Гы... Ассоциация свафотчиков - одна... Остальное - шушера типа нашего муведа)))))
Для WPJA - достаточно сайта, заявки, членской платы - где-то $300 в год и все. Как раз вчера это все пролопатил. Требования - очень небольшие... Мизерные я бы сказал.

2. Image Content:
Photographers are granted membership into the WPJA when their web-image content and picture editing meet WPJA standards. Members must have more than 25 sample wedding images on their web site (25 images, not 25 weddings).
Photographers oftentimes display their wedding images within separate galleries on their site. This practice is encouraged as long as the images are contained within their appropriately labeled galleries. For example, we feel that a gallery labeled ‘Getting Ready’ should contain images of people preparing for the wedding day, and not be full of portraits and details. We recommend that applicants/members consider creating separate galleries labeled ‘Portraits’ and ‘Details’ if there is an excessive amount (according to WPJA membership guidelines) of these types of images on their site. However, a ‘Featured Wedding’ gallery should have a variety of different types of images from the same wedding, most of them being moments.
WPJA members should not have more than 25-35% of the wedding images on their web sites from the following combined categories*:
Portrait (photographer has control of the posed situation)
Set-Up (subjects faking a moment or actions prompted by the photographer)
Camera Aware (subjects staring into the camera)
Details (flowers, cakes, rings, tables, gowns, shoes)
Manipulated Images (pictures heavily altered with software: sepia, selenium or other toning, selective tinting, soft-focus effects, vignetted edges, desaturation, texture overlays)
NOTE: Our WedPix article on Using Warm Tones (Sepia) Sparingly adds clarity and insight to the excessive use of toned images.
*The above-mentioned percentage serves as a general guideline.
А теперь - посмотрите на муведе выполняет он эти требования или нет. Скорее - нет. Поэтому достаточно бабла и ты "член".
Хотите быть "членом"? Так заплатите и все! :D
А вот в ассоциации ПРОФЕССИОНАЛОВ - там нужно отснять не менее 50 (ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ!!) свадеб, представить 2 свадьбы ПОЛНОСТЬЮ, иметь поручение 2-х членов клуба, побыть наблюдателем год и еще пройти комиссию.... Это не 300 баксов заплатить... :D
