How to Update Your Hire an APA Pro Member Profile

Hire an APA Pro

APA has launched a new & improved search feature which will help our members get more work: Hire An APA Pro ­ —  an online portal for finding professional photographers, crew and assistants. 

Photo editors and art producers trust APA.
We want to promote you to them.
But first, you need to be searchable on the APA website.

      
As an APA member, we invite you to now log on and complete your public profile.

Begin by setting a geo-location for yourself.

Hire An APA Pro is searchable by type (such a Photographer), specialty, name or location.

The images you upload should be tagged with a specialty that reflects the image.

The number of images you can upload and specialties you can tag will be based on your membership level.

Membership Level           Number of Images / Specialties listed
Leader                                                            10
Professional                                                    8
Associate                                                        5
Supporter                                                        3
Contributor                                                      1

Search results will showcase members by their level of APA Membership – Leader first, then Professional; Associate; Supporter; Contributor.
