Cosmopolitan Studios

I have been there twice with my boyfriend. First time when I was a student 6 years ago and second time around a year ago. Yes, I agree they are a little on the pricey side, but worth it as they are great at what they do. I see it this way, you pay for what you get and if they been around for over 10 years, they must be doing something right.

I also won a photo shoot with them, its not a competition as such. I had my hair and makeup done (looked amazing) Me and my boyfriend both had photos taken. However very very very expensive!! $650 for 4 photos on a CD not even prints! I bought some because I loved them. They are pushy about you buying them.

What everyones been saying about them being in it to make money off the photos is totally right. By the time they do the hair, makeup and photos they sort of have you cornered to pay something forward unless your really stubborn and take someone to back you up.

My friend won one as that was claiming it was a sort of modelling thing, she ended up spending like nearly $150 on photos by the end of it because they pressured her into buying them, so you just have to be really clear if you aren’t wanting to spend anything because they act really nice but pushy about it lol.

I think I’d be a bit sceptical, especially if you don’t even remember entering a competition for it. These days most comps send emails to the winners.

Just be careful – these studios tend to be experts in high pressure selling – they will often try and get you to buy or put a deposit there on the spot.

The staff are often working on commission, so they need to sell packages to make their money. The pictures do tend to be expensive.

That said, go, and have fun, but just be on your guard when it comes to them putting the hard sell on you, and only committ to what you are comfortable with, want, and can afford.

I didn’t really know where to post this, so I hope here is alright.
So, I got a phonecall today saying that I won a free makeover and photoshoot at cosmopolitan studios, which would be pretty amazing, only I don’t remember ever entering into a competition.
Has anyone ever heard of or been to this place? It is located in Ashfield.

A photoshoot sounds really fun, and they did say no obligation to buy, but I don’t want to be scammed. Any help or feedback would be nice.

Hey just wondering if you ended up going and also if you give me details on prices as I also ‘won’ a photoshoot but they are really ambigous about prices and that. I am looking to have them all on cd.
Thanks

I also won one i go there tomorrow how much did it end up costing?

I haven’t heard of this place but usually they offer you a free makeover and photo shoot then they try to sell you the pics which can be rather pricey. I got caught in it once, bought one or two pics that was it. Way to expensive for me but great if you wanted some portraits done. Best of luck with it all 🙂

haha thanks guys! I think I might do it, and take a friend for ’emotional support’.

one year my sister and I got a glamour shot package done with glamour photography in west end. Anyway I was 16 my sister 18- anyway they made us look a lot older! curled my hair packed on the make-up. You really didnt get a lot of say at all! Mine ended up looking so funny but my sister had one nice shot! Thye didnt pressure us to buy-maybie cos we were so young! I say do it-but take a friend and have LOW expectations! haha
