About the IPPA

The IPPA or Intermountain Professional Photography Association exists (among other things), to help professional photographers develop their skills, raise and improve the standard of professional photography, and to foster new and creative ideas for their business. Being active in the organization and taking advantage of the many educational opportunities sponsored by the IPPA will enhance and improve your talents as a professional photographer.

During the year there are scheduled at least three quarterly seminars and other various activities. These seminars generally consist of one-day events with well-known speakers who present subjects of interest to all of us aspiring to learn and achieve greater success in our field of photography. Additionally once a year, during the fall, we get together for our annual convention, which runs three days and includes one of the larges photographic trade shows and print competitions in the area. Scholarships to approved PP of A photographic schools are also given away at the Quarterly and Annual Conventions.

Membership in the IPPA gives you the chance to make new friends and learn what other professional photographers are doing and how they are solving some of the same problems and challenges you may have.

The Photographix Camera Club meets at the Layton Library on the third Thursday of every month. There are many field trips and other photo outings throughout the year. The purpose of the club is to create a fun and friendly environment for photographers that will help each member to be motivated and to grow through workshops, competitions, and networking.

The Utah Creative Freelancers group is a monthly meetup group for tips on the marketing and business aspects of being a creative freelancer. You know -- the stuff that eats up 80% of our work hours.

A group for Utah photographers of all experience levels who create, or just appreciate, off-camera flash photography of all subject matters.

This is intended to be a local sub-group of the larger Strobist group on Flickr, with the specific goal of bringing people with a common interest in a local area together, to facilitate communication, technical discussions, and occasional group meetings.

The regional emphasis will likely be the Salt Lake County and Wasatch Front area, but anybody from Utah is welcome to contribute and join. Please feel free to contribute any of your offshoe flash photography to the picture pool.

Photowalking Utah is a photography group that has monthly events in and around Northern Utah. The events are open to photographers of all skill levels. With a deserved nod to Thomas Hawk's now famous San Francisco Photowalks, the first Salt Lake City Photowalk was held on a rainy Saturday on October 6th, 2007. With just a handful of the original founding members on this 'walk, the word spread and participation quickly grew.

After beginning life originally as Photowalking Salt Lake City, the name was changed to Photowalking Utah shortly after to meet the expanding geographic scope of outings being held by the group. With no desire to be overly official, the group has been humorously referred to as a "group of like-minded individuals who get together regularly for fun and learning".

After over two plus years of successful monthly (and impromptu) outings, Photowalking Utah has grown to over 600 members and has great prospects for continuing the fun into the future.

Keep up to date with announcements on the official website at PhotowalkingUtah.com for the latest information on upcoming events and the Flickr group message boards for discussions on prior outings.

If you are a hybrid D-SLR user (owned or not) this is a club for you. This group is focused on the video applications only of the new hybrid cameras.

We welcome any brand or model of D-SLR user, but the name of the of club was just too cool to pass by.

We meet monthly to share, shoot, educate. Provo based club.

The ProvoCreative meetup group is a club/network of media artists... from filmmakers, actors, models and photographers. ProvoCreative has become the hub of the media arts in Utah Valley, with weekly activities going on for the different areas of interest.

One activity a month is focused on the model and photographer experience. We shoot, network and instruct each other in fun and big activities.

This is a great place to learn, experience and build that network of people in the know. Join us.

If you just like photography or if you are addicted to it... please check out the Provo Photography meetup group.

Every month we have an event that takes us out to shoot and/or learn something fun! This is for the general photographer... interested in all types of photography.
