As trends, technology, and the consumer landscape changes, PPA remains committed to serving 35,0000+ members across 70+ countries. At PPA, our goal is to empower our members to build sustainable, profitable businesses while elevating their photography skills. We do this by offering competition, certification, and degrees as the pathway for photographers to refine their craft and stand out to clients. Our members stay ahead of the curve with benefits like Professional Photographer magazine, a vast online educational library, curriculums, a variety of year-round workshops, and our annual conference, Imaging USA. To safeguard our members’ businesses, we offer equipment insurance, malpractice coverage, and the indemnification trust, assisting hundreds every year.
