This site is a point for dissemination of information among our membership and a source
of information for those interested in professional photography
activities, finding a photographer, or photographic services in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Membership is available to full-time professional photographers
and industry suppliers. Many of our members have web sites
for information about their services with a gallery of their photos.
The organization provides education through seminars and
workshops in wedding, portrait, commercial, executive, video, and fine art
photography; as well as digital imaging and business practices. Activities include quarterly meetings plus an annual
convention and trade show with a print competition and
exhibition. Active within the association is a special group for PPA Certified
members, and an artists group providing education in negative and print retouching, and
photo restoration techniques.
Our active membership of over 250 full and part-time studios includes PPA degreed Master, Craftsman, and
Certified Professional Photographers (CPP); as well as members affiliated with the
American Society of Photographers (ASP) and other national organizations. We also
have a supporting membership that includes vendors and suppliers
of photographic equipment and supplies, cameras, wedding albums, picture frames, props,
and backgrounds; and professional photo finishing labs providing color and b&w
services.
