I’ve been a member of the ACMP for just 2 years and have just renewed my membership for a further 12 months. You can read my professional profile online at the ACMP website following this link.
Why join a professional body such as the ACMP?
There are multiple reasons for joining professional organisations. In the case of the ACMP, for my style and genre of photography it makes the most sense, since I shoot commercial projects for media including magazines, reports, books, journals and news articles.
A professional body can be a good networking tool, allowing you to meet other photographers and share knowledge. Sadly, due to my location there are no events that take place in Tasmania that are hosted by the ACMP, but I do attend events when I’m in Sydney.
Lastly, membership can also be a vehicle for promoting work to potential clients. A small body of work is visible on their site with links to my website, so perhaps I will even win some new business. We will see…
