I’m posting an honest review in hopes…
I’m posting an honest review in hopes to save a few people the time stress and money of using this studio. I took my 7 year old a few months ago I’m completely new to all this so wasn’t sure how anything worked I just assumed by getting a portfolio my son would easily get work. I paid £700 for a portfolio which is cheap compared to what some people have paid. On the day the shoot is nice to be fair they make you feel like a model telling you oh you will do well but it’s proving quite hard to find work now without spending more money. They make it very clear they aren’t an agency but that they will help you gain work. I tried a few different agencies off my own research and none would Accept my son’s portfolio. If you want modelling work you are better going to an agency and paying them for a portfolio because they are going to get you work with their portfolio. I received an email from ts studios with a list of agencies my son could use. After speaking with them all it’s come to my attention il need to spend minimum another £200 to sign on with them. If I had just had more knowledge on the situation I would have gone to an agency at first and spent £300 for them to take pictures and sign him up. I’m just posting awareness as this has caused a lot of heart ache and I don’t want anybody else in a similar situation to endure this.

We encourage all clients to remain respectful and professional, even when things don’t go as expected.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we understand your frustration, it’s important to approach these matters with clarity and fairness, especially when making public claims that could seriously impact the reputation of others.
We’d like to clarify a few important points:
You were satisfied with the images at the time of purchase. We take great pride in the standard of our work, and the overwhelming majority of our clients are happy with the quality of the photography they receive. Complaints about the professionalism or presentation of the portfolio are extremely rare.
The portfolio provided is industry-standard and suitable for use across various casting platforms and agencies — not just those listed in our recommendations. If certain agencies declined to accept it, we would appreciate specific context so we can review and support you further.
We are fully transparent in stating that we are not an agency and do not offer or guarantee work. Our service is focused on giving aspiring talent the professional tools — including high-quality images and guidance — to pursue opportunities independently.
While your intentions may be to warn others, making exaggerated or misleading claims may unintentionally harm those who are genuinely trying to make use of their portfolio. It also misrepresents the service you received and undermines the positive experiences of many others who were able to use their materials productively.
We strongly encourage you to reach out to our customer service team directly so we can help address your concerns constructively and professionally.
Let’s focus on solutions and respectful dialogue to ensure every client receives the best support possible.
My experience was really good

This is a photography studio offering…
This is a photography studio offering services to create a portfolio at extortionate prices. They are not a modelling/casting agency. The photography was lovely. The senior consultants intentions were only to less the packages making it very uncomfortable and difficult to buy even one photo. Makeup was lovely and the service provided was nice: we were told there was too much paperwork Involved if we wanted to purchase even one photo.
Misleading. Please be cautious.

Overall Good experience
Had a wonderful experience with the entire team. The makeup artist was warm and attentive, tailoring the look to suit my preferences. The photographer offered helpful direction with poses and wardrobe, and captured some truly beautiful shots. Would be happy to work with them again in the future.

Scam artists
Experience on the day is good, be warned they will upsell you based on getting contracts with agencies and they will not give you that. They took advantage of me then harassed for money despite genuine complaints and a poor service forcing you to go down the legal route. I would advise stay away if you’re new to the industry, they also tried to remove my review based on ‘defamation’ and others seem to be having similar experiences

Absolutely d8sgusted. My daughter had £50 scammed out of here. The studio was shut, with no hair, make up or photographers present. She is so upset to have been promised so much, yet not received a service. A COMPLETE SCAM

Everyone is very welcoming and very accommodating to my needs. As someone not familiar with poses, or posing in general, for a photoshoot I was prompted concise. It helped me feel confident and comfortable.
