The BFP was founded in 1965 to help freelance and aspiring freelance photographers to sell their pictures to editorial markets.
There are three divisions:
Bureau of Freelance Photographers
Whether you are a freelance or aspiring freelance photographer, an amateur or a professional, you cannot fail to benefit from membership of the BFP. It will help you to sell your pictures and to make money from your photography. Join now and, as well as other benefits, you will receive a monthly Market Newsletter giving you information on markets currently looking for pictures. Members also receive the 250-page Freelance Photographer’s Market Handbook, which has been described as the `photographer`s bible` and which celebrates its 25th year of publication with the 2009 edition. The Handbook details over 700 markets where you can sell your pictures. In addition, members have access to our advisory and mediation services and other advantages.
All for a modest £54 per annum for UK members (or £70 per annum for overseas members)
