Benefits of Membership
Membership in NVPS is open to photographers of every skill level, from beginner to professional. Members can participate in monthly competitions, have their work critiqued in a supportive and positive manner, get expert help from fellow members in the mentor program, and learn how to produce a portfolio in the multi-month “Portfolio Project”. NVPS provides a fast way to improve your photography skills and to share creative ideas with like-minded people.
