From beginning to end it was a great experience at Soho Fashion Studios arranged by Online Models. Ava who I first spoke with gave me all the low-down of what to expect and from the moment Kasia greeted me I knew I was going to be looked after. She chose my 4 outfits from the suitcase of clothes I brought along and was very happy with the ones she picked out. Everything was very professional from the outset. I was into make-up with Maria really quickly. She really knows what looks good on camera. My photographer Ana made me feel really comfortable and we did shots inside and on location and got lots of great photos. I got a full report on how I worked with the team and assessment of where I could fit in the industry. I am over the moon the team are so confident that I am marketable and feel strongly that I will get castings. Here's to a new career!

Well online models where great and so kind and friendly. They made me feel so at ease and helped me through every step. They took care of me and made me feel so welcome 😁 I had never done anything like modelling before in my life but they told me I was a natural and i had talent which made me very happy. The atmosphere was brilliant and I couldn't of had a better day. I definitely recommend online models as a company and feel that they are an amazing team. Thank you so so much for my experience.

I have just had an telephone interview with this agency and apparently passed with flying colours. All was going well until they asked me for a £50 deposit. I was not born yesterday and knew that any money needed could be deducted from my earnings as is the portfolio cost. I also have a booking with another agency on Monday and they have not asked for anything. There is no need to pay any money up front.

Everyone was really friendly and attentive. Eva was super nice on the phone and explained the process and what type of modelling options a mature model would be realistically most suitable for and what would be expected if taken on full time or if you choose to be part time. It was very encouraging as was the final assessment meeting after the shoot.. Be mindful that in order to proceed if your shoot is successful you will need to purchase a photo for your portfolio or any of the packages offered which range from a portfolio of 15 pictures to one that incorporates a website with contact field etc.. which is very useful if you do not have one already.

I am writing to express my disappointment with your agency and agent ‘Ava’ from models network. I contacted the mature model agency through Facebook on Thursday 6th as it looked interesting. I was contacted by Ava who explained that I was ‘just what they are looking for’. We spoke happily in length about the session. It was after we spoke that she said she would send me the link to register and it would cost £50 which is refundable when you arrive at the studio. I said to her that I cannot afford the price and told her I will contact her on Monday the 10th. On Thursday evening I looked at the website and read the small print. It explained that you had to be thorough with HMRC. As I’m on benefits this wouldn’t possible. Friday morning 7th I get a call from Ava explaining that she needs me to fill in the form. I reminded her about calling me on Monday and explained that I cannot participate as I am on benefits and would have to declare my earnings so the project would not benefit me. She persisted in saying she has paperwork for all of this and things could be sorted!? I was a bit confused as it didn’t sound professional but more desperate.. Again I felt pressured as she was asking me to borrow money from my son. She then told me that she would be at the studio on Monday at 8:45 to personally meet me give me back my refund and then take me to lunch! I finally agreed to sending the money and said I looked forward to meeting her. Today I show up at the studio at 8.30. By 9 am Ava had not arrived, which I found very unprofessional. I asked Casha the studio manager if Ava would be here, she said she’s never met Ava and the agents don’t really come to the studio. I decided to phone her and got no response so left a message. I then emailed her and she replied that she was at the hospital with her granny and it was an emergency! Which I found pathetic…I called her and said I will be leaving as I am not a child and will not be treated like this considering my age 60 and having to lug a massive suitcase around with me. She told me I cannot get my refund back as I didn’t take any photos. I was totally shocked but expected to hear this desperate reply. I told her I am going to report this. I spoke to Casha and told her everything saying I’m not satisfied at all. She agreed with me and said I should be refunded within 3-5 days. I am expecting this to be in my account then, as I haven’t got money to throw away and am struggling as it is. Casha gave me the email address to write about my disheartening experience with your recruitment tactics to generate money. I look forward to my refund and response. I will be writing a review on the model’s website warning people of this deceitful way of your staff.

The experience was amazing and the whole process. Surrounded by professional make-up artist and photographer! Both made me feel comfortable and special. It was a nice treat and very productive. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!

The online models team Liza, Amy and Oliver have been incredible throughout this whole process from start to finish. I’m not going to deny that I was a little apprehensive at the beginning however I can honestly say that I am not disappointed in my decision to take the leap and go ahead with the test shoot as the doors it has opened for me is amazing, thank you so much for your support and investment in me my future and the journey ahead!!

The Online Models team guided me through the process and made it simple and easy to attend the studio. It was really exciting going to the shoot for the first time at Soho Studios. The team were really helpful and made me feel relaxed throughout the process. As a result I felt confident and did my best at achieving some stunning photos. I'm definitely looking forward to getting booked on some jobs soon.

I am super excited and looking forward to the shoot. It would be helpful to know the address where i am likely to come to . I will be arriving from Birmingham with public transport and would like to know if i will make it to the agency.

The whole experience was tremendous fun. I was received by lovely, organised professionals. I had a good day, and who would have thought the outcome would turn out as it has. You only live once so enjoy the ride.
