10/10
Honestly,
best experience with photographers we had so far! Everyone in the team was super nice & the vibes were great! 10/10 recommend! My partner, the model, was hesitant and nervous before - but Alfonso, Maddy & Michael were very welcoming and warm. They explained everything to him in detail and he ended up leaving with a big smilec a great new experience and a prediction for a future.
Thank you all!

Disappointing , already paid money
!!I spoke with them several times , didn't find any understanding ..! Let me add more information because they are not happy with real review; I already paid them 800 £ for few photos ( not more than 10 - 15) & gave me only 2 according with some. explanation. Several times I asked them on calls to accept this 800£ and dropped the rest( they just talked about eportfolio and other stuff - they never provide it anything apart of these 2 photos ,- I am not a specialist in it) .. They refused totally and kept on referring my details to different types of debt collection adding more money...So for anyone who is making same mistake as mine to go for photos in a studio ,be aware!And as a matter of fact, I am a genuine person ( other people passed through same issue) .I wouldn't post anything it if they accept the already 800 paid

Hi, Suzana
Thank you for your feedback. With a model portfolio being one of the hardest barriers of entry in the modelling world, we were accommodating in accepting a part payment and discussing options to help. To provide best-in-class services, including professional print, e-portfolios, and industry-standard tools, some work is outsourced to high-end editors and specialists. When payments aren’t completed, it impacts the studio significantly each year. That’s why we take action within our legal rights to ensure all agreements are honoured.
We remain open to resolving any issues directly, but abusive language or behaviour towards our staff will never be tolerated. Professional communication is essential as we work towards a fair outcome.
Kind regards,
TS Studios Team
I had a very disappointing experience…
I had a very disappointing experience with the studio. They charged me £2500 with services. They gave me hope that I could be signed with other modelling companies and get find a good job as I looks like excellent but they deceived me to charged me a lot.
It has been one and half year ago. I couldn’t find any modelling job. I don’t recommend TS studio in London.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed. As a studio, we provide professional guidance, training, and support, but we do not guarantee work or placements, as outcomes in the modelling industry can vary widely. Success depends on persistence, professionalism, and integrity, and not every individual will achieve immediate results.
Since it has been over a year, we encourage everyone to review and update their portfolio if they feel progress has stalled. Our team always aims to provide guidance and support, and we hope you continue to pursue your goals with confidence and determination.
We encourage you to get in touch directly if you wish to discuss your experience further. Please note that abusive language or behaviour towards our staff and team members will never be tolerated.
Wishing you all the best moving forward,

Great studio
You get a warm welcome at the front desk, then after your forms are filled your makeup artist just touches up on you and they were also very lovely. The camera man was amazing and professional and made me feel very comfortable even though I am shy of posing. In all everyone around was just very positive

First model shoot and I was very nervous
I was very nervous prior to going to the shoot, way out of my comfort zone but I really wanted to do it, without exception, all the team were amazing from Catherine to Kim, first and last people I saw, both were so lovely, professional and put me at my ease immediately. The photographer, Natasha, what can I say, fantastic, we bounced off each other and she was brilliant at what she does, makeup/hair by Carmen and Isla, again, fantastic and so lovely and warm. I enjoyed the experience so much, it was great fun and I was my authentic self all the way through, lots of laughter as well as working hard!!!
At the end I saw Kim, she was so lovely and gave me brilliant advice, very easy to get on with, she understands the industry so well and has been a model herself, I appreciated the straight and direct talking and she was very honest in her appraisal of me and the photos, looking forward to seeing where this goes, thanks guys, hope to meet you all again very soon
