This is a complete scam. Breach their contracts, give poor quality photographs and service.
Apple Models arrange for your shoot at Metro Photography who then, in turn, after your shoot, promise you the earth, take your money and run. You do not hear from them again unless you get in contact with them. Apple Models just disappear overnight. This is total fraud and scamming and they should not be allowed to do this to people, especially parents who believe all their rubbish in order to help their child/children get into modelling. They have no regard for the poor child/children who come away heartbroken and very upset.
Photo shoot
I have previously written comments on here regarding Apple and Metro Photography.
If you have had a bad experience as I have with them selling a portfolio then please contact TRADING STANDARDS.
I have received legal advise regarding my personal case but I have been told the only way anything can be done about these companies is if people contact trading standards and report them, I may not even get a call back from trading standards if they don't feel my case is worthy.
All it takes is a phone call to report them, numbers below:-
Telephone: [protected]
Textphone: [protected]
Telephone a Welsh-speaking adviser: [protected]

Scam from Apple models and metro
I applied with Apple models last December 2015, a lady called Lura from Apple model contacted me and she was very friendly and asked me to go to a test shoot for modelling with metro photography . I went to London and have my test on 8th January .. When I finished the test, a man from Metro photography said that I was very good and I have 80 photos, all of them are very very good to use as a model . They asked me to pay for the photo package and webfolio I paid £1450 for the package, and he said Lura will call me to advice me where I should apply and how I can progress in my career as a model . And I will get £600 per day . More than 20 day I did not receive any photos or any z cards and no call from Lura.. I keep calling them and no one answer the phone .. Once a man answer the Apple model phone and when I asked for Lura he pretended he couldn't hear me .( I am sure her Name was not Lura and they use different name with each victim ) .. I am very depressed and I am thinking about suicide ..
May be when I am died someone will take action against them and stop them from tricking people like me who they have dreams and they destroyed it ..
I just wonder why all these people complain against them and no one stop them .
I to was scammed by this company, I didn't get my money back and my daughter has not had any work. I found them very pushy and didn't want me to wait for my husband to come back from parking the car before I made a decision. It now seems that someone else has been scammed and is on judge ringer, although the company has not been mentioned it's definitely them.
Just to let you know I had a similar experience a few weeks back with my son. We went for the shoot and we fell for it paying £850 for photos and a portfolio. I contacted trading standards and they agreed it was dodgy I then emailed metro and told them why I think they are fleecing people and how disgusting it is. I said I wanted my money back as they were in breach since we'd still not received the printed portfolio (no surprise there) and if not I'd pursue them with trading standards and also use some of my media contacts to out them. It worked and I got an email back saying they would refund me my money which I didn't believe until I checked with the bank and they had paid the full amount back! Don't give up as it's possible to get your money back!
Hi, I was almost tricked by the same company, Metro Photography! alright, they sound amazing! Though when you do part with the cash and handing a large amount over to them? Alarm Bells start to ring in your head? I was told by Apple Models to attend a Test Shoot with Metro Photography last year, I was told by Apple Models to pay a fee of £50! This was to secure my Appointment? I was also told by them, that I will receive my fee after attending my Test Shoot? I did not receive my refund of £50?
When I was at Metro Photography, they had introduced the team to me. including the photographer, after I had done the shoot with the photographer, I spoke to a guy called Jack? He discussed all packages to me, said that I had passed the Test, and would need to hand over £1, 450 for my Photo's and Web Folio? I was shocked to find out how much I was charged? I said to Jack, I would think about it, he said to me, what is to think about? I said, I have not got that kind of Money on me? He said " Can you borrow a credit or debit card from a family member or friend? I said, no? " I said to him, I could ask my Mum? He said, great! I had thought about it, and said no? I have changed my mind? Recently, I received a email from them, saying that they will be in touch with their Solicitor, I'm still waiting ?

Modelling career promises / bu******
I want to stay anon, but I don't see why these people should make cash out of inexperienced individuals like myself. Keeping it short and sweet I've basically lost about £200 . I don't work and this is like 3 weeks food shopping and bills money . I was told as a plus size model I had a really good look and that my picture stood out to the guy who was going through the new applicants pictures. I felt special and attractive and that's exactly what they want . 😡😡😡😡🔴🔕👜💋🕶👢👡💄👗👛👝😡🤔
Reviewer13781-Apple and Metro have a wonderful and convincing way of making you believe what they say is real and that you will be a model! I think a lot of people who have had this experience are really very angry I know I am and I will be doing what I can to prevent them from doing this to people. Please message me if you would like to do more. Good luck in your pursuit to be a model xx

Orange aka Apple models and Metrophotography same business. I talked to Andrea from Orange models, and then the saleswoman in the studio called herself Sarah even though I heard other people calling her Andrea and when she was out of office smone looked in and said Andrea is not here. Lol they are not that professional. Many things during the shoot make you think that something is wrong but the thought that you are special and chosen to be a model and nothing bad can happen is very overwhelming
