Once you have received any of the Master of Photography, Master Artist, or Photographic Craftsman degrees from PPA, you will be invited to join the American Society of Photographers. Active members must be members in good standing with PPA.

ASP is a society of professional photographic artists who aspire to maintain the highest level of excellence by adhering to ethical standards, stimulating creativity, and continually refining technical competence. The goal of the organization is to promote education, foster fellowship, and perpetuate the ideals of photography as a science and an art.

ASP offers their own educational programs, awards and degrees (including the prestigious ASP Fellowship), and group trips and activities. The annual awards gala is held during Imaging USA.
