What is an APNPI Accredited Photographer?
You may have heard the term “Accredited” before but did you know your photographer can seek accreditation in their work with newborns and babies?
At APNPI, our dedicated members are working hard to improve their abilities and many are seeking accreditation in our 10 available categories. So just what is an APNPI Accredited Photographer?
Currently one of our highest levels of achievement, Accreditation in a chosen category is a recognition beyond that of the QNP Certified Photographer denoting above average quality in photographic artistry. Holding an accreditation demonstrates the member as a specialist in his or her chosen field and is a stepping stone toward earning recognized designations such as Craftsman of Photography and Master Photographer.
To achieve accreditation, a member must accomplish the following:
- Successfully complete the APNPI Safety Course.
- Successfully hold the QNP Certification.
- Submit 12 images meeting a strict outline of requirements in a chosen category to an APNPI approved Judging Panel of which all 12 images must be deemed “accepted”.
Our APNPI Panel Judging Events can be quite exciting to view! If you keep an eye on our social media pages and blog, you too can watch the thorough vetting our accredited members go through. Many applicants will attempt accreditation evaluation several times before acquiring this achievement in their chosen field.
Our Accredited APNPI members have invested time, dedication and money in perfecting their craft. They have a solid understanding of lighting, posing angles, and the necessary artistic fundamentals to produce beautiful imagery. Best of all, they produce a consistent product time and time again.
When it comes to hiring an Accredited photographer, we’re confident you’ll not only notice a difference in quality, but also consistency. Our accredited members are reliable producers and provide their clients with exceptional imagery on a daily basis.
