| The Irish Professional Photographers Association was founded in 1949 and for nearly half a century has been serving the interests of professional photographers and dedicating itself to the improvement of standards in Ireland. The Association requires that its members adhere to a strict code of conduct and carry out their business in a way that will enhance the respect the Association has earned for itself at both national and international levels. All IPPA members are dedicated and competent full-time professionals, in business to stay and not only gain but maintain a reputation for customer satisfaction and reliability. I attend seminars held throughout the year with a view of improving technique organised by IPPA, laboratories and film companies such as Kodak and Fuji |
