Come Back to f.64 Elite!

f.64 Elite is my Premium website that offers 30+ full-length courses, critique sessions of member images, Live Event replays, discounts, challenges, and a whole lot more!

When you join you will have access to all of the archived content. The best part is, that there are no messy contracts, the tuition is paid on a month-to-month basis and you can leave at any time with no questions or hassles.

The investment is less than the cost of a movie and popcorn and you will get a whole lot more out of it!

I am finding the value of the education I’m receiving from your instruction to be among the best I’ve encountered. Your preferred method for converting a color image to black and white was the initial factor in gaining my undivided attention. Your basis was so obvious, yet completely missing from every other ex-spurt’s method I’ve seen (and used!).

I’m glad to have stumbled upon your work. I’m trashing so many miss-guided approaches to my workflow based on your simple and straight-forward perspectives (and tools).

I was a professor for 40 years in 9 universities. I wish you would have taught me how to teach 40 years ago. You are doing it right with this website. Every photographer should join f.64 Elite and I will share that advice with everyone. -Patrick

Meet Your f.64 Elite Instructor

Blake Rudis

Blake is a self-published author and the host of f64 Academy. While his focus has been strong in HDR photography for the past five years or so, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others. Blake takes great pride in his Fine Art background. From Acrylic and Oil Painting to Printmaking and Sculpture he has had his hands in just about every art form. This has been paramount in shaping his ideologies on Photography and Post Processing. For Blake, it is not about the act of photography, but the artistic process as a whole.

What current members are saying about f.64 Elite

I’ve known Blake for over a year. During that time, not only my photography skills, but my overall artistic ability has improved dramatically. Blake has a formal degree in the arts as well as years of experience. The real skill he brings to his students, though, is an understandable approach to developing one’s own artistic creativity. The latest example of his originality is the F64 Academy. It is more than just watching tutorials on the Internet. It is a way to learn different techniques and then share them with like-minded art lovers from around the globe. It’s a wonderful way to develop as a photographer and artist. I can recommend Blake’s F64 Academy without hesitation. -Richard Since I have become acquainted with Blake Rudis through his tutorials and previous photography education site, HDR Insider, my photography skills have grown rapidly. I particularly appreciate feeling welcome even though I am relatively new to photography. I am still exploring my photography passion and searching to develop my personal style. The resources on f.64 Academy and the willingness of Blake and the others on the site to assist with comments and encouragement are very effective in helping me learn and grow stress-free. Being an Elite member really maximizes the learning potential. I see a long and interesting journey ahead and am happy to travel that path with interesting, engaged people. -Paula Blake and Jake have developed a site, F64Academy Elite, that is only interested in helping other photographers. If you have a question about photography, there is someone on this site that can help you with your question and are very qualified and happy to help. Some of the other sites I have worked with before have members that are reluctant to help. They seem to be afraid that you may become better than they are. Not with this site. Photographers on this site are interested in helping photographers. This is a very friendly website with very qualified, friendly photographers that want to help improve others photography. -Don F64Elite is a unique approach to helping photographers achieve their goals and vision. While it's full of great tips and courseware to help me make better photographs, the aspect I truly find refreshing, invigorating, inspiring, and downright fun, is it's a community that's focused on making one another better photographers. Period. There is an endless supply of places and materials to help me make a given photograph a little better. But there are few places with such a broad range of personalities who will encourage and help make me a much better photographer. I've definitely seen noticeable improvements in my photography, but the thing that's got me totally sold on this platform is what it's doing for me and my friends here at F64Elite in making us all better photographers. Better with the gear. Better with the workflow. Better with the time and money invested. Better able to enjoy photography and integrate it into my life journey. -Jeffrey F.64Elite is the latest brainchild of Blake Rudis. This is the ultimate site for improving your photograpic processing skills. I have learnt so much from Blake's video tutorials and learning proprams over the past couple of years. The use of Facebook to keep up with the latest tutorials by YouTube links, members comments and their feedback has now been replaced by one user-friendly site. I enrolled for life membership as soon as the F.64 Elite was up and running And am enjoying the experience immensely. -Roy Blake Rudis is a down to earth wonderful teacher. I have been watching and learning from Blake for about a year now, and as a beginner have learned so much from him. He has a wonderful teaching style that is easy to follow and is very knowledgeable he all he teaches. -Marla

The lessons are small and palatable, between 5 and 15 minutes per lesson making it easy to hop in and out as your time is available.

Monthly Critique Sessions

We are often shaken by the phrase, “…you have room for improvement…”. We try so hard to strive for perfection that the term “room for improvement” makes us want to cry. The reality of the situation is that room for improvement means new growth, the opportunity to try new things, and the journey of continuously improving upon your trade. If someone said, “It’s perfect” about everything you did, there would be no need or reason to grow. Eventually, the idea of perfection would be diluted. On HDR Insider (my old subscription site) Blake conducted Critique Sessions for the members. He brought the mentality of the Fine Art classroom into the Online Digital Photography education platform. What seemed like a crazy idea at the time turned out to be the most successful element of the site. Blake is continuing the tradition of Fine Art classroom style critique sessions on f.64 Elite. If you are all about continuous improvement and want to grow as an artist/photographer, then these critique sessions are designed for you. The courses on f.64 Elite are lesson based. When you enroll in a course, your progress is tracked. You can stop in the middle of a course and pick up on the next lesson. The lessons are small and palatable, between 5 and 15 minutes per lesson making it easy to hop in and out as your time is available.

These events will be recorded and placed on the site for later viewing if the timing just isn't right for you.

The HDR Insider Archives

On HDR Insider, Blake conducted Workflow Tutorials, created Actions packages, did Critique Sessions, and made a segment called Zone System Quick Tips. There were also Projects that were given out at the beginning of the month. From that project, Blake would create a workflow at the end of the month.

Blake decided to bring the Workflows, Actions, Critiques and Quick Tips onto f.64 Elite. You can now access all 2+ years worth of content right on f.64 Elite. f.64 Elite Members have access to all of the archived content at the click of a button. This alone is a treasure trove of valuable information.

Worth the money even though some of the courses are a little outdated (6 years) and photoshop has changed so much in that time.

After an early grounding in Photoshop, moved to a vocation that didn't require it. Moving to a remote location during the introduction of digital, picked up the new developments and techniques on the internet. Yeah, hit or miss Photoshop instruction. Learned more on this course than any other single source.
