Orchid Studios

A pain in the ass is what this place is.
I got a phone call a couple of years back i was in my first year of college so i was 17, i was actually in college and a lady said i had been nominated by someone and i have been choosen to have a FREE photoshoot done this included hair and makeup. I was told because i was under 18 at the time an adult would have to comfirm. After beging my parents to let me go and pay the £100 just so that we would turn up on the day and also being told i would get a free print and a goody bag we went on our way. This was back in 2011… Parking was a pain to find and so was the place, i had to wait two hours to start getting my hair and makeup done, the makeup guy was quite friendly but the makeup itself i could of done myself wasnt very high end brands either. My hair was straight when i went in and all the lady did was straighten it again by then it was flat no bounce no products used nothing. I went to get my photo shoot done in the basement with a woman who was. kinda friendly. The set ups were nice i’ll give you that. When i finally got around to looking at the photos i got extremely pressured to buying the prints, the photographs were herendous! I’m a photography student and i could of done better than the woman when i was in high school! I didnt get a goodybag nor the free print. I decliend after being pressured, when we were about to leave i asked for my deposit back which they didnt like and was told that if i didnt write down 10 people’s phone numbers i wouldnt get my deposit back. it was awful. My brother who was with me was annoyed and so was i, we left worse experience EVER.
