Welcome to platformPHOTO, a blog dedicated to showcasing cutting edge photographic work by established and emerging photographers worldwide. We want to share the photography that we enjoy and admire, from the fields of fine art, social documentary and commercial photography. Our aim is to offer photographers a platform to expose and promote their projects to a global online audience, telling stories through the medium of their images. Via the means of digital communication, we encourage our audience to engage with platformPHOTO and share in our passion for photography.

Consistent interaction with photographers, galleries, agencies, creative professionals, editors and photo lovers enables us to develop an industry-wide dialogue and deliver the variety of imagery found on platformPHOTO. Furthermore, this dialogue facilitates the promotion of the art of photography and encourages the personal and professional growth of creative artists.

Melanie Philip - Editor and Founder

Hi! I’m Melanie, I am passionate about photography, digital media and sharing the arts with online audiences. I have worked in many creative fields, from film and TV to photography and for the past five years I have been marketing manager for an international photography organisation. Fascinated about discovering new photographers and exploring the world through images, I decided to take on a personal project. I founded platformPHOTO to feature the work of photographers I admire and whose work I want to share with others. Accordingly, the opinions expressed in this site are my own.
