My name's Alicia, I'm French and I'm new on this forum. Indeed, I wanted to share an experience of mine. I've been to London this weekend, and I've had a photo shoot in a casting agency, The Casting Suite, which is in Piccadilly Circus.
Here's how it works. You get about a 20 min photo shoot with a professional photographer, and then they put all the pictures on a CD which is then sent to your home. You can pick the 10 pictures you think are best, and they'll have them printed and put in a portfolio. You can also get a show reel, basically they record you for like 3 min and you can talk about whatever you want (your hobbies...). This show reel is then put on a DVD they send you with the CD of pictures as well as the portfolio. The whole thing costs £160.
You can have a look on the website www.thecastingsuite.co.uk or call them on +44(0)20 7534 5757
It's a really nice experience, especially for people who like fashion and photography! I'll put the pictures on line asap so as you can have an idea about the kind of pictures you can get. And you can come with your friends for the same price as well if you want it to be less expensive! But honestly, it'd make a really nice Xmas gift! So if you dunno what to get for your friends for Xmas, call The Casting Suite! And it's really nice for families as well who want to get pictures with their children...
Speak to you soon!
Alicia
