National Press Photographers Association

Professional Development

The NPPA has gathered a number of sources together to help photojournalists further their careers. These should be helpful for photojournalism students as well as seasoned photographers.

If you are not yet a photojournalism student, but would like to be, check out our university and college guide. If you are a student, you might need a scholarship, or mentoring.

Both students and current photojournalists will be interested in our Workshops and Seminars, and Online Education opportunities.

Need some one-on-one assistance? Try the portfolio critique service, or sign up for our Mentoring program. If you'd like to pass your experience on, you can volunteer to be a mentor yourself.

Finally, if you'd like to continue your education on your own time, have a look at the Business Practices section as well as the Self-Training Resources, which include new members-only options for Online Education.
