PPO is a PPA Affiliate!
PPA Affiliates are individual professional photography organizations that have chosen to partner with Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Membership in PPA is separate from membership with PPO.
As a PPA affiliate PPO provides additional opportunities for our members like:
An expanded network: When you join a PPA Affiliate like PPO, you'll meet and interact with a host of professionals. They have diverse backgrounds and even more diverse skill-sets. There are affiliates located all over the world, meaning there's no reason not to get involved in your area.
Education: One key to the success of any business owner is continued education and PPA Affiliates offer that in spades. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn and grow from your peers, but you'll also be able to earn merits towards PPA degrees!
Fellowship: You love being a photographer. Now feel the energy that comes from being surrounded by professionals just as passionate about your craft as you are. As photographers, we often work alone. Getting involved in a PPA Affiliate lets you share with your peers the joys, the pains and everything in between that makes our field so unique!
