Review of Tempest Photography


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

1,262 people can't be wrong

65% or reviewers give 1 star & reading them, it's clear they fall into one of two categories. Either the quality of the photo or the extortionate pricing for the weird combination of photos offered. This time around, I'm OK with the quality, but once again it's impossible to buy exactly what I want. Having 'split'families must be a God-send to Tempest, as it's impossible to get two, large portraits. And who really wants passport size photos!?

It's about time schools fought back and broke this monopoly.

Tempest, please don't copy & paste your usual reply as I'm not interested.

Hello Richard, thank you for sharing your feedback.

We understand that school photography is a personal and important purchase, and we’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the experience again.

We offer an extensive range of multipacks and digital downloads to suit all pockets – and these can be duplicated or removed however you please on our website. Some of our products for new-intake and leavers are done as a combination of the individual portrait and year group. If you would like order anything that is not offered online, our Direct Order team may be able to help. Please call on 01736 751555 (opt. 3, Mon-Fri 8:15am-4:15pm) where an advisor should be able to help you further.

Tempest Photography provides schools and PTAs with an excellent fundraising opportunity through a sliding commission on every photo sold. This commission helps support school programs and resources. It could be worthwhile to reach out to your school to see if parents are taking advantage of our more affordable photo options.

We do appreciate your comments and will share this with our management team.

Kind regards, Olly.
