Soho Fashion Studios Avis 817

I was pressured into paying £2300 for 50 photos & was supposed to have a supportive manager to assist with possible modelling placements, however, she was no help at all & I now realise I've been scammed. We need to do something to stop this. Having been dissolved last year, the website is still active. There must be others like me who were conned ? Perhaps together we can all get our money back?

I too have been scammed by this company. They recruit trusting older people. I saw them on facebook and they looked legitimate. It is very disappointing and I am also out of pocket. I have contacted action fraud and if recent you may get some money back.

I was scammed by this company when they were called The Fashion Studio on Edgware Road. I went in thinking it was a genuine opportunity to start a modelling career. After a photoshoot, they pressured me into buying one of their “packages” (gold, platinum etc.). I paid a large sum of money, but it was all lies.

Since then, they’ve changed names and now call themselves Model Brookers at Hassle Road, E1 2LR. This is the same scam under a different name. They take people’s money and never provide any real modelling work.

Please don’t fall for it like I did. They prey on people’s dreams and then disappear. Report them to Action Fraud and warn others.

Soho Fashion Studios is a scam. I paid and received nothing in return. I was told I had a shoot for P&O Cruises in Manchester and needed to pay £100 as security , which would be refunded with the fee earned. I paid, then the contacts from the Soho Fashion Studios stopped communicating...there was no shoot for P&O cruises!

The scam also included posing as another company, using their images.

Shocking scammers charged my wife £2500 for a portfolio and management never got one job photos were terrible had to be done twice. Now they have vanished with the scam.

Group of stammers. Do not waste your time. I was scammed £2250 for 50 photos and Z card and modelling opportunity but all was lies by the time I realised it, it was too late. Don't listen to Lisa or Stewart or Oliver or anybody there, you will be scam. Do not pay any deposit for photoshoot, that's their first step of roping you in, if you have already done so, ask for refund. Don't get scammed

where do i start, the stylist was incredible picked exactly the outfits for me, the photographer just instantly put me at ease as it was the first time i had done this, the shoot locations were perfect and the day was just amazing i cannot recommend the highly enough, what an absolute joy
thank you for the most amazing day

Soho Fashion Studio’s
Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful
I had a lovely day and experience the atmosphere was relaxing and calm, lovely to have hair and makeup done with putting outfits together
I would highly recommend to anyone to attend a photo shoot with Soho Fashion Studios

I travelled from outside London and found Soho Studios to be a pleasant, welcoming place. The styling and make up were spot on with different looks in different locations and poses showing the versatility of the model. It was all really well organised and enjoyable, friendly people who were clearly professional, well qualified in their trade. Would definitely recommend.

The whole team from the receptionist through to the photographer are professional.
They all make you feel comfortable and at ease with having your photo taken.
They are also friendly, helpful and make your modelling experience there easy and a complete joy.
It goes without saying the quality of their images is exceptional.
If you're a client or modelling there, this is great place to work. 10/10

Travelled down for a photo shoot from Lancaster .
Thought it might be fun and it was !
Have four outfits selected , four different looks , hair and makeup wise . Then two indoor and two outdoor sets of photos .
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful and it is indeed a great day out .
You are offered a portfolio at the end of the day .
Both Soho Fashion Studios and Classic Models were professional at all times .

Had a fabulous day at the shoot being greeted by a fantastic team of people. Upon arrival, they unpacked my bag for me with 4 outfit changes I had brought along with me. The venue was funky with a fab vib !! .. I then had 4hrs with them having hair and make up done, and then with my photographer taking photos inside and outside the venue, guiding me on what to do and how to do it. She was great !!
I was then told to come back at 6pm to view my photos. These were wonderful to see and then offered a package to start up my portfolio.
It was a great day never to be forgotten.
Thank you all for your time and experience I will never forget.

SCAM !! They lure you in saying you have passed the initial call. Then they book you into a test shoot. Tell you that you have amazing hair, butter you up. Then the hard sell comes in to buy a package which is useless!! They told me they had contacts with high street brands, another lie !!

This is a Scammer extracting money from vulnerable of mature age.
Shame on Trustpilot and the authorities in not bringing him to justice.

Hello,
From the moment I walked into the studio on the13th November 2024 I was immediatly welcomed by a charming man who was on his way out but helped me with my suitcase down the steps
Also complemented me on my outfit.

Immediatly sirted 4 outfits for my 4 shoots, 2 indoor, 2 out from casual to glam

My portfolio has now been froward to me today by email earlier than promised.

I will now move into the next stage of this journey without any over extended expectation of what I can achieve. I will not add any further comments here as my profession relationship with Soho Fashion Studios has now ended successfully,

I can concluded that this is not a scam or a con. They have deliver on what I have paid for and I am more than satisfied with the product they delivered.

There is a quote which says that the camera dose not lie. I will leave that at that for you all to digest and form your own opinions.

A comment was made on one of these post which I would like to strongly disagree with, where the individual was made to look like a drag queen. That is an insult to the makeup artist. As a professional she understood my skin tone and followed her brief for the days shoot. Through her exceptional talents the artist made it appear that we had been working together for many years to achieve perfection.

I would also like to give praise to the photograph who got the best out of me on the day which was reflected in his work.

Therefore, I can only assume that those who have reported having problems with this company may have not honored their side of the contract and that is maybe why their problems have remained unresolved.

I will leave it up to those who are reading my post too decide if this is a genuine post or they believe the negative comment written about this company My account of events is a true and accurate reflection of events from start to finish.

As I said yesterday manage your own expectation of what you what to gain from this experience as no one is forcing you buy the portfolio or attend the photo shoot. If you feel you are being put under pressure to purchase something you do not want polity excuse yourself from the room and say no thank you I do not want to proceed.

My final comment would be everyone needs to remember this is a business and they need to make money to survive against their own competitors.

Thank you for reading this.

Very professional pictures were superb 👌. My only gripe! Is that before I travelled to London I checked that if I didn't want to buy ,'My Portfolio ' Would they still find me work! Was told yes. This is not So.... you have to purchase a £600.00 Portfolio to get work!! So please all bear this in mind.

I had an amazing experience at the Studio. I was welcomed by the very friendly team and how the photo shoot was going to work was explained clearly. The design and make up team were fantastic and the photographer great to work with. I had 4 different outfit changes and 4 hair and make up changes. All very professional and the photos were fantastic.
Once I receive the photos ( within 7days)
I am hoping that Classic models can help me start my career in mature modelling and Tv work and my journey in this industry can truly begin.

Do not be taken in by this SCAM. They will promise you everything & deliver nothing. They will take your money and you will never hear from them again. No photos/portfolio or work.

I signed up a year ago. Platinum portfolio. Never had a job. My 'agent' contacted me to introduce herself and that was it. I have been in communication with the company to ask for money back because they didn't deliver on 1 year support. They claim they did. A year support is not 2 emails at the beginning in my books. Save yourself money. They are not even the agency that provides you with jobs, they are only a middle man that should put you in touch with agencies. No point paying money. I could have my £700 and earnings if I did it all by myself. I had more communication about why they can't give me back my money in the last few days than in the whole year.
