The main responsibilities of the American Professional Photographers Association

With a history of more than 60 years, [ImagingUSA Image America] is an annual PPA annual meeting and international photography exposition held by PPA for professional photographers all over the world, and is regarded as one of the largest, most authoritative and influential large-scale photography events in the world. The Expo is held in different cities in the United States in the form of a roving exhibition every year. Every exhibition city often has to go through fierce competition to get the right to host, and once it gets the right to host, it means that the host city will gain high cultural popularity and considerable economic benefits, thus comprehensively enhancing the overall cultural image of the host city.

PPA holds "Image Asia-International Professional Photographers Conference" and "PPA International Professional Photographers Exhibition" every year. The exhibition is divided into art and business categories, with gold, silver, bronze and merit awards. At the same time, various large-scale activities such as awarding prizes, conferring titles, training, lectures, introduction of new technologies, equipment display, etc. were carried out, and PPA Annual of Classic Works of International Professional Photographers was published. PPA has an indisputable leading position in the field of photography education. Since the birth of 1937 PPA Master of Photography, this academic education has become the most authoritative photography education in the industry and the most coveted honor for photographers. PPA training is mainly conducted by allied photography schools, professional photography training institutions and online education platforms in the United States and even around the world.

PPA holds "PPA International Professional Photographer Master Class" and "American Professional Photographer Training Class" every year. Famous professional photographers give professional lectures, systematic training and on-site creative practice, so that members can obtain the most cutting-edge artistic innovation and the most authoritative technical guidance. After passing the exam, they can get the graduation certificate of PPA international professional photographer master class or American professional photographer training class.
