Luxe models scam ?

Luxe Models is not a model agency at all - it is a name used by Kube Studios Limited to sell expensive model portfolio shoots. The price of model portfolio shoots at London studios can be up to £2750 despite the initial details claiming the shoot is free.

Luxe Models sells model portfolio shoots at their own studio Kube Studios and offering training to wannabe models. The Luxe Models website makes clear that they are not a modelling agency and do not find models work yet their Google ad claims "Model agency scouting now" - if you think you are applying to a modelling agency then you are being scammed. The person registering Luxe Models was previous behind Diesel Models and UK Models which were repeatedly claimed to be scams by people who had been to their studios and subject to hard sell.

Remember that you do not need to pay for a model portfolio to apply to a genuine modelling agency - just send clear snapshots and they will be able to make a decision.

Luxe Models are not an agency so they cannot be scouting models, registration on the site may be free but you will then get sold a service for either coaching or a portfolio. Experience is irrelevant as they are not a modelling agency so have no requirement for models with or without experience.

If you are considering attending a shoot at Luxe Models you should be aware of their Terms and Conditions and the cost if you do not attend and the cost of the portfolio shoot if you go along with their hard sell tactics.

What is Luxe Models? Review of Luxe Models Agency


Luxe Models is a company that coaches potential models and offer portfolio shoots to people who want to be a model. You can have a fun time pretending to be a model for the day but they are not an agency and can make no decision on whether or not you can be a model. Paying for a modelling portfolio will not guarantee you acceptance by a model agency.

Watch out for scam adverts for Luxe Models that suggest they are looking for models - Luxe Models is a model advisory and an experience day service and do not take models on so they cannot be scouting for models as their ad on Google claims.

  1. I absolutely agree!
    They have ridiculous prices for useless portfolios and photos...
    I went to the studio with a friend...and after seeing sooooo many people waiting for their shoot, I knew they was something fish going on....coz these people did not look like models...to be honest they looked like theyve been picked up from the streets from size 16 girls to 6 year old kids..

    they really know how to sweet talk and convince you into thinking you can actually become a model and buying their photos of yourself...hmmm
