Being part of PSA has helped me grow so much as a photographer. The exclusive webinars after each individual competition round have been incredibly valuable. They’ve sharpened my skills and inspired me in ways I didn’t expect.

Minke Groenewoud Beerda, Netherlands

Member Since: 2023

Becoming a member of PSA has been a true path-opener for me. It has been a journey of continuous learning and travel, but most importantly, it has brought me into a community of people who share the same passion for photography - a true family. In this family, we support one another, offer help, and even open up and introduced our countries to each other. The greatest asset of this community lies in the wealth of shared knowledge, the engaging webinars, the genuine support that flows among its members and of course, the shared love for photography.

Joining PSA has been a fantastic experience. I've made friends from all over the world, and we've become a global community. We stay connected, share knowledge, and support each other. When I travel, I feel at ease knowing I have friends in my destination who can offer advice and assistance.

David Lumentut, Indonesia

Member Since: 2022

As a member, I have the opportunity to participate in online photography courses, as well as group discussions. PSA not only provides professional support, evaluates images in categories such as travel, journalism, and nature, but also encourages creativity, motivating me to develop and improve my skills. PSA recognizes progress through new submissions, not just awards. In addition, I can participate in individual competitions, display my work, and meet other photographers through exhibitions, and photo gatherings. This is a journey of continuous learning, connecting, and sharing my passion for photography!
