I would definitely recommend this company because they are very helpful and thoughtful in making you feel special and at ease.
I am a influencer and was looking for some professional photos and what outfits are suitable for my job that I'm doing.
Great job guys and keep up the good work.

Really accommodating staff I brought my 3 year old into the Birmingham studio unfortunately she wasn’t able to follow the instructions at the time, the staff were so patient with her and did try very hard. I was fully refund my £50 deposit and we will return in a few months when she’s ready.

I had a wonderful time, the staff made me feel at ease and after just one session, I tried on a couple outfits and already felt much more confident!

I applied for modelling and was called to book my shoot with them- I was sceptical at first as this was all new to me, however I took a leap of faith and decided to try out in Manchester - I must say I had an amazing experience, I decided after day one that modelling is not a good fit for me, and everyone was completely understanding, my £50 was refunded on the Wednesday 3 days after my shoot, so I’m not sure what people on here are talking about ???
Great day, amazing staff and finally found out that modelling isn’t for me.

I went to a photo shoot with this company and enjoyed the session so much. The young lady who organised my outfits put stuff together that I would never have thought of. My hair stylist had to deal with natural black hair and my husband lived the styles that she created. The photos your you at ease and I guess he could have got me to do any pose. Love love love this company who showed me nothing but respect. John Thomas, thank you for your encouragement and kind words. You were brilliant taking time to talk me through everything. And giving me every guidance that I needed to get started. I now have a number of people who seem interested in ME

This company is a scam
This company is a scam. They called me and asked for my bank card details immediately before explaining the service to me, they said they required a 50£ deposit for the shoot that was only refundable if you cancel 7 days in advance, which they tell you AFTER they have pressured you to make an appointment that is earlier than 7 days away. They say paying for the portfolio is optional, but then if you're 'successful' they want to use the images to refer you to agencies. So you have to pay for the images, otherwise you can't be successful and the whole exercise is pointless. It is very misleading and is simply a portfolio company masquerading as a model support service. You could get much better portfolio images for a lot cheaper somewhere else.
scam
scam, keep getting blag phone calls calling me a sk@nk and all sorts, all threats are posted to social media. my snxpchat is: moleliz18
The photoshoot experience was itself…
The photoshoot experience was itself good, people were just fine and a happy place and did not feel uncomfortable for a photoshoot of my 4 year old boy.
But, we were told that after photoshoot we will get a refund of the 50£ which we never got and no one was willing to tell us the process..they were just saying you will get a call which we never received and they never mentioned from whom. After the photoshoot we were presented with options on how to proceed for modelling but the guy was rude and not taking any questions gently but instead was focusing only on making us take some kind of package and we did not feel comfortable with his mannerism and the way he spoke..so we just left refusing any package. But, now even after 40 days no sign of getting our refund.

Spoke to a gentleman called Malachi that reassured me I had what it takes to be a model, very carefully explained the process and with a little bit of trust I am exceeding the expectations. My confidence has sky rocketed and I’m ready to carry on progressing as Malachi said “watch this space”

I went to the studio in Camden London for a photoshoot and was told my makeup would be done by the same person that done Rita oras makeup but when I asked the makeup artist she had no idea why they said that. I felt my photo shoot was a bit rushed and this experience has knocked my confidence massively as the makeup artist hardly put any makeup on me and I don't wear much makeup anyway. My hair was very damaged from heat after she used the straighteners and I looked like a poodle. I wish I just done my own hair and makeup but they say to turn up with nothing on. They literally spend minutes on your hair and makeup they didn't even put liner on my eyes or mascara just a dab of eyeshadow. After the photoshoot I got taken into a room and they are really trying to sell it to you that you are good and your photos are amazing but all I felt is so ugly seeing myself at different angles. I just wish I never went and stayed in my little bubble where I imagine that I'm pretty 😥
