As East Tennessee’s official professional photography trade organization, The Professional Photographers of East Tennessee (PPETN) is more than a local camera club, photography group, or discussion forum – it is an established not-for-profit organization promoting professionalism, advancement, and cooperation in photography throughout the region. PPETN membership consists of the area’s top photographers dedicated to providing the highest quality imagery, customer service, and products.
In their inaugural exhibition at the Emporium, PPETN members will showcase a wide range of photographic subjects and styles, reflecting works made by professional photographers for their clients and customers as well as personal projects expressing individual photographic creativity. The exhibition includes competition images prepared by members for various local, state, and national professional photography competitions. Many of the images have received awards in these competitions, hosted by PPETN itself, the Tennessee Professional Photographers Association, and the Professional Photographers of America.
PPETN organizes events every month to provide opportunities for education, support, and community for photographers in East Tennessee. Events are designed to benefit all levels of photographers.
