it's not hard. add an " 's " to any singular noun (exclusions apply) to make it possessive..
1. Photographer's
Just add an apostrophe after the noun if it's singular, but ends with S.
2. Ross'
If the noun is plural possessive, put an apostrophe after the s.
3. tents'
Hoped I helped. ;)

photographer's (there is one photographer; add 's)
Ross's (There is one Ross. Except in special cases like Jesus' and Moses', a noun that ends in 's' is still made possessive by adding an 's.)
tents' (There is more than one tent, so you simply add an apostrophe to make this plural noun possessive.)
Always pay attention to the number of the noun you are trying to make possessive.

Put apostrophe s on the singular ones, even if they end in s.

Ross's
Tents is plural, so just add an apostrophe.
tents'

Sigh..... The rule is to add an apostrophe and an "s" if it does not already end in "s." So the answer to the first question would be:
photographer's
and the answer to the third would be:
tents'
When it is a proper name, add an apostrophe and an s even if it already ends in s.
Ross's
Trust me on this. I taught English for seven years.
