JOIN METROPPA

Believe Together

MetroPPA is a non-profit 501(c)(6) organization, based in Oklahoma City, under the umbrella of the national Professional Photographers of America. The PPA is the world's largest nonprofit photography association organized for professional photographers, by professional photographers, and you help us be 30,000 strong...present in more than 50 countries!

 

Why Join Metro PPA?

  • When you join a Community Network, you'll meet and interact with a host of professionals. They have diverse backgrounds and even more diverse skill sets. There are community networks worldwide, meaning there's no reason not to get involved in your area.

  • One key to the success of any business owner is continued education and Community Networks offer that in spades. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn and grow from your peers, but you'll also be able to earn merits toward PPA degrees!

  • You love being a photographer. Now feel the energy that comes from being surrounded by professionals just as passionate about your craft as you are. As photographers, we often work alone. Getting involved in a Community Network lets you share with your peers the joys, the pains and everything in between that makes our field so unique!
