"I joined PPA because I wanted to feel a part of something significant in the photography industry. I’m inspired by nature and the wealth of knowledge I get from the professionals featured in Professional Photographer."
Zoe Martin Member Since 2024
"By joining PPA, I've made lots of new connections with other photographers who have encouraged me to continue to grow. While online education is valuable, nothing compares to mentorship—learning firsthand from someone who has already mastered their craft."

It's cool to see a review of my Merit Image Review image made available to everyone but best of all is the variety of subjects to view!

Professional Photographers of America is a fantastic organization with some of the most amazing photographers in the world. They offer the CPP certification process that really puts you to the test to be accepted into their professional ranks.
Ute-Christin Cowan Member Since 2012
"PPA has been a game-changer for both me and my business. First and foremost, having their insurance coverage gives me incredible peace of mind—I know that if something unexpected happens, I’m protected. That sense of security allows me to focus on what I love most: capturing beautiful moments for my clients. Plus, being associated with PPA adds a level of credibility and professionalism to my brand."
Keith Branch, M.Photog.Cr. Member Since 1984
"I became a PPA member to enhance my craft and align myself with other professional photographers who cared about the craft. PPA’s continuing education at Imaging USA, photo competitions, and speaking opportunities have benefited me greatly through the sharing of ideas, photography, and motivation."

"PhotoVision is a great place to explore curated, professional content that helps you grow as a photographer while also sparking inspiration."
Tracy Allard, M.Photog.Cr., CPP Member Since 2015
"PPA has given me a roadmap for success and a supportive community in which to grow as both a photographer, but also a small business owner. When I opened my photography studio, I searched for the most widely known and respected organization with which to align myself, and PPA was the clear choice. Coming from a corporate career, belonging to a trade organization was a given. They provide industry insights, resources specific to your business, networking opportunities, and more."
Lisa Kay Kovilic Member Since 2016
"Being a member of PPA has not only made my business stand out, but I’ve met so many photography mentors and friends through the organization. I initially joined because of Imaging USA, but quickly learned there are SO many more benefits to being a member of PPA."

"PhotoVision has helped me grow beyond just taking photos - it's helped me create with intention, purpose, and story."
