Ask most photographers where they could stand to improve in their post processing and they will talk about how little they know about how to get their colors to look realistic and to match what they felt / saw / experienced and want to convey.   While color may be something that we never fully master, we can look to an industry expert to help us close that gap!

Blake Rudis is a retired USAF Combat Veteran and a classically trained artist who started as a painter. Blake transitioned into printmaking and sculpture where he received his BFA in Fine art from the University of Delaware.  This education and background is the basis of how he incorporates his knowledge of aesthetics and color theory in his courses and is known for his acclaimed Photoshop® workflow.
