I am so grateful that I can be the member of Wedding Photojournalist Association
I Joined some different international photographer associations before. WPJA is the one best fit my shooting style – Photojournalist style, capturing honest moments matter.
I did a lot of works before I join it, because the acceptance process involves a rigorous portfolio review by image professionals. It only accepts a very small portion of membership applications from around the world. if you see their member guidelines you will know that they set the standard quite high.
