If you're comparing prices, be smart! - We know you have choices!

At image 1st® we encourage you to shop around and check out the other makeover photography studios. Sometimes a rushed decision can mean you get hooked into a deal you're not entirely happy with.

Start off by typing a few keywords into Google and look out for the reviews! Nothing more telling about a makeover photo studio than a genuine testimonial from a client that has already had the experience. Another good idea is to make a short list of photo shoot studios you like the look of, then type them into Google followed by the word 'reviews' you'll find the results could perhaps help you narrow your choices down.

exclusive
vs
impersonal

EXCLUSIVE

We work with only FIVE clients a day exclusively here image 1st®. Why? Well, we don't believe in conveyor belt photography sessions, we want to give you what you deserve at our luxury makeover photo studio in London and we simply can't provide the quality you want without giving you our absolute attention throughout your entire visit. Isn't that how it SHOULD be...?

IMPERSONAL

Most makeover photography studios in London herd you around their photo studios like sheep on a conveyor belt. Sure, they might offer you a glitzy pampering day in the marketing, however, the reality is when you arrive, you will be part of a large impersonal money making machine. Although initially the idea may sound great, the reality is far from glamorous. Baa!

honest pricing
vs
hidden costs

HONEST PRICING

We are proud of our HONEST PRICING policy. When you compare us with any other makeover photography studio you will find with image 1st® we hide nothing, the price you see is the price you get. The great thing about pre-paying for your photo shoot is that when you arrive you can simply enjoy being creative with us and not worrying about any hidden costs.

HIDDEN COSTS

The thing about hidden costs and clever marketing is that it is made to make you feel like you're getting a bargain. There is nothing for you to gain in paying for a photo shoot that costs from as little as £10. The fact is nobody can run a business in this way without having a tough sales team 'hard selling' you images at the end of your experience, this could set you back over £2,000!!!

pro makeover service included

diy

PRO MAKEOVER SERVICE INCLUDED

With image 1st® we insist you look amazing during your makeover photo shoot, that is why we include a hair and make-up artist to look after you throughout your photo shoot at NO EXTRA COST! The make-up we apply at the studio is slightly more intense to what you're normally used to; it has to be, as we want you to look flawless in front of our professional equipment.

D.I.Y

Some photography studios offer a 1 hour photo shoot with every photo saved on CD. Sounds great, however, what you don't get is a make-up artist. Why would you spend over £200 and not expect one? In the marketing you may be lead to thinking you do get one, but the reality is you'll be 'doing it yourself' and so expect 100+ images to not contain much variety. You deserve more!

professional printing & airbrushing
vs
mickey mouse printers

PROFESSIONAL PRINTING & AIRBRUSHING

Some clients may require our professional airbrushing team to enhance the photos afterwards. The airbrushing process can take a little longer to process, as does our professional printing service. We use industry standard printers and airbrushing, you may need to wait a little longer for delivery, but the results are fantastic!

MICKEY MOUSE PRINTERS

Check out the studios that offer a large amount of prints with their packages. Might seem like a great deal at first, but the reality is that those pictures are printed 'in-house' on 'Mickey Mouse' printers that we can all afford to pay for on Ebay. The colours are dodgy and the quality simply won't last a lifetime. We encourage that should you want to print your images, then go pro!

drop by for a look and a brew
vs
no entry unless you're hooked in

DROP BY FOR A LOOK AND A BREW

It is understandable that you may be a little sceptical when sourcing out the photo studio right for you. It is with great pleasure that Doren, the Managing Director here at image 1st® encourages anybody to call and book a tour with a meet and greet. Why pay for something you can't see? So what are you waiting for? Our number is 0207 250 1313. Tea's brewing!

NO ENTRY UNLESS YOU'RE HOOKED IN

Oh dear, looks like some of the pirate studios don't like to invite visitors in for a peek! Boo! Not surprising I guess, with so many hidden costs and cheapo set-ups it's not in their interest to spoil the surprise of what could end up being a very expensive day. Many will hook you into the makeover studios with cheap offers and FREE Bucks Fizz, is that really what you want?
