What does it mean to be a "certified professional photographer"? Anyone can call themselves a professional photographer, but to be PPA Certified is a designation granted by the Professional Photographers of America, The Professional Photographic Certification Commission is the world’s leading certifying agency for imaging professionals. Those who have earned the PPA Certification have passed a comprehensive written exam measuring their technical expertise, and have successfully submitted their work to a panel of judges for review and approval. Every five years, a PPA Certified photographer must renew his/her credentials by participating in continuing education programs and periodically submitting work for critical evaluation. This helps assure you that your photographer maintains his level of expertise and continues to develop new skills and techniques. This certification of professional excellence is held by fewer than 3% of all professional photographers.
