Your life is full of stories that deserve to be properly recorded and preserved. But how do you select
a photographer in a world where anyone can claim to be a professional? The PPA Certified designation
helps consumers find photographers who meet a high standard of technical skill, creativity, and business
practices.
The PPA Certified photographer has the skills and abilities to create much more than a picture...he or she
can tell the story of who you are or even who you might like to be.
All PPA Certified photographers must:
- pass a rigorous 3-part comprehensive written examination measuring their technical expertise.
- submit images for critical review.
- submit to a reference and credit check.
Moreover, all PPA Certified photographers must participate in the continuing education program of the
Professional Photographer's of America (PPA) and periodically submit their work for critical evaluation
to maintain their certification. This ensures that all those holding the PPA Certification designation
not only maintain their level of expertise, but also continue to develop new skills and techniques.
The PPA Certified designation is granted by the Professional Photographers of America, the world's
largest and oldest Association of professional photographers and image makers, with more than 14,000
members in 64 nations.
Whether photographing family reunions or sports teams, babies or brides, each PPA Certified photographer
has dedicated his or her life to creating superior, unique images. This ensures that whenever you
enter a studio that displays the PPA Certified emblem, you will be dealing with a photographer who meets
a high standard of technical skill, creativity and business practices.
Wright Studio of Keene, NH is one such studio.
