Professional Photographer Re-Certification

I did it!

Every five years, a Certified photographer must renew his or her credentials by participating in continuing education programs and periodically submitting work for critical evaluation. This helps assure you that certified photographers maintain their level of expertise and continue to develop new skills and techniques.

Why a Certified Photographer?

When you hire a photographer, you want the best—but ensuring that you get the best photographer for the job can be a difficult task.

The Professional Photographers of America, as the leading certifying agency for imaging professionals, the Professional Photographic Certification program is recognized throughout the industry. When you see a photographer displaying the Certified Professional Photographer seal, you can be sure that he or she is among the less than 3% of all imaging professionals who have successfully completed and maintained this requirements.
