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
