Professional Aerial Photographers' Association
A professional trade organisation for aerial photographers worldwide, PAPA helps members through business education, together with seminars, meetings and workshops on the craft and technology of aerial photography. It has an annual conference early in the year and regional events in September.
Activities
PAPA held its first ever event outside the U.S. in January 2006, in Australia, and since then has staged events in Canada and Puerto Rico. It has an annual conference, where one new feature is to give conference participants the opportunity to fly an actual photo mission. The Annual Print Competition lets members show their best work.
Resources
PAPA provides essential information about aerial photography on its website, FREE to everyone, including a historical account and a guide to present-day activity. Visitors can also search the database of members to Find an Aerial Photographer.
