What is IPPG?

The Indianapolis Professional Photographers' Guild is a non-profit 501c(6) organization for photographers in the Indianapolis area and beyond. The group exists to promote fellowship, collaboration, a high level of sprit and fraternalism and to maintain high standards professionally and ethically among photographers of all levels.  We welcome all who wish to learn, grow and connect with other like-minded creatives.

Our mission is to provide professional development for serious photographers.

IPPG is a member of the Community Network of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). As such, we are able to offer "for credit" continuing education opportunities for those pursuing advanced photography credentials.

Our monthly meetings are the first or second Tuesday of each month at rotating locations and venues in the central Indiana area. Topics, speakers, dates and locations can be found in the Events Calendar. All monthly meetings, workshops and events are open to the public.

Annual memberships are available, which provide discounted rates and other member-only benefits. Membership levels exist for professional, non-professional, retired & student photographers as well as trade associates. If you would like to come "check us out" and attend one of our meetings as a one-time guest, please email our Membership Director: Kip Shawger at kipshawger@gmail.com to request a "Presidents Pass" to one of our meetings.
