Asheville November Meeting

Join us for our second semi-annual member’s portfolio presentations. Hear what inspired them to select their topic and what steps they took to build their portfolio.

An Evening with Tony and Cannon

Come on out and support your CNPA team. Please join us to see and learn what The Photo Outfitters is all about, and how Tony and Cannon can help you on your photographic journey.

Between the two of them, Tony Ulchar and Cannon Spradley have been working camera retail for over 30 years and significantly more taking photos. They’re incredibly passionate about both topics and have a deep desire to share them as much as possible. Join them as they break down the journey that led them to open The Photo Outfitters and how they hope to change the direction of the camera retail industry for the better.

They’ll also be taking us through a practice that has sadly become decreasingly popular in the digital age: photo printing. Tony and Cannon will walk us through the practice, from the edit to the materials to the final product, even touching on the importance of continuing the tradition of darkroom printing in the modern era. Good photographs shouldn’t spend their entire lives on a hard drive.

Asheville October Meeting

Our guest professional critique member images on what works and what possible enhancements could be made to take the images from great to wow!
