Why Photography Is Always Under Attack
Photography has always faced criticism in the art world. From the time it first came on the scene, people have questioned whether it was “real art.” In this video, I look back at moments in art history when new tools sparked fear and backlash,...
AI, the Algorithm, and Authenticity
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about three things every artist is up against today: AI, authenticity, and the algorithm. These aren’t small forces by any stretch of the imagination. They shape what we see, what gets shared, and even how we feel about our own work....

What Others Are Saying
This is the best site I have come across. The majority of other sites offer skill training and leave you feeling short changed when the total learning experience is very limited. Your site offers innovation on every occasion.
Your tutorials are not only well written, but do not work on the premise that your audience are not ‘experts’, in other words, you tend to be quite specific about who you target.
I appreciate the tutorials and the revelations you are sharing with everyone. A number of photographers won’t even tell you their camera settings let alone how they post processed. You have provided a number of people with new tools to add to their workflows.
I have learned more about photography and photoshop in the last year from Blake, than I have from all other sources in the past decade.
