Which is the correct Membership level for me?

You will need to choose your most appropriate level of membership, based on eligibility criteria such as working history, or student status.

The common levels of membership are:-

  • Student (I am an enrolled student, or gaining work experience with an industry company, or passionate about cinematography)
  • Associate (I am NOT in the Camera Department, however my work relates to cinematography)
  • Camera Crew (I am a Cinematographer with less than 5 years experience)
  • Full (My primary form of employment has been as cinematographer during the last 5 years)
  • Accredited (I have worked professionally as a cinematographer for at least 8 years, and a full Member of the ACS for at least 3 years)
  • Retired (I am aged over 50, retired, and have remained either a Full or Camera Crew  Member for at least 10 years consecutively)

Each application requires proof of eligibility to the ACS.
This may be in the form of Student ID, CV, Employment History and Referees, which can be uploaded during the application process.

The ACS membership price shown is for the current membership year. You will receive an invoice in June 2027 for the next full year.
