About Us

What We Do

Image Makers Association Australia represents both professional and emerging photographers across Australia through education, advocacy, celebration, and connection. 

We work on behalf of our members to enhance the business landscape for the photography profession, fostering confidence in the value of photography and ensuring it remains a sustainable career path for the future.

Our members include commercial photographers working in diverse fields such as portraiture, editorial, architecture, food, advertising, corporate, lifestyle, travel, social media content, still life, studio work, and more. In today’s evolving market, many photographers work across multiple areas, and the lines between these specialisations often blur. It’s crucial for photographers to understand how to manage a variety of client types and navigate different licensing agreements as needed.

We are a single tier association where all members are valued equally, and we operate on the premise that success is calculated in the marketplace. Our role is to support members so that they each can confidently establish and maintain viable businesses that thrive in a competitive market.
