Ross Benton

 At a recent event Ross Benton took the stage to teach many of his photoshop techniques that have earned him a multitude of awards in a very short period of time. “He was extremely patient and took the time to go over the steps more than once within each action to achieve the beautiful textures and romance he adds to his portraits and wedding images. I believe he really helped everyone learn more about the layers pallet and how to understand the blending modes in Photoshop. He also elaborated on his talent as a designer, creating gorgeous wedding album layouts for his clients and others who seek out his expertise. It was a wonderfully interactive program that involved a very packed audience. Great job Ross!” San Antonio Photographer

Ross Benton is one of today's most poignant, compelling wedding photographers. Boasting an impressive collection of awards in the past two years—2008 Best Wedding Print General exhibit SWPPA, 2 Loan prints, State Distinguished Album, 6 State Distinguished Prints, 5 Regional Distinguished Prints, Regional Judge's Choice, 1^st Place in Illustrative Print, 1^st Place in Illustrative Print TPPA Kerrville and a Kodak Gallery Award of Excellence—Ross has the uncanny ability to glimpse a fleeting moment and to beautifully suspend it with the mere depression of his shutter. With a casual, approachable personality, Ross is able to engage his subjects and coax them into a calm, relaxed mood necessary for creating natural fine-art portraiture and emotional photojournalistic images. Additionally, he possesses a fantastic eye for lighting and composition and an innate ability to create mood, drama and emotion, which are beautifully expressed in both his images and his albums.
