It’s color-coded by topic, always up-to-date, and with advanced search functions so you can always quickly find what you need, when you need it.
Copyright Protection Tools
ASMP offers a Complete Copyright Curriculum that will give you a full understanding of how to protect the photographs, video, and film you create — plus we provide you with easy-to-use forms to get the appropriate model releases, and to properly register and license your work.

In addition to its 6,500 strong and growing National Membership, ASMP has 38 local chapters across the United States, and Members in 22 countries — wherever you are, will be, or want to be, we have the in-person events, committees, boards, and online programs to introduce you to the connections that can change and grow your career. Many of our Members have built their careers with us for decades.
One-on-One Clinic Hours
