My child's last ever school photo year…
My child's last ever school photo year 11 so had to have it. However glad it will be my last dealings with tempest. No option to purchase 1 or 2 large prints on their own. Or no package with 1 large 2 mediuim, or 1 large 1 meduim...Nobody wants 10 wallet sized prints or ones with a weird design around them! People dont really carry wallets these days
anyway. So you basically end up with loads of photos or hardly any. Why you cant buy a decent size single or 2 prints is beyond me! Absolute rip off!

Hello, thank you for your review.
At Tempest Photography, we aim to provide a number of packages that appeal to a wide variety of familial situations, and in some cases the bigger the bundle the better the price. Therefore, I am sorry to read that you are unhappy with our packages and our prices.
Whilst we supply a assortment of packages, we do also offer a digital download where you pay for the digital image and the license for unlimited printing on the high street - the more you print, the better the value.
However, I shall certainly pass your feedback onto our Marketing department who will assess your comments further.
Kind regards, Olly.

Absolute rip off!! This company should be ashamed! They know you want your child’s memories so will charge stupid prices. I paid for a class photo roll up and that’s the only one I will ever buy in my life! I hope you go bankrupt!! £43 for a framed picture is ridiculous!

Hello, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to read that you are unhappy with the service that you have received. Unfortunately, our photographers do rely on the pupils being presented to them "photo-ready", as they are limited in their interactions with the children in terms of commenting on or adjusting appearance. This is in case they inadvertently cause undue upset or offence.
Please could you contact our Customer Service team on 01736 751555 (opt. 5, Mon-Fri 8:15am-4:15pm) or email us at customerservice@htempest.co.uk where a representative will be able to look into your order and images further to see if anything can be done.

Amazing customer service from Shannon
Had my graduation in November 2024 and only just realised that one of the pictures I ordered for my USB was corrupted. I emailed customer service who replied the same day and sorted the issue out for me without any delays. Shannon was amazing and not only sorted out the corrupted USB image, but also helped me order another picture that I wanted. She was very friendly, prompt, and helpful and I can’t thank her enough.

Awful. Awful. Awful. Licence to print money.
Had school photos from Tempest. Poorly taken photo, out of focus and either over-lit or overexposed print, absolutely terrible standard. Overpriced anyway - an absolute licence to print money if you want a school photo you have to pay through the nose for poor quality. Please schools - ditch this company. Choose a reputable local business.

Hello Paul, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to read that you are very disappointed in the photographs that we have provided of her child.

However, please contact our Customer Service team on 01736 751555 (opt. 5, Mon-Fri 8:15am-4:15pm) and a representative will see if there is anything we can do with regards the out of focus images.

Refused ESA Class Photo?
My son has additional needs and had his "class photo" taken with the P1 class rather than the ESA class. My son was the the only child in the additional needs unit that was given the chance to take a photo.
The school staff asked for an ESA class photo to be taken but this request was apparently refused as they were "only interested in the core classes".
I know as an ablest profit driven company that you don't think it would be worth the time or effort working with disabled children, but I guarantee you almost every parent would throw their wallets at you to have a class photo with their actual peers.
6-10 parents buying a class photo Vs the 2 your probably selling on average would be profitable for the extra effort. A missed opportunity to look both like you care and make money. If only you could see the people beyond their disabilities.

Really disappointed
Really disappointed to see my childs school has went with Tempest again this year.
2 photos taken (of which my child is like a deer in headlights). For one 10x8 copy of one photo it is £19.50. This is considered an XL photo. For reference, the average cost of a 10x8 print is £1.20 - £4.50.
It costs £22.50 for a digital download of ONE PHOTO. £35 for two or £47 for three. Argue as you might but I beg to see the costs associated with providing a customer with a digital download of a photo and justify the prices. I dont accept this price is to reflect the purchase of copyright or thats its ‘better value’ the more i use it to get prints from it.
It is clear that, despite huge back lash last year, this company still lack integrity. But it appears no amount of disappointed reviews will be enough for them to change their ways. Clearly their profit margin remains high enough for them to remain ignorant.

Very rude
Very rude. I'm 67 on My big day. My graduation. I offered £64 in cash for two photos. They refused to accept my cash. On the other hand the gown hire woman was a lovely woman and was quite willing to take my cash. Tempest showed no compassion to an older person and their principles. Huddersfield university. I complained to head office. They never replied at all. Just an acknowledgment of recieving my email. Very hurtful

Ridiculous postage costs
Ridiculous postage costs added on at the end after already really expensive charges for tiny prints. £5 for small sized prints that probably fit flat in an A5 envelope. Packages are all for one print - should be an option to get more than one print in a package. Always feel ripped off after ordering with this company.

If I could give this company zero…
If I could give this company zero stars, I would. I recently attended my graduation at King’s College London, where Tempest Photography was hired for the event. Unfortunately, I had a deeply upsetting experience with the photographer at Booth 3, which involved both unconscious racism and discrimination.
I am a Londoner with Asian heritage, and during my photoshoot, the photographer smirked when my mother politely asked if I should stand on a stool to minimise the height difference for a better picture. To make matters worse, she also reprimanded my grandfather for attempting to take photos of me. While I understand that this was not allowed and is company policy, when I observed her interactions with a white family before us, she allowed them to take photos freely without issue. This double standard led me to question whether ethnicity played a role in the way we were treated. The smirk only added to the discomfort, and I found the entire experience deeply unsettling.
Additionally, I had a very negative experience when trying to purchase a digital picture. Joe at the stand was incredibly kind and tried to help me resolve an issue with the picture’s resolution. However, a woman in a brown suit with brunette hair abruptly reprimanded him in front of me and told me to “get out” as though we were both children. This unprofessional behaviour was shocking and deeply upsetting.
While I appreciate the kindness and patience shown by the photographer in Booth 6 (where I later went to take more photographs), as well as, Joe and, the woman who processed my order, it’s unfortunate that my overall experience was marred by negative interactions. This raises serious concerns about your recruitment practices and the values upheld by your company. Given King’s College London’s diverse student body, I am left wondering how many other families experienced similar unconscious bias, racism and unprofessionalism during their special day.
I hope that Tempest Photography will take this feedback seriously and consider the impact of unconscious bias and racism in their hiring and training processes. I strongly urge you to investigate these incidents further to ensure such behaviour is addressed. It’s crucial that staff representing such an important event for so many families act with the highest professionalism and respect for all backgrounds.

Hello Aaron, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to hear that you feel the need to complain about the prices of the packages that are offered; as one of the largest nationwide photographic companies working at university graduations, we make every effort to ensure our tariffs are priced competitively and affordably, while reflecting the quality of the materials used to process the photographs, which is of a higher standard to products processed through High Street or online photographic services.
H Tempest Ltd. works closely with the universities we are contracted with, to compile packs that they feel are designed to fit the requirements of graduates and their families across the spectrum, from individual graduates who wish to purchase a single photograph, to larger families who desire packs with multiple prints.
However, I shall forward your comments onto the relevant department, who will assess your feedback further.
Kind regards, Olly.
