind very good natural light. She's a an interresting person and model. she works hard to get images.

I more than happy to recomend her to any photographer.

This was the third shoot Carmen. Another duo, this time with Veronica. It was a blast. The ladies had organised this sometime back and since I had worked with both before we got right into the creative mode from the off. In facts it was so good we extended the session to get more pics o the drive. Fully recommended .

My duo shoot with Carmen and Veronica was FUN! The best kind of shoot as far as I am concerned. Carmen works very hard, the coffee and cakes are first class and she is a lovely, lively model willing to try out new ideas and poses, as well as being a very able photographic assistant. I would work together with her on her own or as a duo with Veronica in a heartbeat. A big thank you Carmen - a great shoot.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Carmen yesterday. It was a duo shoot with Veronica de Savary and I can genuinely say was one of the most fun shoots I have ever done. All three of us were chatting and laughing throughout which meant that there was a very relaxed atmosphere and we captured some great images.

Carmen is the complete professional, she was well prepared for the shoot and willing to try the weird and wonderful poses we came up with between us.

I can not recommend her highly enough.

It was wet, and somewhat cold, but the shoot went ahead, interspersed with warm mugs of tea.

The shoot was a duo shoot with Carmen the Bohemian and Veronica De Savary which produced some great images and was exceedingly good fun. These two ladies worked so well together, and were extremely professional, needing very little direction, which considering the weather was very handy.

Selecting the best images is going to be hard as there are so many.

I most certainly would work with both again. Thank you both.

Today was a fun day. I did my first shoot with the hugely interesting Carmen. As well as being a first class model she is such an amazing and interesting person.

Prior to the shoot we had video called so we both knew exactly what we were trying to achieve. Following a tour of her quirky home to decide where we would be shooting we got down to creating some amazing images.

The shoot flew by and we did not stop chatting whilst shooting and I am already looking forward to working with this amazing lady again.

Very highly recommended.

This was the second shoot with Carmen in the space of two weeks. During the last shoot I had this idea of pairing her body with another model I had shot in the past, with similar characteristics. The aim was to create a contrast of ages. For many this would be a challenge. Carmen is a bold passionate person. Unfazed by the challenge she turned up early and ready to go. Carmen got into the shoot as if she had a long career of duo shoots. The chemistry worked and we had a super shoot. Thank you Carmen and Irida

I really enjoyed working with Carmen and we achieved some great results.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Carmen's hospitality when I arrived at her place was wonderful. Great conversation and great coffee. The time flowed by, with Carmen contributing her own ideas to the shoot and offering a great selection of different outfits. She made sure that I got all the shots I wanted and was very open to ideas.

I'd highly recommend Carmen to any other photographer thinking of working with her.

First time working with the beautifully charismatic Carmen, and woo what a superb shoot it was.

Immediate connection and like minded creative vision that made our shoot very productive from the first shot.

Carmens input into the shoot made it easy for the shoot to flow and makes a photographers life very easy. We explored some ideas new to Carmen and she nailed every scenario.

Delightful lady to work alongside and we are discussing shoot no2 in the not too distant future.

100% recommended

First off I like a girl who picks up the phone and communicates in detail about the shoot. A model, that lets you know they are on the way and turn up on time.Carmen is easy to work with, she absorbs direction and can adjust poses with little effort. We experimented with 3 or 4 different lighting set up for me to learn what some of my new toys can do. In each case she appreciated the different qualities of the set up and worked with me to get the best out of the shots. If you know what you are trying to accomplish Carmen is an asset. Carmen also brought a extra dimension to my my long standing project Body Matters. A mature elegance complimenting the many other body positive qualities I try to capture. Chatty, with worldly experience, 3 hours went by with a good yield of shots.

Had my first shoot with the gorgeous Carmen. She was wonderful, fun, creative, hardworking and happy to experiment. Definitely one of my favourite ever shoots. She seemed to understand what I was after without me having to direct too much. She was good company and the results are impressive - highly recommended. I'm already looking forward to my next shoot with her... Well done, Carmen.

I had an amazing first photo shoot with Carmen today and she's an excellent model. We tried various outfits and poses and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone. What a fantastic lady to work with.

Pre comms with Carmen where excellent (including a video chat) on the day a coffee and chat as well as tour of her home enabled us to settle on a location in her living room and we shot a Sunday morning vibe.

Carmen is fun to shoot with, her enthusiasm shines through, she listens to direction and learns quickly. We have captured some fabulous and fun images highly recommended

I contacted Carmen to ask if she might be interested in posing for our Saturday life drawing group. It wasn’t something she had done before but she was enthusiastic at the prospect and we agreed a booking.

What a success! Carmen arrived early which gave us a chance to discuss poses and to introduce her to the other artists. From the start she was confident in her poses and very receptive to direction, being keen to achieve what the group wanted. Carmen has a natural elegance and shape that makes her a delight to draw and can hold a pose quite beautifully with a natural instinct for a good pose.

She was immediately popular with the group and we booked her again before she left for another Saturday with us.

Very difficult to believe this was Carmen’s first life drawing session as she was confident from the start and already appears to be an accomplished life model. I’ve no hesitation in saying she is very highly recommended.

I think Carmen sprang from the Model Box fully formed - or she is a very quick learner. I had a fabulous and interesting day (conversation never flags) shooting pics for her portfolio. Although she took on my ideas with interest, she also had lots of suggestions to add and worked hard to ensure that the images were to the point. I think we shot six sets in all - punctuated by tea and biscuits- and the success rate for the images was high. Highly recommended by me - just don't get in before me in the queue to book her! Amazing, with a touch of the African Exotic!

2nd Shoot with Carmen ads a portfolio builder and she wanted to revisit and reshoot some of what we did last time with a view to improving it. She also wanted some stocking shots and had ideas about how they should be shot.

She kindly cooked me breakfast after my long drive and we had a good chat. Carmen is lean and has great definition and photographs beautifully.

Still learning what looks good in poses and is definitely getting better every day.

Her body confidence growing and looking always looks better than last time.

I have no hesitation in working with or recommending Carmen.

She has the potential to be a great model and life model with a few more shoots.

Thank you Carmen and hope it goes well in the future.

It was a huge privilege to be afforded Carmens first shoot reference on PP.

Her inexperience is completely overshadowed by her natural way and relaxed posture.

She was extremely hospitable and looked after me from arrival to departure and made sure I was comfortable all day. We shot a range of shots for her folio build and she was great. Totally comfortable in her skin and prefers no cloths but never the less can work clothed with ease. I feel like I have known her forever and we had a great rapport from the off. I am sure that she will become a firm favourite in pp long term. Keen to learn and always checking if her posing is good or not and happy to be corrected. Had some of her own ideas and went with the flow also. No hesitation highly recommended.
