I have been a member of ASMP ever since I opened my own photography business. It gave me a sense of community, I belonged. When you have your own business, it is you against the world. Whether you survive or prosper is up to you and only you. But does it need to be that way? When you belong to a group you immediately improve your chance to be successful. Groups like ASMP or APA have education, business and advocacy programs.
Meet people that share a common link. Network and you might find new opportunities at the least you will meet people you can talk ideas or point you in a right direction.
Asmp has over 7,000 members and growing. As our industry has evolved, so has Asmp. The local chapter has a wide range of programming. I know, I’m the new Program Chair along with Matt Janecek. Come take a look. Our next meeting is at San Diego City College and features internationally renown photographer Vincent Versace.
If you like what you see then join us, and “Belong”.
