Avoid

Got told my child had model looks and would be a great candidate Got sent to a studio in Old Street who apparently go by many different names Because different company names kept calling from there Turned up on the day from the very 1st encounter our spider senses where tingling It was unwelcoming very rushed and my husband was told to wait outside There was no introduction into what was going to happen or the process so this made us feel very uncomfortable We proceeded to go downstairs Where I thought hair and make make was going to happen as discussed on the phone I was told my daughter will not have make up as she s not over 18 That s fair enough I think But then the hair part they literally put a Bobby pin in her hair Then for the 2nd outfit just put it in a high pony tail The 3rd they just turned the high pony tail into a high bun all very rushed The hair and makeup artist I use that title through gritted teeth Then sat and vaped in the corner while my child was having photos During the initial call what I now know was a sales pitch I was told after the shoot we would have feed back and go through what her strengths were and if they felt she followed direction bla bla bla This did not happen As soon as we sat in the office it was straight to hard sales pitch Again I was told it was a no obligation to buy photos and we can buy each print for 50 each and it would reduce in cost the more you purchased On the day we were told we HAD to buy at least 10 prints for 500 or they would not support us in finding an agency We said this is fine we will take 3 images and pay 150 This was refused and was told no it s minimum of 500 or best they could do is 250 for 10 which made no sense whatsoever so ever They were unable to give us any solid information on what agencies they work with or their track record She just kept repeating there are a lot of scam agencies out there and we needed to be careful Again using fear to try and sell She refused to let us buy any of out child s images This is quite clearly a scam And the whole experience was horrendous What is worst they exploited my child She s new to how cruel the world can be so didn t understand why she had the shoot in the 1st place if we couldn t buy the photos We had to explain that some people are just out to make money and it s our job to protect her from those sort of people Our hearts broke for her Please avoid Any sales pitches from this company The studio we were sent to was in Old Street 27 Cowper Street
