Recent testimonial from a client

“I have had a general interest in photography for quite a while. After purchasing a new camera I thought it was time that I got some proper tuition on how to use it to it’s full potential. I found Platform3photo through a conversation on a Facebook photographers group and discovered that they provide basic photography courses, Private Tuition and much more. I signed up and it has been a life changing experience. I feel now that I am never going to stop learning. Dave and Mike guide you through each stage and explain everything in clear simple terms. Their passion for photography is the best motivation. I would highly recommend Platform3photo to anyone who wants to learn, improve and enjoy their photography!” Arnolda
