I was encouraged to join the AIPP by my first wedding photography mentor, Samm Blake. It was a great move for me as a photographer - making me accountable to the AIPP’s standards, ensuring I kept up with my Continued Professional Development through workshops and mentoring, and then by pushing myself and being brave enough to enter the State and National professional photography awards (WAEPPA and APPA).
By trying to create images that will shine in the awards’ judging, I am continually honing my craft and improving as both a professional photographer and as an artist.
