August General Meeting: Craig Underwood
How I went from novice to award winning photographer in seven years!
Craig Underwood has a good eye for beauty, and as owner of Underwoods Jewelry, it’s easy to see why focusing on natural beautify is easy for Craig. In fact, landscape photography is one of his favorites, and this subject has made him an award winner at the Ozarks Photo Challenge, sponsored by Bedford’s Camera and PSNWA.

June 2019 – Photographer Brandon Watts – “Studio Tour and General Meeting”
Brandon Watts may only be three years into his studio work, but he is a red-hot photographer in Northwest Arkansas. Wherever there is an event, you are sure to find Brandon jammin’ at the scene. There are very few studios being opened today, perhaps only three in the last five years, and fewer photographers still that understand how to turn flash into cash.
Here is a humble, grounded artist making a difference in our community.
Join us in his studio in Lowell for a quick tour and discussion of how to make it as a full-time freelance photographer. PSNWA is privileged to have Brandon open his studio to speak to us, so please stop by and hear his story.
