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.

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
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!
Thank you for making this the BEST workshop I have ever attended. Your kindness, patience, and desire for us to learn are greatly appreciated.
