Benson Blake, Photographer

Behind the Lens

Benson Blake began his photography career with his first camera at the ripe age of three. However, it wasn't until college that he realized the true gift he had. As a member of the Tuskegee University Concert Choir, he would photograph the group as they traveled and sang around the country. This photojournalistic style of photography has contributed to many of the images Benson creates today. He enjoys telling stories through his photographs by capturing how each event naturally unfolds.

Benson continues to hone his skills and apply new techniques to his craft. He does this by attending workshops and seminars conducted by the world’s most renowned portrait & event photographers. These experiences help spark new ideas that enrich the photographs produced for his clients. Benson loves to travel and will gladly travel to wherever you're located, with cameras in hand!

"As photographers, we all take different paths to arrive at the same place.  We have been given the tremendous responsibility to capture the beauty and spirit of the people we photograph. God has given us talents and our subjects have entrusted themselves to us."   - Vicki Taufer
