blok EDU Launch

Well folks, the moment is here. We've officially launched our education program!

We curated this program with the intent to bring a unique learning experience to the community. Courses will cover a range of genres and topics within the creative realm. Free Photoshop and Lightroom lessons will be offered as well as seminars designed to inspire. As if that isn't enough awesomeness, we have some incredible giveaways from great sponsors. A calendar of these courses will be found here. Sign up for our mailing list or follow us on instagram and facebook to stay updated on new courses as we will be adding them frequently.

Tomorrow we'll be featuring a guest post from one of our instructors, Thomas Ingersoll, that ties into our first class. He will also be leading the monthly Photoshop and Lightroom lessons. Thomas has a deep passion for photography and teaching. He's done some phenomenal work around the state. You can check out his work here.

Don't believe the hype. You can look pulled together and camera ready without spending hours in the mirror or makeup chair. Whether it's for a day at work, a photo shoot or a journey into makeup artistry, we've compiled the five core products you need for a five minute face.

Brow Pencils: There's nothing more pertinent to makeup application than a well-groomed set of arches! Brow pencils are compact, easy to use and offer instant results.
