It's yet another 'Societies' spin off.



If you want a decent organisation to join as a published sports photojournalist, look at this one:

or give me £100 and i'll gladly tell you what you want to hear, ill even throw in a membership card.

If you're not working for the national or regional press though, how can you join the SJA? And I know you said published but hypothetically, if Carol was not published, would the SISLP be beneficial?

sums it all up perfectly!!!!!!!!

Only other photographers know about these organisations....none of your customers will have ever heard of or know about them..

if anyone has to rely on telling people they are a member of bla blah to impress then they are losing the game already.....IMHO

So what does that do for you? what benefit do you get from it?

Re the first part - you can't. It's a journalists' association. Re the second - my thought's run pretty much along the same lines as Gary and Tony.

So what does that do for you? what benefit do you get from it?

At £30 pa it's more of a networking thing, as well as an industry association.

So the consensus is it isn't much benefit. Thought so. I'll stick the the RPS for now ...

I know, I was asking more for myself than Carol as I'm only published in Club programmes so that doesn't count

I was wondering that too. The website is pretty vague, apart from a membership card and golf days ...

hahaha you reccomended it! ...sorry... its funny where I am sat.. the only person in the thread reccomending somehtrign to join.. hasnt!


sorry...just my sense of humor mate

 

[DemiLion]

No probs. Sport isn't my main area of press work any more (it's more of a hobby now) so I wouldn't be eligible. However they seem to be a decent set up and I know that a few of the guys who used to post on here are members.

 

[KIPAX]

I am sure there are lots or they wouldnt exist.. just my own personal opinion is that none of them are worth it other than being able to tell your mates your in it.. or some sense of belonging with the pros.. personally.. and i must ephasise personally... cant see the point..

 

[kelack]

Pretty much the same discussion goes on in the wedding threads

 

[Gary Coyle]

So what does that do for you? what benefit do you get from it?

You get legal assistance and an internationally recognised membership card, yippedy bleeding doo
