One of the most important benefits of being a Professional Member is the Find A Photographer database, which is very popular with photography buyers. Using name, location or specialty, a buyer can find you in seconds and can follow a hyperlink to your website.
Members who work as photo assistants can list themselves in the Find An Assistant database.
ASMP's Good Offices service puts the national office staff at your service to inform and advise you in matters like insurance, copyright law and registration, business practices, collections, and conflict resolution. ASMP can also refer you to legal counsel, if your business dispute becomes a legal dispute.
The ASMP Professional Business Practices in Photography book (now in its 7th Edition) is a uniquely valuable resource sent to all new members. It is the most authoritative guide to doing business available to you. Members can also purchase the book at a discount; see this page (member login required).
A detailed list of benefits is here.
Through their dues, ASMP members support important legislative initiatives and legal cases and industry advocacy efforts that have an impact on your professional business interests and the overall marketplace. They also support educational and publication efforts aimed at making photographers better equipped to successfully continue in business.
Yes, for a nominal fee, you can set up automatic monthly credit card billing to a Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Discover card.
ASMP has negotiated member pricing with a large number of suppliers, covering the gamut of your business needs. Computers and software, office supplies, health and liability insurance, car rentals, web hosting, cell phone service … and more. The current list is on this page.
ASMP requires that applicants for Professional Membership demonstrate that they have been actively and consistently engaged in professional practice for at least three years.
Students must submit documents that demonstrate they are enrolled. Applicants for other categories are not required to undergo any review but must be prepared to demonstrate that they meet the qualifications for the membership category applied for, if asked.
Should that happen, you may still join ASMP at a level commensurate with your experience and current situation. At any time that you gather the necessary professional experience to qualify for Professional Member, you may request a transfer of categories.
While upgrading is no longer required, it is encouraged, as your professional publication experience grows. An Emerging Associate is an exception because it is only a one-year membership and is automatically upgraded to the Associate at the completion of the year.
ASMP does allow outside vendors access to the membership roster, but only after any potential offerings are fully reviewed for consistency with ASMP policy. If you prefer not to receive any vendor information, you can easily click the "do not share" option in your member profile. Or a quick e-mail or phone call to the national office will keep your name off any list sent to outside solicitors.
You can fill out an online application form right here. This is the fastest method.
Or, if you prefer, download the membership application form and fill it out. Then mail it or fax it to the ASMP office (see below).
