Upcoming Events

COME SEE US!

The Professional Photographers of San Antonio meet on the third Wednesday of every month, except for December.

Our Goal For YOU:

You might notice some changes happening to PPSA.  2020 and 2021 were tough for everyone and the PPSA leadership want to be here to help our members THRIVE during this troublesome time in our world. We are committed to supporting local photographers.

We are planning to continue in person fellowship and education in 2022.   We plan to have a safe, socially distanced environment that will allow us to see each other face to face (or mask to mask), because we all miss seeing our friends and colleagues.

OUR MISSION: 

To improve the knowledge and skills of enthusiast, student, aspiring, and professional photographers in an open and friendly environment, while providing education and fellowship to elevate the profession as a whole. 

OUR VISION: 

To provide innovation, creativity, support, and networking opportunities to build thriving and successful photography businesses. 

 Join PPSA now!

NEW FOR 2022  MAIN EVENTS and PRINT COMPETITION

PPSA EVENTS have moved!  Our first two events will be at the Marriott Courtyard San Antonio Airport ( 8615 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78217•(210) 828-7200) with a special all day program in March (Location TBA).  We have also modified our Print Competitions.  Now instead of an event every month we will have one each quarter.  Each member is allowed to enter up to three images each quarter at no charge.

SHARING THE VISION . . .

FELLOWSHIP

The PPSA Fellowship program is a means of rewarding those individuals who have given freely of their time and talents in service to their fellow members. Many members care about the success of others within the guild, and through fellowship, promote the success of fellow photographers. It also encourages those members who have volunteered their time in the past to continue to do so. We also host an annual Christmas party and other social events.

IMAGE COMPETITION

One of the best ways a photographer can grow as an artist is through image competition.  By participating in our local quarterly image competition, it will help ease your nerves and feel things out.  You will receive a constructive critique from an IPC or state-level juror, increasing your chances for success at the next level. Enjoy this member benefit and become a better photographer, making your work more salable.  Check out some of our entries above.

MONTHLY MEETINGS

Our monthly meetings bring photographers, of all skill levels, together for an evening of photographic education, print competition, and networking. PPSA brings in amazing speakers from San Antonio, Texas and Across the country to share their knowledge and success with our membership. Programs include sales and marketing, lighting, seniors, sports, weddings, post production and much more.

SCHOLARSHIPS

PPSA recognizes and acknowledges the benefits of continuing education. The best photography school in the nation is the Texas School of Professional Photography, held once a year. This school is an entire week of learning, laughing, and fellowship. PPSA is proud to award limited scholarships to qualifying members. All raffle ticket sales are placed into the PPSA Scholarship Fund and distributed at the annual awards banquet.
