Carla Watkins is a photographic artist working in the realms of fantasy, magic & imagination, and different ways to look at the world. She lives & works on the north Essex coastline which suits her mermaid heart.
Through her photography, alter ego work, mermaiding, burlesque & cosplay, she creates images which could have come from a dream or from the pages of a book.
She also shoots mermaids, fantasy and magical portraits for clients – come & play!
