Some bragging first..I had work as a photographer's assistant and also do freelance on my own. I am young, but already am advance in many areas of photography. Now that the ego of me had been written out and also to show I know what I am saying, time for a piece of my thoughts...
So many people out there assume by having the most expensive tools of trade would automatically make them a master in their field of art. Most of them don't even realize that they lack the basics. Yet, they still got the guts to go pro. This I really respect them, in a sarcastic manner, of cause.
In the photography community, contacts are important. Every photographer know every other photographer. Words spread fast too if you are not up to par and try to act as if you are. It's funny how I keep hearing people laughing behind those newbie backs at them.
To those wannabe out there in Malaysia who wAnts to go pro, please, I beg of you, get your basics right first; learn from the old horses; get your contact build up first...don't go ditching your day job just because you think fast money can be made in photography field. In the end, the only loss is you, not me nor the world.
Btw, what I put up on DA are just a selected few of my works, usually of certain aspect of me. It doesn't represent in any way my true capabilities in photography. So, don't ever make the mistake of judging me in being a newbie in this field.
