PLEASE AVOID THIS STUDIO! ZERO STAR!

I visited this studio to have a photo taken. The woman working there, who appeared to be managing everything on her own, was on the phone non-stop while attending to customers. Although she took the photo very quickly, it was later rejected by the visa portal due to a lack of clarity.

When I checked the photo after the rejection, I noticed it was out of focus. I went back to her to point this out, but she was insistent and unconfidently claimed there was nothing wrong with the picture. Unfortunately, the photo was indeed poorly taken. Again, she was on the phone and not paying attention. While she wasn't rude, she wasn't really listening either.

If she is the owner of the studio, she risks losing a lot of customers due to her inattentive behaviour and lack of professionalism. I’ve now seen several reviews highlighting similar complaints. If, however, she is an employee, I strongly suggest the owner speaks with her about these issues. It’s essential to address this behaviour, especially given the repeated complaints.

More importantly, if you are the owner, I recommend ensuring that staff refrain from being on the phone constantly, especially while dealing with customers in the shop. The female worker needs to understand the consequences of her actions. For instance, because of her inattentiveness, I had to reapply for my visa and ended up paying double the amount. This situation could easily have been avoided with better focus and professionalism.

距离中国领事馆最近的照相馆！今日我去办中国的证件，发现之前打印的照片不符合尺寸，立刻来到这家最近的照相馆重新拍了照片，告诉工作人员是中国护照的照片，他们处理得不错。唯一不足的是照相馆太多客人了，必须等待了一会儿。

Never ever use this place to develop disposable camera photos as they told me it would take a week (which is a long time anyway) so I turned up a week later and the pictures were not ready. They told me they would be ready 5 days later so I turned up 5 days later and they weren’t ready. So I gave them my number to call me when they were ready and I didn’t get a call for 2 weeks so I called them asking where they were and they told me the the camera didn’t have any photos in it. Obviously the camera did have photos so I don’t know what happened there. I got a refund but I lost the camera and the memories and the petrol and time I spent going back and forth to the shop.

The lady on the counter is too rude, she yelled at me twice while i was asking for some gadgets,
She’s rude, egoistic and not a customer dealer at all. Now a days people opens shop don’t know how to run it and respect customers.
I felt so disrespected and told her you don’t know how to deal a customer, she said she’s owner so she’s don’t need to behave well.
Absolutely disgrace to whole Rusholme town this lady

The best place in the UK. The staff are extremely kind, professional and helpful. I can't recommend it enough. I had to take photos for the embassy and they were so considerate and polite. The lady as well as both gentlemen are class acts. Much appreciation

If google were allowed me to put zero star that would be def zero,
Ive took my little one to take a passport photo,
They took the photo and they give me the code and the photo which is I’ve tried both of them online so the application was rejected because the picture was too close and I went back to the shop. Explained the situation and they said it’s not our responsibility when we give you a code it should work and I said well it doesn’t work. What can I do who am I blaming and they said no, you are lying, I said why would I lie bring a little baby to your shop asking for another picture he said maybe your wife doesn’t like the picture and then when I showed them the proof then they took another photo, which is they tried it still didn’t work so that tells me they clearly they have no clue what they doing so please avoid them at all cost and in the end they didn’t even offer a refound as well which is it’s not big money it just a £10 but it just nice to take a responsibility please avoid them at all
