Each month, except January, PSNWA has a general meeting. Most meetings consist of a guest photographer sharing their work and photographic experience. Locations vary throughout Northwest Arkansas. Join us for the next PSNWA meeting.
The PSNWA Distinguished Photographer series presents Beverly Buys, a cyanotype artist from Hot Springs, Arkansas.
A former educator who is listed on the Arkansas Arts Registry, she is a 57th Delta exhibition participant, and has hung solo shows at the Delta Cultural Center, ASU Beebe Gallery, and many other locations. Primarily known for cyanotypes, she is an analogue photographer working with light sensitive materials and chemistry in a traditional darkroom.
Brooklyn photographer Ed Drew was commissioned to photograph Black Arkansas Veterans upon a recent relocation to Little Rock – a work on social equality which is currently on exhibit at the Mosaic Templar Cultural Center.
Since 2017, Carlos Diaz has travelled 30,000 miles photographing Confederate Monuments as they are being removed. As a person of color, he is “bravely attentive” to American history and national shortcomings on race and diversity.
In an effort to better understand the controversy and complexity of Confederate Monuments, Carlos hopes his viewers will engage as culture transforms, and contribute to conversations about our changing American experience.
Since 2018, Eileen Powers has had 11 rounds of chemotherapy, abdominal resection surgery due to lymphoma, a stem cell transplant and a CAR t-cell treatment.
She is a photographer, artist and graphic designer living on Cape Cod who fought cancer with levity and joy. Upon losing hair to chemo, her friends replaced it in the most humorous ways – eventually making nearly 100 heads of replacement hair.
Personal Projects are created from a burning desire to photograph with a message in mind.
The subject of your message could be on identity, diversity, atrocity, or even a pandemic. But how do you get started? How do you gain access to photograph the subjects that inspire you? And what about process? If starting can be hard, how do you know when you are done?

The Board of Directors of the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas strives to provide benefits to members including the distinguished photographer series, classes, and events. As our region’s leading community of photographers, our primary concern during this unprecedented time is to ensure the health and safety of our members. Because of this, PSNWA is announcing several changes to the schedule in light of the current health risks associated with the COVID-19 virus.
The Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas is postponing in-person classes and events, but will continue to provide services for members by scheduling online meetings and webinars.
PSNWA Distinguished Photographer Series Speaker Sannetta Marsh is an internationally published, award-winning documentary family and birth photographer based out of Southwest Missouri.
When she is not photographing the real life stories of her clients, you can find her on her 20 acre hobby farm homeschooling her son and raising a fun variety of animals, camera in hand.

Light is Light – Photography in its simplest definition is recording Light & Shadows to define your subject. Join us for a discussion on how Natural or Applied Lighting is the most most basic element of photography.
In PSNWA’s November General Meeting, Josh Mills will give you an understanding the basics of how light works, allowing you to capture images with the look you want to achieve whether it is Natural, Off Camera Flash, or Constant Lighting.
