Legacy Membership – A Different Kind of Contribution
Legacy Membership is a respectful form of recognition for individuals whose steady presence, creative influence, or thoughtful encouragement has helped make the photography world stronger—more generous. More human. More connected.
It’s not something you apply for. It’s not tied to titles or hierarchy. It’s offered with sincerity to those whose contribution has meaning—and whose presence continues to shape the creative space we all share.
Legacy Member: Jonny Edward

“Legacy is the quiet impact of who we are and what we’ve given—not in headlines, but in choices, connections, and the way we’ve helped others grow.”
Who It’s For
Legacy Members are individuals who have strengthened the creative environment in meaningful and lasting ways. They may be photographers, mentors, advocates, or community builders. Some have lifted others through their work. Others have offered encouragement, ideas, or connection when it mattered most.
What they have in common is a steady, generous presence—and a commitment to something beyond themselves: helping creativity thrive for others, too.
Legacy Membership is our way of expressing gratitude—a sincere recognition of those who’ve helped shape a creative space that’s more open, more supportive, and built to last.
