First founded in 1938, the NZIPP is a non-profit Incorporated Society run by professional image-makers. The NZIPP represents the interests of professional photographers across New Zealand on issues relevant to the industry such as copyright, legal and business matters, and technical developments in rapidly changing areas such as digital imaging.
The NZIPP Accredited Professional Photographer sets our members apart from other photographers, ensuring that our members are professional in the true sense of the word.

DISPUTES PROCESS
