Run a Successful Photography Business

Equipment Insurance Up to $15,000 of coverage is included with your membership. With flat premiums and total replacement value, the PhotoCare Basic Equipment Insurance will be there to save the day in the event of a disaster.
Data-Loss Protection When those really bad days occur, PPA softens the blow by offering strong support to photographers with an active membership in the U.S. and Canada through PPA’s Indemnification Trust.
Dissatisfied Client Protection PPA's Indemnification Trust also protects you if a client is unsatisfied and you need legal support. This unique coverage is a lifesaving benefit and comes included with the PPA Professional Active Membership. And because this is not insurance, your rates will never go up if you need to file a claim.
Online Learning Center Members worldwide have access to multiple opportunities when it comes to learning and growing their photography craft and business skills. One-day events, online programs, vast libraries of training videos– we want photographers to succeed!
Photographers-only Online Community Whether it’s online networking forums or engaging photographers worldwide through multiple social media platforms, face-to-face workshops, an annual conference, or monthly webinars, the PPA community ensures that you never feel like you’re out there alone!
Sample Contracts and Copyright Kit Drafting an agreement from scratch so you are protected takes expertise and time. That’s why members of PPA have access to a large library of ready-made contracts and other forms for them to use, edit, or compare.
Sales & Marketing Tools Tools for members to tap into to improve their sales process, better justify their costs, up the quality of their photography, develop new products-and-services offerings, and market themselves.
