The link above will open the latest edition in digital Flash Reader form that you can read on-line, print off, or download.

This website welcomes new photographers to the magazine, which can already be read on-line through our free public Flash Reader editions (see PUBLICATIONS in the right-hand column). MPA also welcomes all aspiring professional photographers to join as Affiliates, a grade below full membership open to those who itend to go full time within 3 years.

The MPA itself is restricted to full time, professional, qualified photographers and new members must pass the Diploma in Professional Photographic Practice before reaching the next stage, submission of a panel of 20 images for Licentiate qualification. Only after both these stages – normally completed in six months to a year – can they remain in membership and use the MPA logo and designated qualification.

The Catch-22 situation is that in order to qualify, you may require skills and information hard to find unless you are already a member. This is why the Affiliate membership category was established, to welcome photographers into the Association with the ability to attend regional meetings, receive the magazine, and have access to all the information full members require.

This website is in the early stages of development (May 2009) and will change substantially over the coming months. Please bookmark it, and make a return visit occasionally to see what’s new.
