Very Helpful, Efficient and Highly Professional

Everyone at Online Models and Soho Fashion Studios made this a truly amazing and fun experience. Marky explained to me upfront what to expect giving me clear instructions for what to bring for the day, and even though I arrived a bit late, the team were very understanding and were able to quickly pull together the different looks that would allow me to create a versatile set of photos in the studio and outdoors. I felt very confident in their expertise and was able to leave it to the team to style the outfits, pick the accessories and do the makeup as if I was already a model.

Afterwards, I was taken through the feedback on how the day went, with all my questions answered which was really valuable, given I was completely new and inexperienced in the industry.

They were able to pinpoint what kind of modeling I'd be most suitable for and gave me immediate guidance on next steps which is invaluable.

I highly recommended the photoshoot experience for anyone that wants to build more confidence, or get a sense of what it would be like to get into modelling.

Amazing experience

What an amazing experience, at first I was a little unsure and I was extremely nervous when I visited Soho Fashion Studios. Online Models set up the experience for me and they were 💯 transparent throughout the whole process. They explained what would happen on the day and Vince guided me through everything up to my booking. I was concerned that there maybe a hard sell or pressure to buy a portfolio at the end. Vince explained there was no obligation to buy anything. One thing I will say he was true to his word. After the photo shoot, I had all my options explained to me very clearly and there was no pressure to purchase anything.
It was extremely professional and they spent time giving me some time to review my photos while giving positive feedback. They also explained the Industry, and what to expect if I wanted to pursue a modelling career. "It not all being glitz and glam"

I can't thank the teams enough, from Soho Studios and Online Models, I definitely walked away feeling amazing, with a spring in my step and 💯 more confident.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to boost their confidence or if they are looking for a modelling career with a supportive team 😁

Really unforgettable loved every second of it.

When I spoke with Vinze to book the photoshoot he made me feel confident and give me the power to get out of my comfort zone.
After that was a time of excitement and stress at the same time, never done anything like this so I was nervous.
All information were given to me really clearly and I got updated more than once that made me feel safe.
The day of the photoshoot I was really nervous before arriving to the studio but once the first make up started to get on my face I felt more and more relaxed.
Everyone was extremely professional and friendly so I felt at ease.
After the shoot when I spoke with the representative of online models I felt really thankful for the opportunity he was giving me and also he was feeling really sincere with his words.
He was explaining everything really well and checking always with me that everything was clear to me.
The pictures he showed me and the opportunity he told me I would have made me feel really excited about what to come.
So to conclude. Thank you a lot for this amazing opportunity you are giving me I’m so happy and excited looking forward to make all of you proud of your choice.

An Exceptional Photo Shoot Experience.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience during the photo shoot on March 4th. From start to finish, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Every team member, from the manager to the stylist, makeup artist, photographer, and everyone else involved, demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, support, and expertise. Their encouraging and positive demeanor truly made the experience memorable. It’s evident that everyone at Soho Studio is dedicated to helping aspiring models like myself realize their dreams. I’ve already recommended Soho Studio to several friends who aspire to pursue modeling careers. It’s truly an amazing platform to begin this journey. Here’s to many more successes for Soho Studio in the years ahead!

A Realistic Modelling Experience

As a potential mature model I thought I would be fairly realistic about my chances of breaking into a market I have only very limited experience of, but having been encouraged to come along and being assured there would be no risk (financial or otherwise) I decided to give it a go.

I have to say I had a fantastic time on the day, being treated like a star in the making with a professional photo shoot on location around the streets of Soho, as if I were already a paid model. To save time I was asked to bring a selection of my own clothing, but to replicate a real-world experience the designers selected items both of mine and theirs, adjusting my make-up and hair accordingly - they were looking for adaptability and flexibility for their clients.

At the end of the session I was invited to review my potential portfolio, and my potential as a future model explained to me - along with the necessary next steps should I decide to proceed along a professional route. Of course this means a financial commitment on both sides - nothing in life is free, and the team are part of a business after all - my decision at the end of the day was respected with absolute integrity.

I've some fabulous memories, some wonderful photographs and have come away feeling better for the experience. Everyone was super positive, and there was a lovely, friendly camaraderie with the other prospective candidates on the day.

I was skeptical at 1st as I thought that there was going to be something dodgy about meeting with Online Models, boy was I wrong !! I had the most amazing !! time, I was treated like a celebrity and had every need met. I had my make up done and my clothes styled by the team at Soho Studios. Every element of the industry and what is expected of me was explained. I had the best time, I would highly recommend any over 40s to apply to be a model with Online Models even if your unsuccessful you will enjoy the experience, and have the memories for a life time.

My fantastic experience with Soho studios

I was particularly impressed with the customer service. The staff made a great effort in making me feel relaxed and comfortable by engaging with me throughout with a "can do" attitude.

I was also impressed with the facilities and decor of the studio which reflected the highest form of professionalism and care taken by Soho studios.

I had a wonderful time with Online Models

I had a wonderful time at Soho Fashion Studios with Online Models, the experience was beautifully relaxed, the photographer was brilliant, the make up artist likewise, as were all the very friendly staff. Things never felt rushed, there was never any pressure, everyone was super helpful and just really nice,. Direction was clear and helpful, very professional, the outside shoots were fun but once again very easy and very professional, the results were impressive and assessment extremely helpful and informative as well as realistic. All questions were clearly answered, the business explained, no question dodged, yes you do have to pay for the Portfolio if they want to take you on as they did with me but once again, there was never hard sell or obligation. I loved the experience and the people, oh and the loud music was good as well, classic 70's disco music helped the mood flow

Online Models Brilliant Day

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the whole shoot. I was very warmly welcomed, the wardrobe manager evaluated all of my clothes, the hairstylist was particularly brilliant and the makeup artist was very talented.
There was a party atmosphere with good music to help everybody relax.
They paid great attention to the smallest detail from the top of my head down to my shoes. The photographer was very warm, friendly and complimentary He captured many aspects of my face and body producing beautiful results.

SCAM

SCAM! This is not real - DO NOT believe it. They didn’t even have my photograph uploaded and said I was in their top 5! I am fabulous and would make a wonderful model but the only pics they had from my Instagram account were of my over weight pug ‘Coco’! Do not waste your time or money - if it sounds too good to be true, it really is! Avoid and contact a real agent if you are serious about this x

True or False

They give a very good speech but why would you pay £50 to confirm your appointment? As a mature person one would expect that trust is key and also having contacted them in the first place means you mean business. How about they PAY me £50 for attending? And anyone can write a good review but i see no responses to the bad one! makes you think doesn't it. My advice would be not to do it with soho studios or online models. I have written to them and she hasn't got back to me, surprise surprise!!!

Oh they are very slick

Oh they are very slick. Presenting as a real bone fide compony when in reality it's a elaborate scam. I realised when I was on the phone with the 'director' blowing absolute smoke up my bum.
Clearly feeding me a script and didn't know how to react when I confronted them about this. During the call I could hear many more calls going on the background reciting the very same spiel to other unsuspecting people.
I wouldn't trust the positive reviews on here as they more than likely fake.
Don't do it. You are not going to be a mature model who earns grands a week. Its not happening darling. Not with this 'company' anyway.

Misleading information In response to ad on social media I was…

In response to ad on social media I was contacted by this company and sent a few photos of myself via whatsapp. I was supposedly interviewed for a photo shoot. I explained from the outset that I. hd previously had one of these. It was not until after i aid the deposit that I realised the shoot was at exactly the sane place where i had my previous one 6 months before. I explained this and requested it be cancelled and i be refunded I was refunded but after 2 days the company took my money again. I an abroad on holuday so unabke to ring them or my bankbit they are ignoring my whatsapp messages and emails. Do not touch this company!

Don't be fooled

Firstly, it's very deceiving as they sell you your portfolio ranging from £850 to £2600 which you actually don't need to register with actual modelling agencies. Secondly, the pre service was great and then once you have paid, they give you a bit of information and then you never hear from them again. They don't actually get you jobs. You have to apply to agencies with 3 photos without make up.

I've emailed them as per their reply and that email address is "not found"

The camera lady was so thoughtful and offered me her coat as we had to go outside for some shoots. The make up artist was gentle and soft and gentle and made me feel comfortable, they were not demanding at all and a joyful experience over all. I met some lovely people.
