Hi guys,

As some of you will know, I am a sports photographer primarly. I have, over the past couple of months, been looking at joining the SISLP (Society of International Sport and Leisure Photographers), however I am looking to hear from you guys if it is worth it?

It is £99 for 18 months (when 18 months for the price of 12 is selected), however this does not include the fee for applications for Qualifications. I am looking to apply to become an LSISLP at a fee of £60. For this to happen, you need to be a member of the society, at £99. The time you have sent the CD of images etc etc, you are looking at £170.

From experience and from what you have heard, is it worth it? I would be the only LSISLP on the Isle of Wight, and this would play in my advantage. It would allow me to run some publicity in the local papers.

Any help much appreciated.
 
I've got no idea about that particular organisation, I'd be amazed if your potential customers had and I'll eat my phone if one of them said they were remotely interested.

Personally, I'd concentrate on building up networks and contacts, especially where you are where word of mouth wins. Spend the £170 on a good **** up and watch the orders flood in :p
