The New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association (NHPPA) is a non-profit association of professional photographers and other interested persons who are dedicated to photography as an art, business, and science. The mission of the NHPPA is to assist its members in achieving their personal and professional artistic goals; to promote public awareness of the photography profession; and to advance the making of images in all of its disciplines as an art, a science, and a visual recorder of history.
NHPPA offers a number of educational opportunities to help you become a better photographer as well as learn more about the business of photography. These include monthly meetings, a fall seminar, mini monday events, full-day photofestivals, as well as our annual convention. The convention also includes a formal (PPA-style) image competition to provide constructive, educational feedback to help members improve their skill as image makers.
Our monthly dinner meetings, which are normally held on the first Wednesday of the month, are a great way to network with other photographers and share the evening with a great speaker.

In the fullest sense of the word, we are emerging from a cocoon jam-packed with Zooms and Facetimes, and long days working from home punctuated with countless Amazon deliveries.
Some of those daily events may transpire into the "new normal, " it's true.
