This is going to be the ride of your life! Special Offer - Limited Time Only Tuesday, February 01, 2011 Queensland, Australia Dear Photography Enthusiast, If you've ever wanted to take stunning photos (faster than you ever dreamed possible), that delight you in more ways than you can imagine, while doing photography from the comfort of your own backyard, then this will be the most important message you have ever read. Here's what this is all about: My name is Amy Renfrey. I'm a professional photographer and teacher, who teaches photography in plain, (everyday) english and loves teaching you (photography enthusiasts) to shoot breathtaking images, immediately. I'm about to show you how you can transform your images from dull and lifeless into brilliantly powerful works of art, leaping to life with energy and enthusiasm no matter if you've been doing photography for ten years or ten days. It's very important for you turn that burning passion into stunning images. It's vital that you be confident and in control of the camera to produce the magic photos you want. Just read this letter, the important rules for good photography, take advantage of what I'm offering and you'll quickly gain access through the back door into a new world of mind blowing skill and ability. I'll show you how to photograph anything, anytime, with any camera easily and quickly. You see I wasn't always a pro photographer, or a teacher. Not that long ago I was an enthusiast photographer, (just like you are now) with a burning desire to be intensely skilled in photography. The major problem was that I knew the basics of photography, but not enough to really be overly proud of, or take shots I was able to confidently show the whole world with pride. It was damn frustrating to tell you the truth. I would shoot all the things I loved and adored, like weddings, family and friends, roses in my garden, the beach, ducks feeding at the lake?but still, after blood, sweat and tears, I still wasn't making a breakthrough in my photography. I mean, they were ok, but I didn't want them to be just "ok", I wanted them to be "excellent". The problem was that with all my time spent shooting; my shots still didn't look clear or sharp at all. The colour was dull and my photos never had that "blow-you-away', "jaw-dropping" factor that professional images did. I looked at photography websites, read books, subscribed to blogs, magazines... you name it I did it. I relentlessly searched and persisted for anything to help me become a more skilled photographer. The awful thing was that I knew there was a whole other level I was missing out on; I just didn't know what it was. I was searching for some missing, hidden secrets that would give me the awe and respect I wanted, from myself and from others. But it all just eluded me. The technical photography jargon confused me and the simple stuff was way under my level. I felt like I was in a dark corner. The professional photographers that I came across were always so damn protective. When I asked for help, or even a simple tip for god sake, they never wanted to share anything. Sometimes they were such simple questions such as "how do I make my landscape shots look wide, clear and expansive?" And "how to I make portraits look soft and romantic for my friends wedding?" They acted as if sharing information with me was like stealing money from them. Or asking about their sex life or asking for the launch codes to a nuclear missile. I made a big mistake by showing some of my photos to a professional photographer once. He laughed at me and said "you'll never get anywhere with those? I was humiliated. Another time, a photographer crossed his arms defensively and told me I shouldn't ask professionals things like that, because people might be offended. Offended? What? Why? Were these people for real? Things were pretty bleak. After three gruelling years of feeling frustrated and unhappy with my photos I was ready to give it up. I put my precious camera away on the shelf and descended into misery. It was pure gut wrenching agony. Then, like a genie from a bottle, my prayers were answered. I remember that day as clear as what I had for breakfast this morning. I decided to take a drive through a beautiful town in my home state. I shot a quick glance out the window and suddenly noticed how amazing the landscape looked. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, mounted the little digital on my cheap, plastic tripod and began taking some shots of that beautiful landscape. But this time was different. Instead of shooting a thousand shots and hoping one would turn out I thought carefully about what I was doing. I actually stood there for a while, gazing at the scene, absorbing it all in. I began to truly examine and assess the light, thinking smarter about what I could do with my camera to capture the beautiful light gently drifting across the landscape at that divine moment. All of a sudden something dawned on me. I began to realise something. I pressed the shutter button. When I looked at the photo on the back of the view finder I swear that I stopping breathing for a moment. I am sure my heart skipped a beat. I stared at the photo in pure amazement. "Holy Crap! I Nailed it!" I said blinking at the camera in disbelief. I flew home in the car! Cursed the slow drivers on the way home, and arrived at my front door, panting and sweating. I threw the door open like a crazed fool, bolted into my home office (knocking over the lamp in the hallway) and turned the computer on. I excitedly opened the image in Photoshop and held my breath in anticipation?. Sure enough, there it was! The photo stared back at me, like the mysterious golden egg I'd been chasing all this time. I'd finally taken my first stunning photo. A photo I could be proud of. A photo I could show off. That day the penny dropped and I finally understood what it took to create beautiful photos. And, most importantly, I finally understood what I had been doing wrong all this time. I knew all the tricks to dramatically improve my photos. I knew things that professionals knew. This was the real thing. My life would never be the same again because I'd discovered the secret of a lifetime! At long last I had grasped the information I needed to become a professional, self taught photographer. I wanted to laugh! I wanted to cry with joy! I was finally doing it! From then on, my "people" photos went from this... "Untitled Crappy Photo" By Amy Renfrey 2002 To this... "The Jazz Singer" By Amy Renfrey in 2009 And my black and white photos went from this... "crappy black and white photo" by Amy Renfrey in 2002 To this... "The Jazz Musician" by Amy Renfrey in 2009 Okay I didn't really call those bad shots those names, I'm just being silly, but you get what I mean. When you look back on the shots you take, after developing your skills, it's a bit embarrassing to say the least. Then over the next 3 months after my light bulb moment, I gained so much confidence that I was shooting events and even selling my photos! I was on fire. There's a good reason I am telling you all this. You see, there is a BS myth floating around that it takes "years and years" to become a skilled and talented photographer. Well I'm here to tell you that's sheer nonsense. That type of drivel is just a damn lie and one you can live without. Forget the "years and years to be any good" BS, because I am living, breathing proof that you do not need endless years of time and frustration or relentless energy wasted on taking bad photos. And what I am about to tell you will completely alter your perception of yourself in relation to your photography. Please listen and take notice of this, I'm only saying it once... Being the photographer you've always imagined does not depend on getting the "best equipment? No! It profoundly depends on your ability to work with light. Sound too simple? If it were that simple then everyone would be good at photography, right? Wrong. Photo enthusiasts spend way too much time reading stuff that tells them to get a better, bigger camera and doesn't tell them how to assess the light (and composition) on your scene first, or examine physical elements that become a photo, before shooting. It's so important, yet everyone misses it. I'm going to tell you a big secret here: Light is the only thing you truly need to give a damn about. Every lens, camera, filter, tripod (and everything else you can spend a fortune on), all work to give you much sharper, clearer, brighter, and more balanced light. But these things don't create brilliant photos on their own. Not knowing how to work with light was breaking me, well my heart actually, as you can see from those awful photos (above) took back in 2002. Let me explain... Let's say you are shooting a wedding. What is the one thing that makes your wedding photos look soft and romantic, loving and classy? Good lighting! Good lighting equals a good photo. Dud lighting equals a dud photo. It's pretty simple really. Once you master the art of lighting (and I'll show you how), everything else follows. It honestly does. When photos are dreadful it's usually because the light is unbalanced, uneven, too overexposed or too underexposed. Here are some very important things to know if you want to become good at photography: (You can't live without these by the way) Too much light diminishes detail and colour loses it's vibrancy and strength (your flower and nature shots become plain, dull and hard to see) Not enough light gives the wrong contrast and loses fine detail (you lose fine detail in facial expression, glowing skin, sparkling eyes and beautiful lips) The wrong light makes your images look blurry, out of focus and simply dull (your landscapes look flat, unbalanced; all the beautifully crisp detail in mountain ranges loses impact and drama instantly) The good news is that: Even, warm light makes people look like wonderful, happy creatures (who love being photographed) Soft and Filtered lighting conditions make flowers seem alive and real, (as if you could smell their scent coming from the photo and feel their soft, delicate petals with your fingers) Balanced, even lighting will give you the unfair advantage in your photography to work in any situation or outdoor scene (even if you have a basic, el-cheap digital camera you bought from Walmart, Kmart or second hand off Ebay.) Sweet light (dusk and dawn) can be the key to shooting colourful and classy city shots and night (where you capture the colours of the setting or rising sun behind the sparkling lights of the cityscape.) "Okay well, that's fine" I hear you say, "but how does this apply to me?" I'm going to answer that right now. I am going to show you: How to stop the struggle with frustration from poorly shot photos of your precious moments (even if they're of your best friends wedding or a tiny flower in the backyard; they all matter) Discover how to master and work with light in all situations (without long and painful explanations, everything is explained in plain English) Learn the major mistakes that amateurs make with portraits and what you can do to avoid it How you can "open up" your landscape shots just by using a basic digital camera (ideal if you don't have the money or time to get a wide angle lens, this will save you years of frustration) The truth behind creating fascinating "view points" in your photo using nothing but blank space (this will amaze and surprise you, and help you out when you get stuck for creating more intimate and personal portraits) You can now become the photographer you want to be. And it's explained in plain English. And delivered it in a way that is fun and easy, no matter what age, gender, race or religion you are. My husband and I put our heads together and came up an ingenious idea; a brand spanking new product for photography enthusiasts to learn from at your own pace, and in easy plain English, and yes, for a bargain.
