Reviewers Comments:
"...sensual nudes that pay homage to the female form in a manner that is both graceful and elegant. Very rarely do we come across a portfolio that strikes us so deeply..." - The New Nude Magazine
"The poses taken by his models connect the work of Chris Ball to that of a director of theater playing with accessories and sets to tell a secret and personal history whose meaning would remain out of reach. " - Incubuschoice
"black and white nude images of high quality....If you are interested in photography this is a great place" - JanesGuide
"His work is of the highest quality." - Jade:The International Erotic Art & Literature Magazine
"The effort of creating just this quality of light and shadow is a tribute to the torturously exquisite attention Ball bequeaths his models. What we are allowed and enabled to envision is Ball’s true art, the ultimate seduction, the torture." - Stevie Burns Voracitybeat
"beautiful artwork of an experienced photographer" -Shadows
"Beautiful style...graceful figures, with one remarkable erotic power." - Liberaeva Mag
''....Fine art nude in its lexical meaning: captivating b/w scenes of the female form...'' - Artoffice
His imagery is ...........''..natural poetry.'' - Ffotografieren
“Throwing Stones has just opened at the Greenwich Playhouse and it enters the dark and perverse world of child pornography in a studied and highly creative way. Indeed, it comes close to being a totally absorbing evaluation of what some might believe is true art while others might cringe in horror at the sight of what they see is an indecent image.....Anton Krause’s direction is impeccable; Helen Chadney, Christopher Vian-Smith, Shaun Stone and Geraldine Garner generate performances which are outstanding while Laura Murphy exudes sex from every pore.” Roy Atterbury – Bexley Times
“Mid-life male photographer meets young, nubile female student-cum-artistic muse - so far it’s old hat. But photographer turned playwright Christopher John Ball and co-writer Dean Sipling, whose background is film and television, bring the pairing into a thoroughly contemporary world of intercepted emails, sinister insinuation and sharp retorts. Their ‘guilty until proved innocent’ plot ... is thoroughly watchable and believable - perhaps as a result of Ball’s professional insights and DS Dom Lucas’ services as police advisor to the production.” Barbara Lewis – The Stage
"This is fringe theatre at its best, experimental, vaguely existential" - Clifford Thurlow - The New Nude Magazine.
"The writers... bravely tackle this controversial subject to produce a challenging and thought-provoking modern drama." -Bromley Times

Christopher was recently interviewed and filmed at work for inclusion in Playboy TV's Sexcetera programme.
