We are very proud of our commercial photographer Jose Aguiar for achieving the status of Master of Photography by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.

This is what is required to be an Accredited professional photographer in Australia:

2. Demonstrate that they have satisfied clients and suppliers by providing written references
3. Demonstrate that they comply with all legal, ethical and moral business requirements to practice as a professional in Australia
4. Demonstrate that their photographic skills are of a “Professional Standard”
5. Agree to have a portfolio of their work, assessed by experienced AIPP image assessors
6. Achieve the required portfolio assessment standard.
7. Agree to continue their professional development through the AIPP CPD program, maintaining up-to-date skills and business practices each year.

After the submission of your professional work to AIPP and being accepted as an Accredited member, the photographer is allowed to enter the Australian Professional Photography Awards.

This is a yearly national photography competition where each accredited member can submit up to 4 prints per year to be judged. If the print receives an award, the photographer receives a merit point.

The professional receives the following designations based on the number of merit points he/she has received in a period of time.
