PPW History Established 1948

From its beginning The Professional Photographers of Washington has been defined as an association focused upon member benefits, clearly defined responsibilities, and opportunities for all to work together toward common objectives and goals. Having moved forward toward six decades of this consistency with continuing professional education, skills enhancement, individual mentoring and personal growth – PPW has become a beacon of achievement.

In a world bombarded with options, PPW has stood firm on a foundation of members who are individually and collectively committed to a standard of professional excellence that is reflected in accolades, merits, awards and degrees.

As the association moves forward, we the membership look back to those who have established the standard upon which we are creating new and even greater opportunities for professional achievement.
