“My shoot was about 3 weeks ago now. Everything seemed great on the day but I had held off from writing anything because I assumed it is probably a yes for everyone. The pictures were to a great standard so me and my partner decided to buy them, even just for ourselves. I sent them on to the places that the aftercare team told me to (a department I didn’t expect them to have, thought it’d just be a phone number with no answer at the other end) and I have actually seen some results! Declined from the first agency but now signed to two and have started going to castings.”
“I came to Date Style to get professional pictures to add to my CV and they really impressed me with the level of finished product and the way the day went. My photographer Alan was a really great guy to work with, extremely personable and took the time to get to know me and understand my personality for my CV. He even read it with me to really get an idea of what style fit the CV and pointers on how best to present it. Clearly a guy who has worked in photography across the industry and had great experience! (As well as some pretty terrible jokes!)”
“Before booking my shoot I had read a lot of posts with warnings about test shoots and to not buy a portfolio but having done more research about Date Style they sounded a lot more trustworthy than other companies. It turned out my research was well founded. They were really up front with me about the fact that I would be offered the chance to buy pictures if I was successful but it wasn’t compulsory and my report would still go back to the platform. I had many conversations on the phone with them before the shoot and shared with them my concern about portfolios and they were honest and said there are many models who do not need to buy a portfolio but is only High end stuff, which most, including myself, are not. I was successful in my test which I was really excited about and on seeing the pictures and quality of the shots I decided to take a small portfolio and has launched me into the world of modelling, I’ve signed to 4 different agencies! (as well as rejected from 3 Lol!)”
“An absolutely amazing team. The outcome for me in the end wasn’t so positive but I was reassured by everyone that I’d done a great job and it was just so fun being with everyone for the day anyway. The team are a credit to the company.”
“The advice I’ve received has been priceless. Everyone from the studio manager to the creative people were really friendly and happy to help me through my first time modelling! Brilliant staff and an amazing experience.”
“I was always told not to buy a portfolio from studios and that I can build one myself but have found myself paying photographers either full cash or crazy favours and have still got nowhere! Having been to Date Style and actually bought some industry useable images I am starting to see results! I wish I’d done this sooner!”
“This industry can definitely seem really daunting at first but any questions I’ve had I;ve spoken to Ahmed or Date Style and they have always been really happy to help and to put me at ease when I’m being my usual panicky self! I am confident in myself and my portfolio and that is down mainly to Date Style. Thank you so much guys.”
“A bit of a frustrating day. Went all the way to London just to be told that I didn’t do enough to go further in the industry. Had a fun day, just wish the result was different.”
“I would’ve given 5 stars bevause would have like to be there for longer! The shoot was supposed to take 4 hours and I was only there for 2. The shoot was so much fun and from my point of view, crazy professional. The makeup artists were using products that I’ve seen in only specialist shops and are £££. Heaven for me!”
