And mods, I feel this is better in GD, I want to make more people aware :p

As some of you know, me and Mr Betty recently did the "Venture Experience" for a valentines present, yes that was a while ago, and thats just one of our gripes... for those of you that dont know what I am talking about...

Venture

All I am really trying to say to anyone thinking about doing this, well dont. Just dont. The prices they charge are absolutly astronomical (nearly £900 for a 15 shot album) We managed to escape reasonably unscathed, altogether we spent about £150, and came away with two nice shots, although it still wasn’t exactly what we had asked for.

I had a gorge turquoise necklace on that I wanted them to capture the colour of, and to my dismay, it wasn’t done. It seems they were more interested in getting their hands on our cash, rather than listening to what we really wanted.

They said it would take 5 weeks for our portraits, it ended up taking over 8, with no telephone calls or letters to keep us informed.

I want to post one of the pics, but I darent for fear of the Copyright Monster :p Bottom line is, we found out the hard way that Venture are total rip off merchants, dont anyone else fall for their charms ;):D

Why not just join a net model site and post you want pics to start a portfolio...

Tbh, I had wanted to look into that, but had no idea where to start, some links would be great, email in trust, if thats ok of course :)
 
Dont get me wrong, we are happy(ish) with the photos, but I want to make people more aware of how expensive their photos are, I dont want anyone to fork out their hard earned dollar on something you can get for a fraction of the price :)
