The British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) is a not-for-profit organisation for professional photographers in the United Kingdom. Members must be qualified professionals, and agree to be bound by the BIPP's code of conduct.

The institute was formed as The Professional Photographers' Association on 28 March 1901, at a meeting at a hotel in Fleet Street, and has since changed its name three times, including Institute of Incorporated Photographers.[1] From 100 members at its outset, the institute now has over 500 members. Members can become qualified at three different levels as assessed by the BIPP, with the highest being Fellowship (FBIPP).

The current CEO of the British Institute of Professional Photography is Martin Baynes.

Organisational structure
