The Photography X-factor (E-Book)

How A Rookie Photographer Stumbled Across This
SHOCKING Photography Secret

From: Gerald Soh

Dear Friend,
If you love photography just as I do and want to take beautiful pictures, then this is going to be the most exciting message you will ever read.

Imagine...being able to take beautiful photos at the next family outing & impressing everyone with your flash photography skills...wouldn’t it be great to finally be the talk of the party?

My name is Gerald Soh and yes, I do look like a Taiwan Superstar =]

Now, I didn’t start out as a professional photographer with many expensive camera lenses, flash guns and other equipments.

I had problems while taking photos in wedding dinners, in parties....during vacations....and I just couldn’t take nice photos. Most of the photos taken were either blurry, overexposed, too much contrast and others.

I was a struggling so-called photographer trying to learn how shoot like an experienced photographer.
Obviously, I failed many times.

I couldn’t even take a simple beautiful picture because I wasn’t gifted in photography.

I spent my hard-earned money from my part time job to attend photography courses, but didn’t learn what I needed to achieve the realism of an experienced photographer.

I can still remember the first time I offered to take photos for my relative’s baby back in 2007, when I didn’t really understand how to attain my potential.

I thought I managed to take nice photos, so I shared it with all my friends – but they laughed at my photography skills.

Because I’m Not Gifted In Photography, Most Of My Friends Told Me To Give Up!

Looking at their photos, I felt that I was not as skilful, couldn’t take photos as well as they could. I Might As Well Stayed At Home And Watched Football.

And after awhile, I tend to shy away from family outings and my buddies stopped inviting me to go hang out with them.

Until today, I still keep that few baby photos that I shot in my mini photography lab...

After years of trials and errors, I’m now able to take a baby’s photo like this...

This is not from overnight success. I’ve been practicing and learning for almost every single day to attain a higher level of photography skills.

The truth is... there was this one year period that I did not improve my photography techniques at all. After achieving the results that I wanted, I concentrated on teaching others (my cousins and friends), at the expense of myself. Because of teaching others, I lack of practice time and stopped learning in photography for almost a year! My photography techniques became stuck at the same level without improvement.

Deep down in my heart, I know that I’ve been satisfied for where I am in my photography techniques and skills. I’ve been satisfied that I stopped improving my photography skills.

Then, one day, everything changed...

I was invited to join an event that is organized for every photographer to share their masterpiece with everyone.

I suddenly did not feel so satisfied anymore. I had thought I was good enough to master the art of photography... until I met many experienced photographers who were far better than me.

Suddenly, I felt like an amateur photographer who just owned a camera yesterday!

And while I was inspired by them, being with these experienced photographers made me totally dissatisfied.

It was time to do some soul searching...

You see, most people take expensive photography courses and buy many different types of pricey equipments.

The problem is...

I don't have thousands of dollars to throw at new cameras, lights, and to enrol in courses as I have spent most of my hard-earned money.

So, I decided to learn the hard way.

I sat at my “little photography lab” at home looking at all of my previous photos taken… and eventually thought of a different way to shoot them. A different way to make photos look more interesting and beautiful.

I begin practicing and taking photos every day again to crack the code of going to the next level of photography…

The word "practice makes perfect" is so true!

After months of practicing...

I Discovered Something.....

I notice a similar pattern among most photographers. Most of them, if not all of them mentioned this same concern. They hold an “unfair advantage” of upper card because they knew about this long time ago. They knew the importance of this and through hard times and lots of effort; they perfect this specific skill which makes them a professional in this field.
