About the PPGH Founded in 1950, the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston has grown to become one of the largest guilds in the United States. The Houston Chapter of the Professional Photographers of America is one of the most active guilds in the country. With over 220 members its purpose is to create an atmosphere in which professional photographers may associate and learn from one another and stay current with trends in the industry. Serious full time professional photographers realize the importance of being an active part of the association. It is by being active that the greatest learning experience begins. The Houston organization strives to place all members based upon the level of achievement in their areas of particular interest. PPGH comprises professional portrait, wedding, videographers, corporate, industrial, advertising, and commercial photographers as well as electronic image makers and photographic artists, students, and individual firms servicing the photographic industry. Members are assessed annual dues according to the specific membership category in which they belong. All members are required to subscribe to our code of ethics and standards.
