Hello.
APA National launched a new content rich website that includes in-depth interviews with leading visual communicators like Todd Baxter, Harold Lee Miller, Keith Barraclough and Kristofer Dan-Bergman. The Harold Lee Miller piece is the best essay we’ve read on selecting portfolio images. Todd Baxter offers timeless advice on client services and debriefing projects when complete. Access to this insight is worth the annual investment in an APA membership – plus you can save 20% by joining today.

Here are few extra reasons to join:

Advocacy
Photographic images are being appropriated, re-posted and stolen at an unprecedented rate. To control your work is to have a voice in your future.

Central to APA’s mission is a belief in the ongoing value of images and image-makers. We believe the 21st century economy has a place for thoughtful, valued, and eye-opening imagery alongside the abundant, crowd-sourced, and freely-shared images of everyday life.

If you continue to believe in the power of photography to change minds, influence decisions and provide a fair living to its creators, then join us.

Together we give our shared vision a stronger voice.

Open Enrollment
Any member can join at any level. We understand that everyone’s professional path is unique. We migrated to an open enrollment system to give members the flexibility to choose the member level that best fits your needs. Until August 29, memberships start at just $40 for an entire year.

Member Benefits/Rewards

All APA member plan(s) start with five core benefits: portfolio in APA creative network, discounts on events and competitions, access to members-onlycontent, pro media ID card, and a searchable member profile onAPAnational.org. That’s big value for a small investment.

Membership Sale
Let an APA membership go to work for you. By accessing just a few benefits a membership can pay for itself. Today annual memberships have been reduced by 20%. And, if you sign-up for a monthly plan we will take 20% off your first payment. The time to join is now.

It’s mind boggling when you think of all the online galleries, portals, and social media sites photographers use to market their work: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Behance, Flickr, AtEdge, FoundFolios, Workbook, Dripbook, Le Book, 500px, Altpick, The Creative Finder, One Eyeland, Production Paradise……ok we’ll stop now. The problem with all of these is that your work is displayed in a generic, cookie-cutter format where it’s easy for the art buyer to skip along from one photographer to the next. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where you controlled the viewer’s experience and conveyed your personal vision & brand? There is…it’s calledyour website.

Join APA/SD for a discussion and in depth look at photographer websites. We’ll figure out what works and what doesn’t. Attendees are invited to submit sites for review. Attendance is limited to 15, so reserve your spot today.

Date: August 20th, 2014
