• ADPA Membership is open to full-time professionals only. A website portfolio and two client references are required. You'll be asked to list the name & email address or telephone number of two individuals who know the quality of your work. Membership is granted after review of your website portfolio and verification of your client references.

• Membership includes direct links to your own personal email and website. The ADPA Directory is recognized by aerial photography buyers as the most trusted resource for finding qualified aerial drone photographers. Photography buyers book assignments directly with you through your own personal website–not through the ADPA. The ADPA does not collect a commission or charge a fee for the assignments you receive as a result of your listings.

1. Maintain the highest level of honesty and integrity, and be above reproach in all professional business practices.

8. Maintain a level of trust, confidentiality and proprietary respect with clients in all projects and assignments.
