What are the benefits of being an ASMP member?
One of the most important benefits of being a General 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.
