Organizations

ASMP : American Society of Media Photographers

In the autumn of 1944 at the end of World War II, two dozen photographers gathered in Ewing Krainin’s NYC studio and formed what is currently known as the American Society of Media Photographers. They believed an organization was needed for professional photographers to advocate for their rights, and support their passion for creating photography.

75 years later, ASMP now serves a diverse membership of photojournalists, commercial and editorial photographers, videographers, hybrids, etc., and has become the premiere industry leader in promoting photographers’ rights, providing business education, and assisting photographers to connect with clients.

ASMP’s 75th Anniversary will launch this fall will with the theme 20/20 Vision/em>–with a nod to the past, and sights set on the future. ASMP looks to the future of photography, to the new outlets that will emerge, and will continue being the linchpin to visual language in the new digital age.
