Testimonial

“Blair was one of our volunteer photographers at our Rock for Love 4 weekend of concerts that raised money for the Church Health Center. Blair’s photos are amazing and he was quick to share them with us so that we could make the most of our post-event publicity. Blair was easy to work with and his photos, both of the performers and the concert-goers, was really something special. He has a knack for catching the grit of a sweaty night at the Hi Tone and the pure fun of a run through the sprinkler (it was very hot at our day show).” 
Marvin Stockwell, Public Relations Manager, Church Health Center

What participants are saying

Blair Ball workshops rate a 10+ and here is why. The class sizes are small allowing Blair to spend a lot of time teaching with each student.

Keeping the workshop small allows Blair to spend time answering questions, giving demonstrations and offering tips about cameras.

He is genuinely interested in seeing that we become better photographers and more confident with our cameras.

Todd S.

Student

Memphis Street Photography provided teaching at its best, a great learning experience with an expert in the field as your coach, great new friends and tremendous knowledge expansion.

What a great day! This was my third class under Blair Ball.  He makes it so easy to learn and guides you in the field to do your best photography.  I anxiously await another opportunity to learn from him! 

Scarlett C.

Student

I had the awesome opportunity to attend Blair Ball’s “Street Photography” class.   I found it informative and fun.

I highly recommend attending Blair Ball’s classes.  His instruction is easy to follow and you will walk away with much more than you came with!  I intend to take several more to sharpen my skills

Tammy A. 

Student

I can truthfully say I got my money’s worth out of Memphis Street Photography Workshop. I got out of my normal shooting zone. I got better shooting ideas by being with a group. I got expert instruction from someone who has “Been there and done that.” Got most wins for me in digital competition at Memphis Camera Club

 Barry B.

Student

When I signed up for your beginning digital camera workshop and then your Lightroom workshop, I had no idea what a journey I was beginning.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, not only about photography but how to use my camera features and Lightroom more effectively.  This journey is fascinating.  Thank you!

 Linda C.
