“No matter how many shoots I do with excessive and expensive strobe lights, crazy poses, beautiful models, I will always have an attachment with pure simplicity and beauty in images.” Blake says reflecting on his photography.

“I would have to agree with Blake that he has a clean / crisp approach to photography that holds the viewers attention.” States Professor Gootee, who has been one of Blake’s instructors over the past several years at Mississippi State University. “Blake’s images are very diverse and yet have a unified visual approach. Blake has exhibited and received awards on all levels from local to international venues. I expect that he will continue being successful throughout his career.”
