How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
Worse Than KMart photography! I HAD to take my son to Cameo studios for his senior graduation pictures as per his high school yearbook requirement. I bought the suit, chose the 2nd clothing option, got the haircut and cleaned up my teenager. I made the appointment for the photo shoot well in advance and discussed with the studio receptionist what I wanted to achieve with his pictures. We arrived to a very busy & bustling studio FULL of people and teenagers coming and going. I was a little concerned that it was going to be an assembly line situation and Boy, was I right! My son and I sat down on some chairs and after several minutes a very young girl came out and called his name. I assumed she was an assistant as she whisked my son away and into a studio room. At that time, I sat down, reached into my purse to fool around with my cell phone, when suddenly my son was standing in front of me and asked, "Are you ready?" "Ready for what??" I say. "Ready to go. Im done!" There is NO WAY that someone does a senior portrait photo shoot in 30 seconds! I find the 'young girl" and ask her how many pictures were taken of my son and she tells me that she took 8. So, she wasnt the assistant but the hired help photographer! I start to argue about the quality and time involved in good portrait photography but I can see that I am dealing with a kid that was hired to just press the button on the camera assembly line fashion. She assures me that the shots will turn out great and will be ready to preview in a few minutes. SO, after waiting several minutes to view the proofs. I get more and more worried, because I see several teens having their own dressing rooms, doing full length professional shoots....and I wonder, "Why didnt I get that when I specifically requested it? And what the heck is a Scottsdale/Paradise Valley high school doing requiring such UNprofessionals for their mandatory yearbook portraits?? So, we finally get called to view our proofs.....what do I see?? I see 8 pictures of my son that are all identical, with slight ranges of smiling all in the same fake pose. HORRIFIED!! TACKY! I immediately hired a real photographer to redo his pictures and did NOT order anything from Cameo. NOT RECOMMENDED...Select from the following. i. negative; ii. positive; I think the answer is
