PLEASE AVOID! It's a trap! The whole service is below average. Photographers, make-up artists, the environment. They ask you to pay £3000-£1500 promising you that can build a portfolio and they... See more

My son Ramsey and I visited Hype Digital studio last week, and we were glad to have chosen them – they gave my son loads of useful professional advice, and watching the well-seasoned photographers shoot his pictures was a delight. I wish I had carried enough money with me to buy the pictures right away.

My only issue with Hype Digital was that the pictures seemed very pricey when I went there for my daughter Sansa's portfolio shoot. However, the quality and the astonishing range more than covered up for it, making it easier on my conscience to pay for the pictures.

Excellent work from Hype Digital

Excellent work from Hype Digital, My photographer was absolutely helpful on a pre-production, answered all my questions online, and totally helped us to get what we need on a production day. Great studio, well equipped with lights and grip. I can totally recommend, it is perfect for a small photo or video shot if you're not recording sound.

Writing reviews is a very daunting task…

Writing reviews is a very daunting task for me. I usually do not prefer writing reviews but this time I am forced to pen down to share my amazing experience about the number one studio i.e, Hype Digital in the UK. I really liked the fact that every single thing was so organized there. I went there for my professional photoshoot with my elder sister. We were greeted warmly by them. After waiting for around 15 minutes I was called for my makeup and styling. The makeup experts did a very excellent and creative job. After then I was called to a room full of lights, cameras. A perfect set with such high tech equipments, the photographer was very friendly and supportive. He helped to find many good poses. Then after some time they handed my pictures and guess what I was totally shocked and stunned to see such beautiful pictures of mine. Thankyou Hype Digital.

I feel much more confident to want to pursue my dream career as a model. I’m a little shy but when I went for the shoot with Hype Digital they made me feel like I can do it and I wasn’t judged or had little comments thrown at me. From this shoot, I know I can do it and even the staff kept complimenting me.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This ‘company’ will bribe you to attend a photo shoot and then pressure you into obtaining a portfolio that you do not need for modelling.

They will then refuse to refund your money.

Please avoid this company, I have heard many people in the same situation.

I took my son to have a shoot and was invited down by Commercial Models/Hype Digital. I bought his favorite outfits and he was posing the way the photographer told him to. I was surprised he listened to the photographer in fact as he is a little naughty boy but he took directions and was able to pull serious and smiley faces. His pictures were adorable and we can defo recommend this company.

Amazing studio with a highly professional staff

I could highly reccomend Birmingham Hipe-Digital Studio after having a great experience taking my 6 years old son for photo shooting there as a potential future model and actor. My son Leo Ritchie is only a beginner in the modeling and acting industry. My experience as a mother was great so was my son's. Everything was so well organised since the begginig. We had lots of orientation, help and support. The Studio was up to the highest standard, very modern with excellent facilities. The staff was absolutly friendly, approachable and helpful. My son was getting super quality make up and different hairstyles for the photo shootings. The photographer was so professional, just top of the class, very talented, highly professional gentleman. He made my son to feel so comfortable. So that Leo Ritchie was remaining very happy, so positive and enjoyed every single moment. The result was he did his best.
I loved every moment and really enjoyed my time seeing my son so happy. What a wonderful experience we had at the studio.
Next one was the assessment which we attended in a couple of hours. The gentleman doing the assessment about my son's modelling/acting skills who's name I can not remember was so competent, friendly and very professional. He had a conversation with my son in a form of interview and on the end we were informed that Leo Ritchie is a very talented little boy who did so well at the shooting. I was able to see some of my son's images. They were brilliant.
In a few months time we received Leo Ritchie's highly professional modeling CD with his images and a modeling portfolio. Also via e-mail we were informed that my son has his own modeling professional website and an email address. All this was just perfect with the best of my son's images. I was so impressed. The communication during the whole process was so good. I was receiving emails from the staff and able to talk to them on the phone. The price was slightly high but reasonable after all my experience. My son's images were brilliant. He was recommended from Hipe-digital to five modeling/talented agencies. I have signed him to two of them a couple of months ago. Now we are looking forward to work with them.
Big thank you High-digital studio Birmingham!
Yes I really highly recommend the Studio and could say to all mums your child will enjoy every moment during the photo shooting and will be safe. All of you will have a great time.

Beautiful pictures

Beautiful pictures, the team is friendly and knows exactly what they are talking about. They give lots of advice on how to get into the industry safely. I tried other companies and they could not move you forward, waste of time! Try Hype digital instead if you want that help or that push, you won't be disappointed! Great team in London

Dear Harpreet. The law around this states that if you book a session within 7 days you are not entitled to a refund if you cancel under the Distance Selling Regulations 2014. That is because UK Law does not deem it fair to the business as you have taken a time slot that cannot be resold or used again. We had paid for a photographer, make up artist, hairstylist, stylist, and consultant to be there for you. Thank you.
