Photo 3 Solutions make a big song and dance of being 'whistleblowers' of fake modelling agencies, so it's extremely interesting when you find out they have their own 'modelling agency' - Models 3.
It seems Photo 3 Solutions know so much about model scams because they are running one themselves.
As well as warning aspring models against paying a deposit and then demanding one themselves, Photo 3 Solutions are actually posing as a model agency.
Running a model agency is a full time job for a team of expert people, so it's hard to believe a sole trader with a 'professional' photography business has time to act as an agent for models as well.

Photo 3 Kent Wedding Photographer
One of the services Photo 3 provides is Wedding Photography.
From someone who calls themselves a 'professional' photographer and charges upwards of £1000, you would expect work of very high quality - but a look at the galleries shows that this is sadly not the case.
Wedding photography is an extremely challenging and specialist area, with high pressure and very small windows of opportunity to get perfect images that will be cherished memories for a lifetime.
Professional wedding photographers dedicate their professions to perfecting their craft and learning all the tricks and techniques needed to provide a polished service.
However, Photo 3 Solutions seems to dabble in everything from wedding photography to model portfolios to topless photography.
Do you really want your wedding shot by a glamour photographer?
Finally - the proof is in the pudding. The Photo 3 Solutions wedding gallery doesn't demonstrate the level of quality you'd expect for the sort of prices they're charging. Perhaps for a budget solution for a few hundred, they might be appropriate - but if you're going to spend thousands of pounds on a wedding photographer in Kent - you should look for a true professional.

Photo 3 Solutions Booking Fee
Photo 3 Models present themselves as a modelling scam whistleblower, but perhaps the reason they point and shout so loudly, is because they don't want anybody looking too closely at them.
They warn aspiring models that they shouldn't be paying any upfront fees for a model portfolio shoot, however they state:
We ask for a £75 booking fee to confirm your shoot.

Why are they doing exactly what they're warning against?
Because taking a booking fee for a photoshoot is absolutely standard practice, to guard against the loss of earnings and costs incurred from no-shows.
So, what is their position? Do they think that taking a deposit is bad practise or not? And if they do, why are they doing it?
Photo 3 Solutions Service Quality
Photo 3 Solutions consider themselves great experts in various domains. They advise on camera equipment, on modelling careers; they do wedding videos and even pictures of topless girls.
We could say they are Leonardo Da Vinci of photography - with skills in every area.
But isn't it too good to be true?
The answer is most definitely yes - they are no Da Vinci.
A quick look at their website demonstrates the poor quality of their work.
And there is the answer: if you try to do everything, it usually means that you're good at nothing.
Think twice before calling Photo 3 Solutions in Kent and asking for their services - find yourself a professional instead.
