Australian Institute of Professional Photography

We would like to thank the following organisations for their active involvement in a partnership of growth for the Institute and the photographic industry. Our thanks extend to the owners, management and staff of all our sponsors who make it possible for the AIPP to provide a range of excellent services and opportunities for our members.

We ask our members to consider these firms when looking to purchase goods or services that they produce or supply.

	As the market leader, Canon Australia is dedicated to supporting our photographic industry and developing a strong community of professional photographers. We are, therefore, proud of our ongoing partnership with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, which is dedicated to the continued pursuit of excellence and the promotion of professional photography in Australia. Now in their 34th year, the Canon APPAs are firmly established as the pre-eminent professional photography awards in our region. Through our ongoing sponsorship of the Canon APPAs, Canon recognises and celebrates those who challenge the boundaries, unlock the potential of new technology and, in the process, redefine photography’s intent. Learn more about the Canon APPAs.

	Since the early 1990s, Epson has been instrumental in providing the worldwide community of professional photographers with the freedom to explore their art in entirely new directions. The company has achieved this through the continued research, development and introduction of unique solutions that meet the increasingly sophisticated print requirements of professional photographers. Epson’s commitment to the Australian professional photographer community is demonstrated not only by its drive to deliver market leading photo products, but its ongoing support and sponsorship of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP). Importantly, it is support regarded within Epson Australia as best exemplifying the aims of both organisations – professional excellence in the field of photography. While Epson is well-known within AIPP circles as being one of the foremost sponsors of many state based annual awards, the company’s support extends well beyond that, with ongoing initiatives and collaborative events with the AIPP to promote, educate and celebrate excellence in Australian professional photography. Epson’s reputation within the community has resulted from much more than sponsorship; and with research showing that 86 per cent of professional photographers choose Epson when printing photographs, it’s clear that our products and technologies are the key critical factors.
