Tish Underwood
M. Photog., FP, SP

     Tish’s love of travel and photography go hand in hand. She found her niche in landscape photography during many road trips throughout the US. Her photographic images capture scenes from coast to coast…oceans to the mountains, lush greens to the orange-reds of the desert southwest, sunrises, sunsets, and nightscapes.
     Tish has been a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) since 2010 and a member of the Virginia Professional Photographers Association (VPPA) since 2013. Recognizing the valuable learning experience that can be gained from image competitions, Tish began submitting her landscape images in PPA and VPPA image competitions in 2016. She was a PPA Platinum Medalist in 2021, a Gold Medalist in 2019, and a Bronze Medalist in 2018 and 2017. She was recognized as a VPPA Top Ten Photographer of the Year in 2018, 2019, and 2021. Tish met the image competition requirements to be awarded the VPPA Fellow of Photography (FP) degree in February 2019 and the PPA Master of Photography (M.Photog) degree in January 2020. She was awarded the VPPA Service to Photography (SP) degree in 2021.
