dp+ is open to the following:

1. photographers - All kinds. This is the key people in this group. It doesn't matter whether you are a professional, an enthusiast or hobbyist, a newbie or an amateur as long as you have an itch to shoot photos. It doesn't matter whether you just shoot digital or film. It doesn't matter what format you use, and what brand of camera you prefer. It doesn't even matter if it is a pinhole or lomo or just a mobile phone pic, just as long as you produce images you'd be proud to affix you signature to, then you're in.

2. those who shop for good photographers - Prospective photo buyers are welcome to the group, whether you are involved in advertising or editorial, journalistic or commercial photography. If you want to shop around for a good photographer to assign projects to or if you merely want to learn what to look for in a good photograph or photographer for that matter, or learn the issues facing photographers these days, this group is also for you.

3. those who want their pictures taken - It includes models who want their pictures taken for their portfolio or just an average Joe or Mary who always want to have captured images of him- or herself that he/she can be proud of, or anybody who needs a well represented image of him or herself. This group is also for you.

4. those who are in any way connected to the photo industry - Like photo equipment and gadget suppliers, galleries, photo labs, events planners and organizers, etc., this is a targeted audience to show your stuffs. (Just try not to flood the wall with advertisement-like post or limit posting so you won't monopolize the wall.) This group is for you, too!
