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.

Mickey Arlow is a well known animal photographer and owner of Animal House Studio. She can hypnotize any dog (and some cats) into posing for a lasting memory of your favorite friend.

Recently Mickey has been working in “textures” and adding them to some of her images – perhaps ones with cluttered backgrounds – you know, like taken at the zoo!
