Unsigned terms

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Who we are

Unsigned: The Model Launch is provided by Robbie McMahon, a sole trader in the United Kingdom, with photography and video by AMBA Studios London ("we", "us"). Contact contact@muse-managements.com about Robbie, your plan and brand work, and contact@ambastudiosldn.com about your shoot, images, media kit and edits.

By paying for Unsigned you agree to these terms. You must be 18 or over.

What this is, and what it is not

Unsigned is preparation. We are not a modelling agency. We don't represent, submit or place models, we don't apply for castings or brand work on your behalf, and we can't promise work, signing or earnings. You approach agencies and brands yourself. Robbie's route is one person's path, not a forecast of yours.

What's included

• An onboarding meeting with Robbie, about an hour, in person or online, before your shoot day. In it Robbie sets you a tailored two-week action plan.
• A shoot day in person in a London studio: a 1 hour set-up and a 2 hour shoot, styled by Robbie and photographed and filmed by AMBA Studios London.
• 30 finished images and 1 video, retouched and edited to model-portfolio standard, plus a few plain unretouched digitals taken at the start of the day (these are not counted in the 30).
• Personal-brand advice: an audit of your Instagram, how to market yourself, and a starter set of content.
• A follow-up call about two weeks after your shoot day, where we go through your plan: what got a response and what to change.
• Studio hire and photographer fees, which are already in the price.

Grooming (a barber or make-up artist) is arranged through our partners. It is part of your day only if a partner is confirmed for your date, and we will tell you whether one is confirmed before you pay. Not being able to arrange grooming doesn't change the price.

Not included: the clothes themselves, travel to and from the studio, and the optional extras below.

Price and payment

• Unsigned costs £1,500, paid in full at booking by card through Stripe. Prices are in pounds sterling and your card provider may charge for currency conversion.
• If you have bought the Handbook, its £50 is taken off, so you pay £1,450.
• Optional extras (a media kit made by AMBA Studios London, editorial edits of your images for Instagram, and lifestyle or location shoots outside the studio) are quoted to you in writing and only go ahead when you agree the price. Location fees and permits are charged at cost.
• There are two places on each monthly shoot day. Your place is held once you have paid.

Your shoot day

• We confirm your date and studio address in writing after you book.
• Please arrive on time. If you are late, your shoot time is shortened, not your fee.
• Bring four or five looks that fit well, shoes, and anything Robbie asks for at your onboarding meeting.
• Tell us about any skin allergies or sensitivities before the day if grooming is arranged.
• Shoots are clothed. We may stop a session at any time if behaviour is abusive or unsafe, and in that case the fee is not refunded.

Wardrobe

You can bring your own clothes, or give Robbie a budget and he sources pieces for you through his brand contacts where rates allow. Discounts are never guaranteed. Anything bought for you is yours to keep and the cost is yours, on top of the £1,500. Anything borrowed from a brand must be returned unworn and in the condition it was lent. If you later post gifted or paid items, you must label them as the law requires.

Delivery of your images and film

Your 30 images and the video are delivered on a private page within 21 days of your shoot day. Retouching is natural and to model-portfolio standard. If something needs a minor correction, tell us within 7 days of delivery and we will fix it once. Further editing, such as branded edits for your Instagram, is an optional extra.

Who owns the images

• Copyright in the images and film stays with AMBA Studios London.
• You receive a licence to use them for your own promotion: your social media, website, portfolio, comp card and when you contact agencies and brands. The licence is worldwide, non-exclusive and has no end date.
• You may not sell them, license them to anyone else, or use them in paid advertising for a third party without our written permission.
• Where you can, credit AMBA Studios London.
• We will only use your images in our own portfolio or marketing if you say yes in writing. You can say no and it won't affect your service.

Your right to cancel

Under UK consumer law you can cancel within 14 days of paying, for any reason, by emailing contact@muse-managements.com and copying contact@ambastudiosldn.com.

• If your shoot day is more than 14 days after you book, you get a full refund.
• If you ask us to book you onto a shoot day within those 14 days and you then cancel, you pay a fair amount for what has already been done or committed, including the studio booking and any onboarding meeting already held.
• After the 14 days, you can cancel or move your shoot day as set out below.

Refunds go to your original payment method within 14 days of cancelling.

Changing or cancelling your shoot day

• More than 14 days before your shoot day: you can move to the next shoot day with a place free, or cancel for a refund minus any costs we have already paid, such as a studio deposit.
• 7 to 14 days before: you can move once to the next shoot day, or cancel for a 50 per cent refund.
• Less than 7 days before, or if you don't turn up: no refund. If you are ill, tell us as soon as you can and we will move you once to the next shoot day.
• If we have to move your shoot day, we will offer you another date or a full refund.

Your health

Our advice on styling, grooming and personal brand is general. It isn't medical advice. If you have a health condition, skin condition or allergy that may be affected by grooming products or a long day on set, tell us beforehand.

No guarantee of results

What you do with the images, the advice and the method is up to you. Whether you are signed by an agency, booked by a brand or earn anything depends on many things outside our control, so we can't guarantee any outcome.

Our responsibility to you

We will provide Unsigned with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for anything else that can't be limited by law. Otherwise, our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid.

Your information

How we handle your information, including photos, video, measurements and your Instagram handle, is explained in our privacy policy.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
