ASP Honorary Fellowship

The ASP Honorary Fellowship is the highest distinction the Society may bestow in recognition of selfless, unwavering dedication to the advancement of professional photography. Reserved for individuals whose contributions have profoundly elevated the image and influence of the photographic arts, this honor may be awarded to those within or beyond the profession—regardless of membership in PPA or ASP. This rare accolade is not granted lightly. Only one Honorary Fellowship may be awarded in a given year, and only after two consecutive years of unanimous approval by the ASP Board of Governors. Nominations may be submitted to the ASP Board of Fellowship Committee for thoughtful consideration. The Honorary Fellowship stands as a tribute to those whose vision, advocacy, and enduring impact have left an indelible mark on the photographic world.
