PPAS General Membership is open to all, and Full/Affiliate/Associate Memberships are for photography professionals and individuals / organizations associated with the field of professional photography.

Joining our ranks as a PPAS member will put a wealth of resources in your reach for your photographic career – from professional equipment support to the industry knowledge and wisdom from older, more established peers.

Being a part of this association is more than just bringing benefits to your business. Individually we are small, but here we are committed to form a strong collective voice that is striving to establish a sustainable and thriving professional photography community, imbued with good working protocols and ethics for both us and clients, in Singapore and also the rest of the world.

Full/Affiliate membership applicants will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 jurors from the membership sub-committee, so as to ensure that qualified members are capable of delivering a consistent quality of work and also sufficiently equipped to run a sustainable business with integrity and professionalism.
