LBD Avis 

My experience with LBD has been disappointing.
If I could give this company a rating, it'll be "zero" stars.
In March 2025, I signed up with this company through James its founder who talked a good talk. I have spoken to him 3 times and have not heard further from him since last year. I have tried to contact them since 2025 but to no avail. They don't answer emails or calls. It feels like they are looking for numbers to sign up under the 'guise' of life membership which comes to a fee( i asked for my receipt and was told by James he'd send it to me once he goes to his office but was never sent. I spent time sending this company content as advised by James to keep my profile on their site up to date for casting/model clients.
I wonder if this company is a scam as all my forms of communication to touch base seems to have landed on 'mute' response. I would not advise anyone i know to sign up with LBD

Fraud praying on people mostly ones with hardly any money

Absolutely useless- don’t waste your money or your time here. They take your money and send you an e booklet of tips and they ask you for photos but they only want professional ones and as I stated in a phone call that I am new to modelling and extra work I don’t have professional photos apart from my portfolio. Then after not hearing from them for a while I contacted them only to be told I need to pay more money otherwise they will take me off their books, even though they hardly contacted me. I don’t understand what kind of service this is. Absolutely useless and a waste of money.

Not for those who are new.

It’s been a year since I signed up and have no jobs. When asked for the list of jobs they have put me forward to, I stopped getting any responses. James was good and friendly but ultimately it’s about work, Pete never responds back. So I wouldn’t recommend LBD. You loose money!

Terrible awful agency. Signed me up over a year ago without meeting me. I sent portfolio to him. Told me I would have loads of work. Never got one job or even an offer of one. Phoned him a few times he was very rude and told me he would take me off his books but would not send my money back

Terrible company don’t go there I’m telling you

Bad experience. Wasted £180 almost a year ago and never got it back, on a refund nor even in a single job. Never been informed if submitted to a job ever, just chatting over the phone about staff personal issues or how my self-tape ‘had to be corrected’. Asked 3 times through email what job I’ve been submitted and they’re not even replying. They posted under their name a video of an ad I did with a different agency and I had to ask to remove it, for respect. Did anybody ever get any job??? “Being kind” does not replace “getting jobs” which is why someone signs up. Definitely taking it off my list of agencies.

What can I say, it was my first professional photo shoot and I was a bit nervous at first but my bold confidence took over and it turned out out to be great, Paulo Garcia was also awesome and even if I don’t get any jobs the experience was worth more than I can ask for, big thank you Thomas Street Studios Limited

Very effective and quick agency and they're always brilliant to work with. Truly grateful that I was able to sign up with them. Big shout out to James and the team for getting me underway on my modelling career and helping me set it up.

I was contacted today through my new modelling instagram account from @booking_fashionistamodels regarding a paid international job for Ralph Lauren. Being new to the industry, I wanted to ensure I was protecting myself from being scammed. I called my agency and spoke to James Scott who kindly looked into this for me and confirmed it was in fact a scam.
I cannot thank James enough for his kind and very friendly guidance. Please all be aware of any requests you get from this instagram page. We’re all here to look out for each other. 😊 James, it was an absolute pleasure talking to you.

Despite the name, there’s nothing little about the hearts at this agency. They genuinely care about their talent and are dedicated to helping each person shine. James has been amazing from the offset and I feel like I’ve known him forever. Whether you’re destined to be the next big thing or just looking for a chance to showcase your quirky charm, they make you feel like you belong.
Nothing is too much trouble and messages and emails are responded to in a flash.
I can’t recommend them enough!

I came into this industry with lack of knowledge and uncertainty. My first telephone conversation put all my worries and concerns to rest. James was friendly, positive and honest. I have found that communication is easy and responsive and I don’t feel silly asking any questions. With the agencies confident and enthusiastic support I feel inspired to move forward in this industry.

Little Big Door is the most fantastic, proactive agency !
James especially has been such a wonderful guide and mentor. His advice is always SPOT ON ! I love learning from him and growing within the industry. As well as within myself.
I’ve not looked back.
I can’t recommend Little Bog Door enormously or enthusiastically enough !!

I am new to this industry, and was feeling lost within it. I was able to have a direct call from the head of the agency, who has guided me through the process of getting myself started. I am now feeling so much more confident on starting my modelling journey. And I wish to say compared to other agencies they have gone over broad to make me feel special and important to them as a model.
I would definitely recommended them to anyone at any stage in their modelling career.

I am an ABSOLUTE beginner, in this industry, at 43 years old, I didn't think I'd have a chance.

I did my photoshoot with TS STUDIOS in Manchester.

I registered with Little Big Door, around the beginning of December 2023, my profile went live 15/12/23.

I CANNOT praise enough the help and support I received.

Many agencies will contact you to sign up with them after photoshoot, they will give you sales chat disguised as work opportunities making promises and get you to make payment and sign up with them.

LITTLE BIG DOOR, is NOTHING like that.

The first point of contact with LBD, was an absolute gem of a member of staff, by the name of Michelle. She has brilliant. I had my concerns, and doubts about joining agencies. Michelle, has been so supportive, considerate and helpful. She actually, gave me her time, and listened to me. As she explained, the industry, LBD, and experience as a whole, I felt comfortable in mind, and during the very first conversation, I had already made my mind about joining LBD. I cannot praise her enough.

Just recently this week, I managed to speak to James (Owner/Operator) of LBD. Amazing guy,
I explained my problem with Emails. And he has also been very supportive.

I have also listed with Tamim via email.

I have submitted my Self -Tape and looking forward to growing with LBD, and I welcome new opportunities in 2024 and beyond.

I strongly recommend LITTLE BIG DOOR, get your feet through their door, anc I'm confident, MANY more doors of opportunities will open. GOOD LUCK to you all. Peace and Blessings be upon you 🙏

Little Big Door have been amazing, they are constantly in contact with me and whenever I call James will always answer and if not he would call me back. I can not fault the communication, whenever I have a question even about other agencies James has always been there and given me honest advise which I appreciate. The industry is very difficult to break into but I am new to this (1 month) and waiting for my first shot. But I am more than confident that LBD will be there to support me and stand by me to bring out my best.

Highly recommend anyone to join this agency. As of yet I haven’t received work as I’ve only recently joined and started out with modelling but have been made to feel comfortable from the start by James. He always gives good advice and guides you in the best way he can.

I recently joined Little Big Door and was having a bit of a wobble, but after speaking to James, who was extremely helpful and reassuring, I feel that I know more what I need to do with his help and advice. I didn’t feel rushed or a nuisance and the advice he gave was invaluable, I have no regrets in joining this agency.

Little Big Door are my first agency since i was in my final days of my Degree, James and Peter are always putting me forward for opportunities and are always there to help me improve my profile and chances of being seen, as well as this they are always there for even a chat if i feel unsure, especially after the last few rough years for everyone the team at LBD have never given up, its a proper family and one i'm so glad i was given the opportunity to become a part of! Thank you to the whole Team x
