Luxe Models - Kube Studios Review

Luxe Models is not a modelling agency but the name used by Kube studios to sell model portfolios shoots in London and Manchester. The cost of photos at the Luxe Models shoot can be up to £2500 depending on the packages chosen.

So if you are one of those 'lucky' once to get a photoshoot you will end up paying lots of money for the portfolio. You don't need a portfolio to do modelling.

Is luxe models is a scam ?

Luxe models is getting lot of bad press lately due to the whole scam getting exposed online. We decided to do some digging into the company website to see if we can find anything.

1. First we went into the company services page and found there are 3 different service packages offered by them; Free track, Organic track & Fast track along with Trademark (TM) signs. So we checked with UK IPO site to see if any of these services are actually trade marked. We couldn't find any results so it means those are fake. (You can try: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm/t-find/t-find-text/) We also think the TM is added to these titles to give it a legitimacy. The bottom line is they will sell you a very expensive portfolio you DON'T NEED. Remember NO AGENCY needs a PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO.

2. We went into Testimonials page to see if any of the testimonials are actually true. We pulled one of the images from the page and uploaded to Google and bang we had a match. The pictures were purchased from a stock website.

Here is a screenshot of the original testimonial;

So given the image is fake we can pretty much conclude the testimonial is fake as well (?) We also think its the same case with other testimonials/photos.


3. We looked at their Google adverts and they all suggest that 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 below on Google claims.

So the bottom line is luxemodels is setup to prey on innocent models into spending thousands of pounds for a useless portfolio.

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.
