Being a certified professional photographer has its way of contributing to your growth by creating a unique opportunity. In photography, there’s a benchmark that needs to be attained which is the certified professional photographer (CPP), regardless of your area of specialty and the number of accumulated.
What are the privileges of being certified?
- Advertising: The photography industry is a competitive space and separating yourself from the crowd means a lot. Being a CPP distinguishes you from others and proves that you’re serious with your photography business.
- Pricing: This is one difficult thing to deal with especially when clients want you to justify the reason for your price (which has happened to me a number of times), being a CPP gives you the privilege to explicitly explain the value behind your services.
- Confidence: Your CPP gives you that extra boost. When your prospective clients are aware of the effort it takes to be a CPP and that you have to renew every three years then such clients will understand how serious you are and come to agree with you eventually. In addition, this will give you the clarity to further your education in topics you don’t understand.
