Advantages: everyone wins the prize draws

Disadvantages: expensive, not much choice

Venture photography- what a rip-off! I was in the city centre one day when one girl came upto me and said-please fill in the details and if you are lucky- you will win £250 worth of venture vouchers which is a photoshoot and a framed 5*7" photo. i usually dont sign up for such things in the city centres but just thought i'll go for it. And few days later came a phone call saying I have won ti!!Oh wow!!i dont win such prize draws so easily and i thought i was so lucky. So i fixed a day for a photoshoot. The photographer (who seemed more like a learner) took around 35-40 photos and said we will have to come after couple of days to see the edited photos and can then purchase any portraits. After 2 days, he showed us only 20 photos and we asked if we can see all photos and he said only the best ones were edited and shown. I thought we get to choose the best ones. Anyways, all i wanted was the free small photo but they tried to persuade me to buy something else. I know its their job but they are too pricy- you could probably get a room renovated to that price- some even £2000-3000. Oh and the best thing my friend calls up and tells me that she has won it too-Apparently they call everyone who fills the forms- no prize draw as such. Who turns up get the photos.
You are better off getting some photo shot somewhere else, print it in jessops or tescos and buy some frame to match your room. I have done it and it turned out to be a lot better than venture's.

Summary: Its too expensive, print it somewhere else and frame it with readymade frames
