My experience with New Look Talent and their studio, TS Studios Manchester, in November felt like a high-pressure sales operation disguised as a modelling opportunity.Aggressive Pressure: Coordinator Lewis Green from New Look Talent called and texted relentlessly to book the £50 portfolio shoot, promising immediate work afterwards. After completing the photo-shooting, I emailed Lewis asking about the promising job opportunities he had guaranteed, but he never replied to my email. This complete lack of follow-up confirms the shoot was the ultimate goal, not genuine representation. This was a manipulative lure. Poor Quality: The £50 booking included sub-par hair and makeup and a generic 3-4 hour session. After the shoot, the Photo Editor, Kim, isolated me in a room and aggressively pressured me to buy 10 photos for an inflated price of £400 (£50 booking + £350 for 10 poor photos).Manipulation: Despite voicing my strong dissatisfaction with the images, she insisted they were good. Feeling tired and anxious, I was manipulated into agreeing to the exorbitant price.This agency prioritises ripping off money (£400 total paid) for a poor portfolio under duress, with no guarantee of any modelling work afterward.Do not waste your time or money. Seek legitimate agencies that do not require such costly, high-pressure portfolio purchases.
