AVOID AVOID VISUAL STUDIOS

This review is a zero star. Avoid the visual studios. They are a liar, specially Maria, the general manager. She is unprofessional and the way she try to convince you after a photoshoot is just not right. She convinced me to sign a contract without read it because she didn't give time for it. And while she showed me pictures, she kept put price down and I ended up with the £500 package. And I paid £220 already without portfolio and work because there is no agency. They don't put you in contact with any agency. And now I ended up with lawyers behind me and about to take me to the court.

All started last year when I received a call from visualstudios team asking me to go to London for a photoshoot and it is completely free and I asked many time to him If he is sure it is free and he confirmed that was. And the only money I should pay is £50 deposit but wasn't free and it's not free. And they don't guarantee you any model job. It is just a way they make money. If you are read this take it as advice because bad reviews exist for a reason. No one comes here and lose time to write bad review just for fun. I wish I could read their review that day a Received their call.

I took my 11 year old daughter to a photo shoot to make a portfolio. I now know everything they told me was a lie. My daughter doesn't need a portfolio and all the agencies they put me in touch with were scam agencies and I took the portfolio to a legitimate agency and she said even if she needed a portfolio the photos were no good. They knowingly took the last £1500 Of grandmas inheritance money I had. These people have no morals or shame. I tried to get the majority of my money back but they just didn't reply to my several emails. Horrible people

I'm gutted I had to even give these con artists one star to leave a review!!
About a year ago now we were scammed out of £500 of our hard earned money by these absolute shameless people. We took our 7 year old son to their fake money making studios in London for a photoshoot which he was fantastic at.. he loved every second of it.. hair and make up and being in front of the camera. We were then taken into a room to look at and discuss the photos that had been taken. The sneaky woman even went as low as showing us pictures of her apparent children on her phone modelling to try and get us to sign up. Our son was in the room while all this was happening and the woman kept telling him he's a natural and how well he'd done and how much potential he had.. so of course, us being naive to the industry bought into their utter fake dribble and handed over £500 for a disc containing the photos. After doing some research we realised the photos were all unusable and totally unsuitable to apply to agencies. We we're told our son needed a portfolio to get into the industry which is a complete lie.. agencies to not want portfolios and photoshopped posy pictures, a simple natural snap taken with your mobile is fine! Now that I know more about the industry I realise what devious, money grabbing, scam artists these people really are!! They home in on the fact parents love their children and believe they are capable of anything! I am now a member of a brilliant Facebook group for model parents and I am shocked at how many people fall for this on a daily basis and end up asking for advice and help on our group! Shocking!! PLEASE... Do not be another mug.. PLEASE do not take your children to these people and PLEASE do not line their pockets further!!! They need to be stopped!!!

Visual Studios will take your money …

Visual Studios will take your money …

They are liars, absolute liars!
they first collect 50-100 pounds to reserve photo shoot, then you show up spend all day taking pictures. They tell you that you need portfolio, prints and other nonsense to become a model, they sell you 5 pictures for minimum 300 pounds or more! And they put pressure on you as you can only decide if you want it ON THE SPOT!

Visual Studios will take your money and then you'll never hear from them again. Do not trust them.

Lies, deception and confusion! This people are criminals making money from giving people false hope. STAY AWAY!

“I am giving only 2* to Visual Studios as I am feeling mislead. The shoot itself went well and everyone were very nice. Sienna O assured me and my husband that our daughter is very talented and she definitely will be very good model. She even gave us a discount and instead of 10 prints offered 20 (at the end we received only 10) so we could buy one of the packages they have. She told us ‘that getting in to the modelling industry is a very big competition and our daughter needs a professional pictures, portfolio, Z card and even prints to have a chance!’

They ‘can provide everything, but only if we take the decision straight away’.

A few months later I have found out that my daughter didn’t need any of those to be a model. I feel very disappointed and absolutely mislead.
