Lumiere,


Certification was only introduced around 2nd quarter this year after the new president Matthew Tan & new committee took over the affairs of WPAS. The first round of members to undergo this were the committee. We have had few mini runs and are will be doing a major Certification exercise on 25th Nov to have as many members as possible come forward to become Certified when they clear the process.

There are currently more than 10 Certified members currently, those not shown in the web site are either in the update stage or have still yet to return us their filled up page layout for the web site. Over the last 2 months we welcomed 6 new members; about half of them have become Certified. We have a pool of members who have yet to submit for Certification so what you see on the website is only part of our total number.

WPAS is a on going work in progress, if our approach is benefits the members, address their advancement as working professionals our numbers will grow and are growing which shows our direction is one that works. We will start doing public awareness work from Jan 2010 onwards at the Her World Road Show.

As a member photographer, there is only 1 tier, our associates are non photographers who can be individuals or company in the wedding industry. As an benefit for being Certified, only Certified members will be shown in the Photographer listing.

I trust this explains the situation to you. If there are other areas that need clarification feel free to ask.

Team comprising of Hilarion Goh (team leader), Matthew Tan (President WPAS), Albert Chua (Founding memeber WPAS) and Dennis Ng.

Every photographer complains "Money not enough".Well the WPAS heard you !!
To help you earn more come listen to a nearly 3 hour talk on the experiences that allows overseas award winning wedding photographer Jim Liaw, FMPA (UK) MBA to "Earn More while shooting less". The distilled essence of 16 years of working through what works and does not work. This force together with side by side growth in image excellence has propelled his company for a 2 man team to a 9 man team in a couple of years. A great opportunity for free lancers and professionals benifit from this sharing of what works from some one who is walking the talk. Learn about branding for a businessowner's perspective and not from a consultant's.
