Tread with CAUTION! Not an agency & awful aftercare.

This company is good at producing marketable photos and attracting customers using the wow factor. Following the contract sign up and receiving payment everything goes downhill. Very poor aftercare and no response to emails or queries for months. DO NOT BE PRESSURED into signing their contract without going through the fine print in detail. They come across like being an agency that will find you work but they are not. They will simply give your details to other agencies to sign you up who will charge their own fees. Tread with caution.

Hi Imtiaz,

We are sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience. We have tried to contact you multiple times,

We would like to clarify that New Idol Models is not a modelling agency, and we do make this clear throughout our website, booking process, and documentation. We are a modelling support and portfolio development company that helps aspiring models build professional images and gain exposure to agencies and industry contacts.

We are pleased that you were happy with the quality of the photography, although we are disappointed to hear your comments regarding aftercare and communication. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take all feedback seriously as we are always looking to improve our client experience.

We also encourage all clients to carefully read through any agreements and documentation before making a purchase decision, and our team are always available to answer questions before any commitment is made.

We would genuinely welcome the opportunity to look into your concerns further and resolve this properly. Please contact our customer care team directly with your booking reference so we can investigate this for you.

We wish you all the best moving forward.

Best Wishes,
New Idol Model.

The modelling day was an incredibly…

The modelling day was an incredibly valuable and enjoyable experience. It gave me the opportunity to develop both my technical and collaborative skills in a realistic, fast-paced environment. I particularly enjoyed working as part of a team to tackle complex problems, share ideas, and present our findings clearly and confidently.
Throughout the day, I learned how modelling can be applied to real-world situations and how important creativity, communication, and logical thinking are in the problem-solving process. The activities were engaging and challenging in a way that encouraged critical thinking and teamwork.
I also appreciated the supportive atmosphere created by the organisers and mentors, who were always willing to guide us and answer questions. Overall, the experience strengthened my interest in mathematics and showed me how modelling can be used across a wide range of industries and applications.
I would highly recommend the modelling day to anyone interested.

Kirstin and Katie were exceptional

Kirstin made me feel so comfortable during the whole process from start to finish, she explained everything from start to finish.
And Katie was clear and concise with what was going to happen next, and was very helpful when it came to putting the portfolio together
